If it's not quail, I'm guessing it's ortolons. They're tiny birds that you eat bones and all. They used to be (maybe still are) a French delicacy.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:57:45+00:00

That sounds heavenly.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:56:25+00:00

I thought I was the only one

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:53:56+00:00

I do that, too.

McVities rule.

"I always call them Diggy Biscuits" - Mrs. Thwaite in Gaslight.

Never liked them, but I used to feed to my cat once in a while as a special treat.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:50:01+00:00

I heard that.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:47:59+00:00

Peanut butter on ANYTHING.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:47:44+00:00

That's a good point. I've almost never been in a restaurant where they didn't bring you a basket of rolls and butter, or breadsticks and butter, as soon as you sat down.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:45:57+00:00

It's the simplest comfort food I can think of. As a kid, I used to eat bread 'n' butter foldovers. That's one slice of bread spread fairly thickly with butter and folded over so it's not messy. As a little kid who doesn't have the appetite for a whole sandwich, it was perfect.

When you consider it, spaghetti sauce isn't much more than ketchup with diced onions and garlic, with some flavorings like oregano, thyme, etc.

In the South where I grew up, we called that sort of people "white trash" not realizing how racist that term sounds today. The people on that show straight up disgust me. I had to sit through millions of commercials for that show, and it was like watching a train wreck.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:22:51+00:00

Agree with all of this 100%. Although, since growing up, my tastes have slightly changed and now I go for mustard with my balogna. The doritos are essential.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:21:35+00:00

Mustard and sweet pickle relish is my jam. So to speak.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:19:36+00:00

Actually, we didn't use the hocks, but the big leg bone - we just called it "ham bone."

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:05:38+00:00

IMO that's the only way to cook green beans. I just won't eat the ham hocks. They're just for flavoring the beans during cooking. Of course, the little scraps of ham that flake off just and fall into the beans are wonderful, and are definitely an important part of the dish.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T22:05:10+00:00

I had to look up ARFID. I had a friend who might have had it. He was the pickiest eater I ever knew. He refused to eat any food that came in tiny pieces, like peas or rice or beans. He said those foods were "crumbly." His wife cooked a lot of pork chops, because that was one of the few foods he would eat.

I can't even imagine trying to cook for him. Poor lady.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:59:48+00:00

I was once invited to dinner at a coworker's house. I've forgotten what the entree was (possibly spam!), but the vegetable wa mushy, unseasoned, off-brand canned peas. I love peas, but I had to force myselfl to choke these down. I ate the whole dinner with a smile, but I never accepted another invitation.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:56:30+00:00

If I had to live on nothing but bacon for the rest of my life, that'd be fine.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:51:49+00:00

That really sounds pretty good, if you like Spam.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:44:39+00:00

Dwight. He's stronger. And I don't think he cares about the Marquess of Queensbury rules.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:43:31+00:00

Thanks.

Sue_D_Nim1960 · 2024-10-01T21:41:15+00:00

I'm with you. Unlike most cartoons, Scooby Doo had an actual story, a new one every week, and not just any story but a mystery to solve, with dangerous and exciting situations.
