Why someone thinks "num-num" is only fer Turkish children, "is a puzzlement".

I'd say most any parents of an infant/newborn use "num-num" as a "baby
talk" fer "yum-yum". I know my ex and I both used "num-num" with our
baby daughter. We're both CA-born "whitey's" with zero affiliation to
any Islamic culture. I don't even speak whichever language births
"nom-nom". 8|

Ah, well I still don't want fried chicken and waffles in one
meal. Any time I've seen it on tv, they layer it, which
presents all kind of logistical problems to me.

Not that I'd ever order it.

Nothing to do with baby talk, though I'm not crazy about that,

C'mon what? I never heard of chicken and waffles until about a year
ago. It is not something I have even seen on a menu here. It is rare
enough to even find real waffles on a menu.

Something like that could be on the menu for Father's Day brunch.

Thank you Nancy, but I can defend myself.

Specially against a long-ago KF'd person, like sf. If she's not as big a
troll as The Bove, it's only cuz she actually IS The Bove.

No, not really. The Bove actually has a functioning brain organ,
which, unfortunately, seems to be aimed at successfully poking a stick
at all of rfc. sf has never been so clever. She merely offends.

I don't mind if a bit of the syrup gets onto the bacon. Eggs can mix
with the bacon, or with the biscuits or muffins, but I do not,
definitely do not want maple syrup in with my eggs.

I can agree on that, but I have had honey on fried chicken, and that was
okay.

Hey, come on! He drove through there once so he obviously knows all

My paternal grandmother was German. She grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch
country. It was hearty fare. But, back on topic, she never made
chicken & waffles. She did make some really good chicken, though.

That I know. Just saying, it's hard enough to argue if something
is good or not, certainly we have the right to say it doesn't
*sound* good. Right or wrong.

Correct, I know I wouldn`t like it, I suppose if a friend served it
and I had no other option I would try hard to not let on. I`d have to
tackle the chicken first, then turn to the waffle but a waffle is a
challenge quantity-wise by itself, so thank god my friends have more
sense

When was the last time you had a good waffle in a restaurant? Most of
them cannot even make decent pancakes.

Only in tourist areas. The more popular and much cheaper breakfast
diners seem not to offer waffles. Most restaurants make really crappy
pancakes, so I don't expect much from their waffles.

Shel, my mom's Shoofly Pie was really good...but too sugary and rich
for anything but the tiniest sliver. I certainly wouldn't call it an abomination.
Maybe tourist trap pies are different.

When chicken skin ain't CRISP it's raw... it's NEVER crisp under
breading. Mayhaps you like chewing something the texture of low tide

It doesn't sound good to me, either. I like the occasional waffle. I

Waffles are breakfast food... I'd never want chicken for breakfast.
My favorite breakfast food is cold left over take out fly lice buried
under cold congealed lobster sauce. Left over cold pizza is good
breakfat food too. Now that I think about it I don't like hot food
for breakfast.

At Waffle House. They use old style cast iron heavy waffle irons.

I've never had chicken served with a waffle. I would not be interested
in that combination.

Two separate good meals but combined is a fail.
Same with the old popular "surf and turf" from the 80's.
Another 2 great meals but what a stupid combination.

I could do the chicken and waffles as long as the chicken
is in fried over easy form.

You need to get out more. Waffles are for anytime of the day since there are
many different recipes. Live dangerously and try some new things, maybe stop
asking the cats what they want for dinner and choose for yourself.

I don't consider shoofly pie a pie, it's a confection much like
fudge... reminds me of the cheap fudge sold years ago at NYC penny

Why did I do it or why was it okay? It came with the order of fried
chicken that I had in a restaurant, so I had a little of the honey on
the chicken. It was okay.... only okay... and in a small dose.
