Something For You To Comment Upon

I just watched the second episode of Feasting On Asphalt, II.

Alton Brown just raved about beef tips in a restaurant in Mississippi that were simmered then baked and then placed with the juice on pancakes. Sounds like the local chicken and waffles, something that just doesn't sound right and that I won't try.

What are you talking about? I don't even get that. Sounds icky.

So, now to the fun stuff: Did I win? Did I win? Tell me! Tell me!

(oooh, is that too enthusiastic?)

*tones it down a notch* "yeah,so, let me know if I won, eh?"

By the way, thanks on the heads up with Groovy lady. Much obliged.

Although I have not had either of the recipes you mentioned, there is a strong tradition of meat and pancakes in international cuisine that I have tried...

Moo Shoo Pork
Filled Crepes

I can only imagine that the recipes you mentioned are similar in nature.

We love that show. I to would never eat the beef tips and pancakes, but husband loves chicken and waffles.

I suppose the tips and pancakes aren't too much different than a savory crepe; but, chicken and waffles, and I understand they put syrup on it, I draw a line.

Chicken and waffles with syrup on it? Never heard of it that way. But waffles with a really yummy chicken gravy type sauce with chunks of chicken and some veggies (onion, celery, carrots maybe, I think) on top of the waffles is a big favorite at many restaurants near here and is supposedly a Penna Dutch Treat. On pancakes though - that just doesn't appeal to me and with beef tips on pancakes, that really turns me off. Crepes may be a pancake variation alright but not as heavy and a slightly different flavor thus making them more acceptable with the Moo Shoo Pork deal in my opinion. Not that I'm a gourmet food person - far from it! You'd know that immediately if you ever dined at some of the items I'm known to place on the table! (Some pretty damned good, some not so, too! LOL)

The syrup doesn't go on the chicken, at least not when husband eats it. But, it is very Southern. He likes it with collard greens, yuck.

Yeah, you lost me at the syrup. Then again, years ago a friend was eating breafast sausage on a biscuit with grape jelly. I thought he'd gone off the deep end. He made me try it.

It were damn good.

Not everything that sounds gross is gross.
