Thought of another one that's REALLY good:

Get those "hamburger dill chips," u know the jar of small pickle slices for putting on hamburgers and whatnot.

Now, get some Ritz crackers or any round buttery cracker. Spread pnut butter on it, then top it off with a pickle slice. It's rly rly good. PPnut butter and pickle are a great combo imo.

Yes well, it has it's upside's if you are to believe Men At Work.

Not so sure it's a real reflection that Vegemite is a good pick up food.

Never tried it for that, think that's a wise decision. Though if a member of the fairer gender gave me a vegemite sandwich, I'd be pretty impressed.

Nope, black pudding is quite the correct translation for "Blutwurst", if this is what you meant.
Google translator was right this one time.

I wasn't translating from german :p

but I guess that is that then

Doc is a huge fan of Southern U.S. cuisine, particularly Cajun and Creole food. Some of you have probably tried the ever-popular: 'Biscuits and Gravy' but have you ever tried:

Tomatoes and gravy

or

Cantaloupe and gravy

Instead of smothering a couple of biscuits in white gravy as normal, substitute either diced tomato or cantaloupe melon for the biscuits. The former is unbelievably delicious no matter how much your instincts say it won't be. The latter is odd initially, but once you acquire a taste, you may find you crave it whenever melons are available.

Another favorite I used to eat a lot of prior to a night of drinking:

1 can smoked oysters
1 small Avocado
1 block cream cheese (any spreadable cheese will work)
1 box Triscuit crackers

Spread cream cheese on a Triscuit cracker, top with a small slice of avocado and one smoked oyster. Eat & repeat.

OMG Man this is so weird... I made biscuits and gravy for dinner tonight, Im sitting here waiting for it to cool.

Synchronicity Shocked

Never tried the maters and gravy, but nothing beats fried green tomatoes. Most ppl around here (East TN) use corn meal, whichI think sux. My mother makes em using flour and salt and pepper. I could eat that stuff every day and not get sick of it,.

Rly wild about the biscuits and gravy tonight, lol Shocked

EDIT: Just got feedback on my sausage gravy: "it's delicious! but... it's too thick." Sad

I just use bacon grease and no meat for making gravy, and let people crumble bacon or sausage on later if they are so inclined. If you make it that way or add the meat at the end you can tell when things are getting too thick a lot sooner, and it's also easier to get children to eat it if there are no mystery lumps/chunks.

I had been eating B&G for quite a while before grandma whipped-up some T&G for me, and I was sure I was going to hate it. I would have outright declined even trying the cantaloupe had it been offered first, but after trying the tomatoes, I was pretty sold.

My wife loves Escargot. (Snails). She got the taste for them when i took her on a cruise. Now, whenever i take her to a nice restaurant she orders them.

Myself, i live for the hot stuff. I blame my mother as she started me down this dark path by putting Tabasco Sauce on her eggs in the morning. I had to try it and was hooked.

I use Sriracha sauce like it is water and put Jalapenos on everything i can find. I regularly cook Mexican food and curries. Especially a good goat curry. Lamb Vindaloo, Indonesian Sambal Goreng and i even make my own Lahksa pastes.

Sadly the wife is not as keen a spice lover as i am, so i usually cook something else for her.

But the weirdest thing i have had was in Ipoh, Malaysia. I believe we had dog in a black-bean sauce. Shocked I didn't know until afterwards. Oops

Yeah, personally I like using some bacon grease in it, which I did tonight, but the way I learned from my mother (hence how SHE likes it and it gets done lol) is kinda strange to me: get the sausage mostly done, drain the grease, then add flour directly onto the sausage, and cook/brown the flouron the sausage, THEN add milk (Freudian slip, I typed milf haha). Turns out pretty good, but to me the more bacon grease the better. It's kinda bad but we have a neverending supply of bacon grease. I'll eat it 2 or 3 times a week, my 61 yr-old mother eats it EVERY fricken day. And yeah, she's got vascular and heart problems. Evil

She said she'd heard of maters and gravy, but like me, she was mystified by the cantaloupe :D

Oh man, you can come hang out around dinner time at my place any time :D

Never tried the snails, just cant bring myself to do it. I cant/wont eat oysters or clams either (tho I love scallops,) I've got this aversion to things that look, are, or at one time might have been slimy.

And would you belive, the guy that eats hot sauce strait, I've never had sriracha, how hot is it compared to Tabasco or Texas Pete, and whats the flavor like?

Oh, last night I had the munchies, and I made a bag of microwave popcorn, then dumped a packet of Old Elpaso Spicy Hot Taco Seasoning (that you're supposed to put on ground beef for tacos) on it, then would dip individual popcorns in sour cream. Was good chit mon Big smile

Scallops are my all time favorite seafood. Hands DOWN! But i also love green lip mussels. I usually put em in a pot with diced tomatoes and herbs etc, and then lots of spices. Makes a great flavor and the juice is to die for.

Sriracha has a nice spicyness to it without killing the newcomer. Maybe i am biased or my internals have developed an asbestos lining after years of eating hot stuff. But depending on how much you use it seems to bring out more flavor in what you are eating. It's weird like that.

The offer of dinner is awesome. You supply the beer or Margaritas and i'll cook until you can't eat anymore!

Hell yeah! I'm actually banned from the local mall because of the Mexican restaurant that's in it makes awesome margaritas Big smile
Freakin security actually called the cops and I got a PI charge.

Now, I ask you, my friends, is it right and just to persecute drunkeness in an establishment where Margarita's are served and they never cut you off??

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!! Twisted

Agreed!

I get them at Margarita-ville in either Las Vegas or Canada side of Niagara Falls. They call it the "Booze in a blender"

http://margaritavillelasvegascom.s3.amazonaws.com/content/img/LasVegas_Bar_Menu.pdf (Second drink down i think.)

Let me give you a cool and EASY Margarita recipe brother:


1 Can Minute Maid Lime-Aid

8oz Terquila Gold

3oz Triple Sec. (preferably Meaghers)

Fill the blender with ice to the top and hit it.


I guarantee you this is the easiest and tastiest frozen Margarita recipe i have ever had.

Trust me, i'm an expert. This will impress.

(If this is too strong for people, tone it down to 6oz Tequila and 2oz Triple Sec.)

Whole wheat toast, buttered, dunked in orange juice.

Rice in plain yogurt.

French fries and baba ganouj.

And mustard sammiches are yummy, you can even hold the PB if you ask me.

But don't you dare put anything in my single malt scotch.
