Broiled, mashed, whole, ice cream (because no way does your apple pie compare to mine) beer (although I’d encourage absinthe–anethole really pairs well with chicken without overpowering it) But now I’m tempted to experiment with a potato/corn breading for fried chicken. ---

Gimme some extra crispy (can I do that?) fried mashed taters whole corn please, and don’t be shy on the butter! No apple pie as I’m not a fan, do you happen to have cherry?

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Sorry about the pie, and putting barbecue sauce on unhusked corn seems silly to me, but sure. Barbecued wasn’t supposed to mean with sauce. It just means from the grill, browned. You use lime for the condiment. It’s a tradition from India. I was never an apple pie person. ---

Fried chicken, french fries (thick cut or waffle, please), boiled on the cob… French vanilla ice cream, I guess, but could I actually have normal vanilla _in_ the root beer instead? Floats, yummy… ---

I’m easy with the menu, since it’s the only meal I’ll be eating today (and maybe tomorrow, too!). Fried, thigh and leg if you have it, with mashed and homemade cream gravy if available. If no gravy, then baked with butter, salt and pepper. Whole corn not on the cob, 'coz I like to mix it in with the mashed. Roasted on the cob if no gravy. Double up, apple pie a la mode. A nice glass of sauvignon blanc to cut through all the heavy, buttery flavors. Coffee with dessert would have been nice, but I’ll manage. Hey, thanks! What are the rules about tipping around here? ---
