I was invited to a company anniversary party for a former co-worker.
He chose a restaurant that I've read many reviews of and it was quite
good. All tables seated 10 and we were a party of 15 and several
minutes later another couple was seated at our table of 5. Food was
served family style with sweet and unsweetened tea, lemonade, and
ice water on the table along with peach preserves and butter.

The dinner started with hot biscuits and cornbread plus milk gravy.
Cole Slaw
Cucumber and tomato salad
Mashed potatoes
Fried apples
Macaroni and cheese
Corn souffle/pudding
Green beans
White beans
Pull pork barbecue
Meatloaf
Fried fish
Fried chicken
Hush puppies
Banana pudding

They also do breakfast and lunch, each starting and ending at a specific
time and I'd love to do their breakfast someday.

pepperoni and kimchi

Can someone please explain to me exactly what "milk gravy" is? Is it
simply bechamel sauce? Or something more complicated?

I gotta tell you, if it's just bechamel sauce, I can't picture eating
it on biscuits.

Look about 2 pages down, under "cream gravy"

Yankees generally don't eat it.

It's a roux based gravy made with sausage or bacon dripping, flour, and milk. You can probably make it with drippings from fried chicken. You could make it with cream but most people probably make it with milk. In a restaurant setting, it's probably made from a powder mix.

No onions and definitely no nutmeg which are usually used in a bechamel
sauce.

Around here the hot biscuits are split open and the gravy is ladled over
them. Rib sticking food and NOT diet vittles.

I had a steak and raw fish. It was rib sticking alright and yes, you can cook a steak in a wok.

You can make it from fried chicken drippings (not deep-fried). Grandma
made milk gravy every time she made fried chicken.

That's a heck of a menu! I baked a skillet of cornbread last night. So
sorry my recipe says to bake it for 25 minutes but I had to let it go
another 5 to get the nice golden crust I prefer.

That's an odd combo for a single sitting. I'd have thought it would be an either or situation.

If the portions are relatively small, why not? A little sushi as an appetizer
followed by some steak.

*DUDE*, what a creepy combination. Just kidding but I would
have eaten the steak and donated the raw fish to the starving
kids in India.

This entire rock is unafraid of raw fish. It doesn't seem to hurt us so we eat a lot of it. Yesterday was a special day so I felt a need to get some. It was just okay.

Beats me if kids in India eat raw fish. What I do know is that the kids in American do. That's rather surprising but it just goes to show that the young people of this country will boldly go where the old folks won't.

Sushi was trendy back in the 90's. The gray-haired Anglos eat sushi, the kids eat poke.

My brother says there's a lot of sushi in Indiana. Sushi chefs were imported from Japan to service the Japanese executives at the Toyota and Subaru plants. He says his sushi chef is Mexican.

Scallop sushi is the best. Salmon sushi's good too.

I find poke is often more food than I want to eat. It has always seemed a
little blah, but maybe that a result of the particular places I've had it,
and the way in which I've customized it. I'd rather have bi bim bap.

About half the sushi chefs in Ann Arbor appear to be Mexican.

Scallop sushi is the best. Salmon sushi's good too.

Yes, raw scallops are quite sweet.

I've eaten raw fish for a long time and never gotten sick from it. But
only in Japanese restaurants, where they know what they're doing. Oh,
and also from supermarkets, but only if it looks fresh.

Sushi isn't raw fish. Sushi is rice dressed with a sugar and vinegar
combination.

It is frequently garnished with a slice of raw fish, but other common
toppings (or fillings if it's rolled up) are cucumber or other vegetables,
various sorts of cooked seafood such as octopus, crab-flavored white fish,
shrimp tempura).

Anything can harm you. Look at Mad Cow Disease or any of a hundred other
food-borne diseases.

A lot of people think a little risk is worth a lot of deliciousness.

And refills of diabetes juice, I assume?

Soft drinks (colas) are not served there. But sweetened as well as
unsweetened tea, lemonade, and water were on the table the entire
time for those wanting to refill their glasses. I did not partake
of the tea as I didn't know how sweet it would be and I didn't want
to fill up on a sugary drink.

I didn't eat any of the peach preserves either. Banana pudding was
not homemade.

Does Bruce assume everyone in the US drinks sugary sweet beverages and
has diabetes?

BTW, I've lived all my adult life in the Southern US and I've never
tasted banana pudding.

My mom used to make it. It was layered with vanilla wafers. My dad liked it.
Nobody else did.

Just like Scotland's famous and delicious seafood, all of which I
eat. Raw oysters, raw salmon sashimi, soused herring, cold smoked
salmon, lox. All of which are uncooked and eaten raw.

Evidently. I guess we can automatically assume EVERYONE in Australia eats

A good homemade, from scratch, banana pudding is a thing of beauty. The one
the restaurant served was not homemade but it didn't stop me from partaking,
just disappointed.

You've stated more than once your mother cannot cook (the apple doesn't fall
from the tree there) so why would I be surprised no one but your dad liked it?
