Apologies for the good ikea plate, but I was afraid the proper paper plate would collapse under the weight of turkey and green bean casserole stuffed potato

Had leftover chili and not enough Fritos, so Frito and Cheeto pie.  Alas no jalapeños either but it still slammed.

No paper or styrofoam bowls either.  If it’s any consolation I was in a mobile home/deer camp when I ate it.

I love it when this thread inspires me.

Rough day. Had to road trip to a small town for court. A little goodness to make the day end better.

Your rough day was billing a client $1000 an hour for eating fried chicken while driving in Texas long enough to complain about it on a message board?

Pobrecita!!

Thread appropriate?  Not even close.

Hunger inducing?  For a guy that grew up where Chicken E and it's predecessor, Golden Fried Chicken started (Mineral Wells), you better believe it!

My friend....gizzards are a foundational food for this thread.   All innards belong here.  Perhaps you thought these were dainty and ladylike tenders.  Such items do not belong here, and indeed, morally offend me at times.

Edited by Brisketexan

Those are honestly the tastiest looking gizzards I have ever seen.  Tasty enough to try them?

 

Honestly, probably.  They look amazing.

 

Yes, innards are a fixture, but this thread lives off of the inventions of slapping together who knows what out of the fridge, not fast food bliss.

As the OP of the original Steel Shank thread on Shaggy, which commenced with a photo of my purchase of Pearl beer and pork rinds and a challenge of "Steel Shank, your move," I disagree.  Funky animal parts are always welcome in this discussion.  

Frankly, the overarching theme may well be "would your wife be appalled by what you are eating?  Then post it."

Same thing I thought. For a moment it looked like he was posting chicken strips. Would love to try them with a copious amount of coarse black pepper. 

I'd smash those gizzards.

Tonight we have our annual HoliRide.  A buddy hosts a big potluck in his massive heated garage, and we drink beer and ride pedal bikes around town to look at the Christmas displays.  Point of interest for @Kennythetigeris that my wife has prepared her Dorothy Lynch taco dip.  Will post pics tonight, but damn I can't wait for that.

Ah man. We recently lost our Dorothy Lynch taco salad expert. She was in my dad’s class and they were good friends. I made her taco salad for her funeral dinner but it didn’t come close to hers.

Envy. They might have Shiner Bock and enchiladas but no Dorothy in a bottle.

It is important, nay, imperative that, as men, we take care of our mind and bodies. Our bodies are our temples that require frequent and  proper nourishment.

I’ve had them, but they were called grinders.  Big deal in the south Des Moines Italian community.  Gotta use Graziano Brothers sausage

Am I the only one who doesn't think it looks like the cheese on the pizza slices is even melted?


They’ve made the cheese so shitty over the years it doesn’t brown at all anymore, it’s when I finally stopped buying them. I think it’s when the switched to plastic bags from the boxes with the shitty shrink wrap on the pizza inside the box.

I recently tried them for the first time, and the chicken fry batter on them was great and seemed more flavorful than the tenders or chicken there, but I did have to wait for them to make them fresh so that could’ve been it too. The thing you have to prepare for is how chewy the gizzards are. Some are chewy, some are really chewy. They started to get even chewier as they cooled and I think I finally quit eating them around 6-7 gizzards into the 9. Pulled as much breading off I could and called it a day.

The chewiness of gizzards is how we separate strong men from weak men. It’s okay, nothing to be ashamed of, society has a place for you too.

Your moderation is impressive. 

It's 21 degrees this morning.  At 8:08 a.m. CST, I have made my decision on lunch.  I have some sourdough bread, so a grilled cheese sammich with sharp cheddar and a piping hot mug of tomato soup to dip my sammich in will be in order shortly before noon.

Yeah they were Mikasa stoneware from the 1970s.  Not sure what store sold them but they were prolific.

 

We were to tired to cook the other night, until my wife realized we had ingredients to make chili dogs.
