Living in the south is rough

I'll tell ya living in the south is a bit rough, like how is a guy expected to loose some weight when you can't even get gas without having hot bars in your face!

That is why I pay at the pump.

Used to run into that same problem when I was driving truck.

Got to love Vine’s

No shortages there!

Nice looking food!

Do I see whole fried bream?

I think whole fried bream are better tasting than fillet.
Cooked right , the flesh just peals off the bones.

Looks like a great place to be if you're hungry .
Then again, it could hurt you some also.
It all looks like good eats.

Everywhere I stop around here has either brisket tacos or kolaches

Where's the sushi?

Looks like a great selection for a low carb diet!

Ill take some of them Greens,,and a couple of that fried chicken,,and a few of them short ribs.

It's a rough job, but someone has to do it.

I would not want to live in the south, what with them gators, cottonmouths, and hurricanes, but you guys sure know how to eat!

We can get slim jims here...

I agree, but my wife won't eat them like that....doesn't like to deal with the bones. Big deal!
I like to scale, gut, and remove the heads. Fry them just like that. They taste better and you save all the flesh.

Mine as well, in spite of me showing just how easy it is to slide a fork along the bone to peel off the meat.

Just the off chance of a bone is enough for her.

Her mother is worse. Won't eat fried chicken, pork chops or steak that has a bone in it. Personally, I think she is insane.

Is that what that stuff is ? I thought it was all possum parts just prepared differently

LOL,,if they can cook possum parts and make em look like that,,Ill still have some.

You joke but um...welllll... I've seen alot of Yankees eat a lot of stuff at cook out down here they they never would have thought of

Yep- fried things, that's the south I remember.

I do miss fried catfish. Very much.

As far as anything southern prepared, I am my own chef and prepare those southern dishes myself. Right down to my own special cornbread, hushpuppies, grits, and anything else I got from growing up in the deep south .

When I was working in Houston,,I ate a lot of rattlesnake and liked it.I also had some Armadillo Chili,,that I would eat again,,if i was pretty hungry.

If you eat that fried chicken at some of the delis in these convenience store down in these parts you will definitely lose some weight from the runs and will sometimes have to change the bed sheets during the night.

Burritos in those places out here are known as rectum rockets.

I'll just try to find a cafe which is hard to do now because everything is fast food.

I have lived too long.

The missus was born in Chicago and grew up in Iowa but she's of good Alabama and Tennessee stock so hightailed it back home as soon as she could.

More than one of those yankee inlaws have left my house headed north with collards, grits and tea and several pounds heavier. And I have instructions to not be empty handed when I come to visit.

I swear you'd think those yanks ain't never had anything fit to eat.

Well, bless your heart you done been pranked. Rattlesnake yes, but armadillo? There's some things a southerner won't eat, not even a cajun. LOL

Must be a Texas or Florida Man thing, those folks ain't right and southern by geography only.

Rattlesnake is good but if someone is serving dillo I'm headed out the door!

... fighting words right there Warrior... East Texas on a straight line to the right is exactly the same as sw ar, north la, ms and al... only with slightly less meth and more mescins lol

... good lookin eatin house Wolf !

Well, I'll accept the pineywoods as that whole area was settled by folks from due east. But that dry stuff west of you ain't quite right, they think beef is bbq.

Good folks mind you, just different. About like them Cajuns, different but we like having them around.

Hey we BBQ everything here and just an FYI pulling pork and dousing it in veneger gives BBQ a bad name

You should share some of that stuff with us northern boys

Agreed, straight vinegar ain't bbq. Gotta mix in some red stuff and something sweet and a hot pepper or two or three.

... agreed .. just sounds like somethin that shouldn’t be said in decent company lol

... and as for you Lefty ... I’d call your Kansas (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) on stolen valor if it weren’t for your rodeo accolades lol

For the life of me I don't know how all that pulling and vinegar got so popular seeing as how its a Carolina thing and nothing but trouble comes out of the Carolinas.

These Georgia folk got to much Carolina influence in their Q. I get Q here that looks like sloppy joes.

Good Q is sliced or chopped.

LOL , too much information.

Tamales used to be popular in the Birmingham area. Some were even sold in those little hot dog carts but many gas stations sold them long before fried chicken. Not canned ones but real ones made by real meskins. There were a few that hung around after coming in to pick cotton way back. But I guess they eventually went native and I haven't seen any in years.

If you don’t want possum, coon, gator, or rattlesnake, then don’t ever go to a wild game supper in the South. You ain’t gonna know what you ate until you’re done. One ole boy went to town on some BBQ and was talking about this guy should open a restaurant…until he was told it was coon meat, lol. He walked over by a tree and emptied his guts. Just goes to show, if somethings cooked right, it taste good no matter what it is!

Heck, there’s always a guy grilling a coon at the High school baseball games. Free to anyone that wants some. And I mean grilling whole…you know exactly what your eating. He’ll even stick an apple in its mouth. He’s never left the game with meat either. You’d be surprised at some of the men in suits stopping by for a sandwich.

... ain’t nothin free wannabe.. what kind of racket y’all runnin over there ?

Coon prepared right is fine eating. Opossum on the other hand I'm not so sure that there is a right way.

.

Can’t sell wild game here…but you can barter, lol.

Blake fella.. might have crossed the line there... but who knows these days

.. yessir... born last... but not last night lol

How long ya give him?

Correct, Savell. This sounds like a kid, and a new one here at that. If he runs with enough rope , he will gain fast observance from the Executioner …

... those kind just come in here trying to get a reaction out of people... and he did a decent job of it so far lol

Once they figure em out, not the kind of reaction they want

Yes ma’am Ms Sharon... young folks don’t know how to stop just short of the line anymore lol

... hope you have a good night ... I will, but probably going to be another bad morning lol

They’ll learn quick like here…almost as good as being raised with Texas dads and momas …” I ain’t tellin ya twice …”

Turnin in here, have a good one ,Savell, you always have a good morning !

I put Vinegar in the Crock Pot when cooking down my pulled pork.Just a couple tablespoons of it to help break down the meat,,not a "Dousing" of it.

Im making Chicken Fried Steak for supper tonight,,since I live on the SOUTHERN end of Lake Ontario.

It can get ruff livin up here too when the school girls come to your door selling these things for a fund raiser!!


Genuine Amish made whooped pies!

But, can you get a good Haddock Fish fry, with real homemade German Potato Salad ; in the South ?

They think Catfishes is Haddock.Dont tell them any different.

Catfish, crappie, shrimp, oysters, mullet, red snapper.....

Who needs haddock?

BTW, we even got walleye, sauger and trout in some areas.

You can keep the nasty tater salad but I do dearly miss Haddock fish fries. Catfish is just nasty.

What! You do know your southern card has one of those little probationary stars on it.

LOL

German potato salad is good. It's got bacon in it, that alone makes it good.

Dang what did I miss ?
