we used to go to an all-you-can-eat fish fry place on
Friday nights. one thing i always liked the most wasn't
the fish as much as the cole slaw that i would put on
the large steak fries they had.

are there other combinations of foods that you wouldn't
consider normal that you like?

What is not normal about coleslaw with fish and chips. It's a pretty
standard combination around here.

Coleslaw ON the chips? That is a little unusual.

that's what i think because i rarely saw anyone
else doing it.

i consider it on the same line as dunking your
fries in your chocolate shake or having toast and
hot chocolate and dunking the toast. all things
i do too...

I'm not much of a dunker, except for soaking Oreos in milk
until they're soft. Haven't had Oreos in years, though.

Probably the oddest thing I do is put potato chips on
sloppy joes or tuna salad sandwiches. But it's rare that
I have chips on hand.

Buffalo chicken wraps.
Tortillas. Boneless thighs, cooked in pieces. Wrap with coleslaw, blue cheese, hot sauce,
Egg edges on a flour tort and wrap this up. Oven for big but use the small wraps like an eggroll and deepfry.
The slaw makes it.

I sometimes put potato chips on my hamburgers. Not if I'm also having
fries, though.

Thanks for mentioning sloppy joes. I've got some cheap white burger
buns in the freezer that are now crying out for sloppy joes.

It may seem an odd way to eat coleslaw, but it is not an odd combination
of foods.

To my dad cole slaw was an entree, in fact it was the main event of a
meal... anything cabbage he'd not sleep until he ate the last bit...
especially kraut... he was definitely a cabbage soup addict.

I keep hearing that but my limited understanding of pulled pork
sandwiches is that they are often served that way. FWIW, I polished off
some pulled pork for lunch today and had coleslaw on it. It was delicious.

I don't often have french fries and tend to have them only if they are
especially good. IMO, all good fries need is a bit of salt... sprinkled
on the fries within seconds of coming out of the fryer. They are also
great with gravy. A lot of people here have them with vinegar or
ketchup (yech).

Some folks find pulled pork with coleslaw in a sandwich to be disgusting. Beats me why that is. It all seems so harmless to me.

Or dunked in a chocolate shake as songbird suggested. It breaks my
heart. Yesterday, we had In-N-Out burgers. I had a double double with
cheese, onion and pickles, fries and a chocolate shake. I squirted
ketchup on the fries. What an idiot!
Fries dipped in a chocolate shake is a taste from my youth that I
cherish and I blew it. I won't make that mistake again.

You must go back to In-N-Out and make right what was wrong.

I saw my son and his family eat fries and soft serve. That was a bit shocking. I don't think I'm ready for the big leagues yet i.e., fries and chocolate shake but I may be able to handle fries and vanilla soft-serve.

My granddaughter has a book about eating foods one does not care for. It's called "Pete the Cat: Three Bite Rule." I haven't had the time to read it yet but my assumption is that the idea is that you give foods three chances to change your mind. It's a very wise policy!

I never understood coleslaw *on* a pulled pork sandwich. If I want
coleslaw it should be on the side. I feel the same way about BBQ sauce.
Please don't drench pulled pork in sauce. Let me put as much or as
little as I want on it.

I have mentioned my dislike of vinegar elsewhere, but I love the little pots
of lime pickle I get in Indian restaurants.

I will dip any item from the menu in that.

Garlic pickle, Indian or otherwise, sounds very interesting.

many years ago i was introduced to it by my
then gf who loved it. a name brand called
Pataks had it and it was about $4/jar. as we
could both eat it straight from the jar that
didn't last very long.

years later, thinking fondly of her (we're still
friends ), i wanted to see if i could recreate
that pickle and eventually i did. at least i came
close enough for my tastes.

i have the file here so i'll just add it:

Subject: recap, (India) garlic pickle
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 17:11:53 -0400

i came across some jars of this the other day.
completely forgot about them and they were in my
closet.

it's actually still very good.

i've eaten 2/3rds of a jar of this the past
few days. primary ingredient is indeed garlic.
no vampires to worry about around here.

i found a few after much searching, but
none had all of the same ingredients listed.

anyways, i adapted from one that i
found and it seems to have turned out
well enough.

i'll give it a few weeks to age
and then see.

this is the recipe i started with and
then added on.

my additions, i added onion and
the juice of one lemon and lime instead
of just the lemon. plus some coriander,
red chili pepper flakes, green chili
paste (not too much, but enough to
get another dimension to the heat),
cardamom, pineapple pieces, chopped
dates, golden raisins,

all of the fruit was simmered for
a while and then i added the dry
spices to that to get them hydrated.

my method went differently too.
i first did the mustard and fenugreek
in the pan and then ground them before
frying the garlic. i set the garlic
aside once golden and fried the onions
to caramelize them a little, then put
them with the garlic until the rest of
the mix was ready, then i added the
garlic and onions back to the spice
and fruit mix and adjusted salt and
sugar to taste before filling the jars
and canning them.

People over here eat a bunch of stuff that most Americans wouldn't think of putting together nor would they thinking of eating. Ketchup and eggs, shoyu and rice, Spam on top of rice, taro leaves with octopus, taro leaves with canned corn beef, green banana with stew, pancakes with coconut syrup, etc, etc, etc.

Your best bet is to eat a Spam musubi while traveling. It tastes better after a long trip on the road. You can stop and enjoy the sights while partaking. If the weather's bad, you can eat it in the car.

It is true that, for hundreds of years, a musubi always tastes better when you're hungry and weary from traveling and in need of a small respite. You can find Spam musubi and variations in all 7-11s in Hawaii. It's all so very perfect. Thank you, Jesus!

I made some chicken fried pork chops yesterday. The pork was butterflied and then I pounded the shit out of those things with the back of a cleaver. The pork was then dredged in flour and then beaten eggs and then flour again.. This produced the most tender pork chop ever.

The flour had some kim chee powder mixed in. It gave the pork an odd yellowish cast. The kim chee powder is kind of dangerous. I have to hold my breath when handling the stuff. The whole time the bag was open I didn't dare breath. When I did breath, it was at a distance by the door. It still caused me to choke and cough. As it goes, the stuff is too dangerous in powder form. To be used safely, it's going to have to be dissolved into a liquid. The world's most dangerous food?

Most Americans? dsi1 forgets Hawaii is a US State. Ketchup on eggs is
not a Hawaiian thing. Ditto shoyu (soy sauce) on rice. Spam is made in
Minnesota. All of these things are commonly eaten on the mainland.
Taro, not so much but then it isn't grown on the mainland. Not because
we can't, simply because it's not particularly tasty. Most of us don't
eat poi so there is no need to grow taro or harvest the roots or use the
leaves. The Hispanics in my area cook with green bananas and use the
leaves to wrap and steam tamales.

Most Americans eat rice and pour shoyu on it? Coleslaw and pulled pork together in a sandwich is not a thing in the US? This sounds like commie spetz propaganda if you ask me.

You have to add 'most' there? No, but there are plenty in Hawaii who
eat rice plain or with another sauce.

Coleslaw on the side of a pulled pork sandwich is more average here.

We also do indeed grow some taro, though not the volume you have there.

Actually we do grow Taro types here if there is a local market. VB
grows a few types as I've gotten 'local grown' here. It's not a major
market but I see 'small taro, local grown' in several places. Small
Taro to me is eddo (japanese name).

Lots of people over here eat ketchup on eggs. I did so myself, until I
went to college. I stopped putting ketchup on my eggs so the rich kids
wouldn't think I was a rube.
