Then there is always red-eye gravy... <g>
That's TRUE Southern cooking!

That's a good enough reason to learn how to cook, because you won't be

For the love of Mike, Andy. Not everyone is as fastidious about food
as you are and they can walk into a McDonald's without a hiding their
face.

I can tell that Andy is a lad prone to get excited at certain keywords.
One of which is "you know what." The reality is that I merely described
the regional menu at "that place." In no way do I endorse "that
restaurant chain started by Ray Kroc in the 50s." However, if you wish
to eat at "that place with the clown who's name is Ronald but not Jack",
please feel free. My guess it's because your kids are screaming at you
for food while you're driving on the turnpike.

Personally, I don't care too much for the food "there." I don't know
anybody over the age of 13 that does. I must confess though, that I
recently did eat an Egg-you-know-what-muffin the other day. My review is
that it appeared to be food and I didn't die which, in my book, is a
thumbs up.

OTOH, anybody that thinks that butter is great, or will stuff his ugly
puss with bacon, or pork sausage or any number of things, ain't got no
business preaching to anybody about bad food. :-)

No, but they might need to be powerfully hunger, and to have something
to settle the stomach with.

My grandma on my Dad's side (and the rest of the brood), are from
mountain area of western Ky. (USA for the rest of the international
community). She prepared things that were edible, *I* didn't even want
to know what those meals consisted of. What you don't know sometimes,
can't hurt you. But even MCd has a chance to make me gag these days with
the extremely salty dry beef flavoring in their generic hamburgers (1/4
lb'ers) that we all have to *assume* is beef.

I've always preferred the sausage gravy to the traditional red-eye as is
to thin for my liking. Flavor is okay, but if traditional, too thin for me.

It has been rumored to contain a small percentage of fat. I have no
problem with you eating butter. There's no problem there. I'll use it
occasionally, although I'm trying to avoid most fats in my diet.

I think that their Quarter-Pounder with cheese is a very tasty sandwich,
as is the Sausage McMuffen with Egg. Tasty, not necessarily healthy. (I
won't say that for all their products.) Health-wise I'm sure muslie is a
wiser choice for breakfast than sausage and eggs, but for taste,
personally, I prefer the former. This is also not to say that one can't
make an even better tasting cheeseburger at home using different
ingredients. It's saying that there are certain fast-food items from
many different fast-food chains that do taste good.

The fact that it is (or was) called a 'fast-food' restaurant alone often
causes some people to raise their eyebrows.

Fast, cheap, street food for folks with not a lot of time or cash have
been around probably as long as there has been busy thoroughfares. "You
know who" and other burger n' fries joints are, in many ways, the
successor and Americanization of this tradition.

One thing's for sure is that there will always be food snobs saying "no,
no!" Of course, most regular folks will continue to ignore these pushy
people. Sure it ain't fine dining but that's not the point - it never was.

That's the beauty of home cooking. You can cook to taste.

You my sweet, are almost always correct. One of the endearing qualities
you have. But, in this case I did use the word "traditional". The
red-eye gravy in a "tradition" cooking, is always too thin for me.

But a sausage gray, can be as thin or thick as you like... even by
tradition.

Posting under the influence is a problem of epidemic proportions these
days and tends to make a smooth commute on the information highway a
dicey proposition. In the future we'll have blood alcohol testers that
will not allow a user to boot up unless he's fit to type. This should
reduce the problem of the chronic PUIer. :-)

I'll agree with you there - I'd pass too. OTOH, the stuff is
super-hypo-allergenic has a remarkable ability of keeping a human body

There is a reason for that, the reason of which I am sure you are
aware. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
Naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this
way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells,
making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you
always feel smarter after a few beers.

The doctors here recommend poi for babies that have trouble with food
allergies or have problems with digestion. It's remarkable in that
respect. Poi is sold here in differing levels of fermentation and the
taste will change considerably over a few days. The tourists get the
fresh stuff but the locals like it a few days old. I don't care for poi
but I'm guessing that if I live to be an old dude, I'll appreciate it's,
blandness, nutritional values and easy digestive qualities.
