I used to say num-num to my babies too. I'd never heard "nom-nom"
before Pandora came to rfc, so I assumed it's Italian. Ophelia has

It's actually not bad... IMO, of course. I don't mind if my bacon and
especially sausages touch (real) maple syrup, and it's the same with
fried chicken. It was a whole lot better than I thought it would be
and now I'm just trying to find "the ultimate" among restaurants that
are still in business. I do know that I'm looking for cornmeal
waffles to go with my fried chicken... and *real* maple syrup.
Restaurants get all fancy with their house made this or that syrup,
which I try - but it's always a disappointment for me.

Oh? I am quite certain that my opinion of it has had absolutely nothing
to do with the fact of its growing popularity. I have never tried it and
I have no interest in trying it. I think gravy on fries is a great
thing, but I rarely eat it because it is way too much fat to be eating.
Adding cheese curds just makes it that much worse. Never the less,
poutine sales are increasing at a steady rate.

I do prefer to eat them separately. A nicely grilled lobster tail is
enough for one meal. Don't need a steak to go with it. A nicely
grilled or pan seared steak is also nice. Don't need a lobster tail to
go with it.

I much prefer crab legs as the "turf".

I never thought of waffles as a meal on their own. They are more of a
filler for some other meal, like bacon and eggs. I have had waffles only
for a meal, and I walked away thinking it simply was not a meal.

I'd like to try poutine if I ever came across it somewhere. Never
heard of it being offered in Aus though.

Just asking. You said honey on fried chicken. I cannot imagine honey
on fried chicken. Not even in a small amount. Obviously YMMV

I would too, or failing that, some prawns.
I like lobster, but in small doses.

You could be right about this. I saw an item called a "Hapa Rock" in a restaurant. I was informed that this was a laulau with beef stew over it. That could be a winner or a fail. I guess I just have to try it.

I made laulaus yesterday. It's pork and maybe some fish wrapped in taro leaves and steamed.

We have waffles at least once a month and pancakes about the same. It
depends on who is making them. I prefer to make pancakes while my wife
prefers to make waffles. I had a waffle in a place in California last
fall and it was more like a dessert, the batter loaded with sugar, and
served with a horrible syrup. They aren't that hard to make, so I don't
know why more places don't offer decent waffles. However, I rarely order
pancakes in a restaurant because they are usually a major disappointment
too. It is puzzling that even specialty restaurants do such a bad job
on the the things they specialize in.

I know a couple of places that make a pretty good waffle. Unfortunately, even if you do get a pretty good waffle, it's lifespan is measured in minutes.. I make a pretty good waffle. I'd like to have some but it requires that I mix up the batter the night before. I'll have to settle for a Dutch baby instead.

Why the night before? The recipes I use call for separating the eggs,
beating the yolks and adding them to the wet and then whipping the
whites and folding them into the mixed batter. I plug in the iron and
it's hot by the time the batter is done and I cook them immediately.

OK...we certainly differ there. I make a point to get syrup on my
bacon. I love the taste combo.

I saw a demo of a waffle maker today. They made cornmeal waffles with
cheese and peppers (just your regular corn bread batter) The waffles
were served with a chili sauce on top with a side of fried chicken.

As I said in another post, my son made a point of stopping at place in
NY state that was famous for its chicken waffles despite me suggesting
it sounded less than appealing. He went anyway and then regretted it,
finding it a major disappointment.

These are yeast-raised waffles. They come out light and crispy. Beats me why they do. My guess is that most people that make these things don't go back to regular waffles.

There are at least 5 places close to me, one open 24 hours, so I could if I
wanted to. I do like the combination very much.

I tried Waffle House once and was not impressed with it enough to
return. Everything they put on the plate was too sweet and there was
absolutely nothing about the texture of the waffle to even hint that
they used a cast iron waffle iron.

Did they pass out samples? I don't mess around with cornmeal waffles

Steak and lobster has been around for so long, I don't even order it
in restaurant anymore. It's a home meal for me... and it's not
something I do very often since hubby's gout started - but we did look
at the lobster tails yesterday and made some noises about buying it
until he remembered that he can't eat it anymore. LOL

What he can do with no repercussions is have one shrimp/scallop/bite
of lobster or crab, so I should do that the next time rib eye goes on
sale and he won't feel like he's missing out.

I like Béarnaise sauce with beef if somebody else makes it. Hubby
wants his meat with no sauce other than a beef gravy with lots of
mushrooms in it if it's a beef roast and don't mess with his steak.

Fish is fine, as is red meat (in moderation).

Sorry if they aren't the same out on the left coast. The Waffle House
franchises (that makes a difference) I've been to here in the southern
US, you can see them cooking right in front of you. They definitely use
cast iron waffle irons. The eggs are cooked to order on a griddle right
in front of you, too. Ditto bacon, sausage, etc.

Yep, everything at the franchise Waffle House restaurants
are cooked in front of you. That chain has been a welcome
sight many times on late night/early morning driving trips.

that's good, my friend has trouble with his gout with salmon and crab.

There's no such thing here. I was in the South.

Repeat: they were nothing out of the ordinary and way too sweet. We
sat in a booth, watching someone make breakfast isn't high on the to
do list. Give me good coffee (another meh) and live up to your
reputation. That's all I ask.

That's the thing, personal triggers are different and it's often the
things they love the most. I wonder if your friend ate a lot of
salmon and crab? Lucky him if he can still eat scallops and prawns!
I mentioned experimenting to hubby and he didn't turn me down, but he
did say "It could be painful". Sharing a restaurant order with him is
probably the best idea. He does eat one scallop or prawn and so far,
so good. I should encourage him to try two next time.
