You’re being offered corn and potatoes; how many more starches do you want?
Fried, please; mashed potatoes (with gravy, if it’s available); whole kernel corn*; warm apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; and a couple of bottles of that IPA sounds delicious, thank you very much.
*(not as desirable as a spoonful of sweet peas, but I can still mix them into the mashed potatoes, so needs must)
Make sure you stir the fruit down thoroughly.
Interestingly, to an Englishman, the immediate response is “Mash and gravy? With fried chicken? Are you mental?!”
After some consideration, he goes on to add “Well…what do you expect from someone who serves apple pie without custard? The correct answer is roast chicken, roast potatoes, gravy. Honestly, bloody colonials…”
Fried, mashed, cob on the grill, a’la mode, and a cold Mountain dew, please!
leaves a tip
hmm,
Fried,
Mashed with plenty of butter, hold the gravy
whole
I’d like to combine drink and dessert if I may please; two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a glass of orange crush soda please.
Huh?
He means that he’s only offering the chicken two different ways, and fried Nashville hot isn’t one of them; and potatoes are available baked, mashed, or some version of fried that is NOT French fries. So if you’re planning on
then he’s presuming that you’ll be eating somewhere other than at his dinner table (the default assumption is at your own dinner table), and expressing his regret that he won’t have the pleasure of serving you the meal he’s prepared to serve.
P.S. What is “fried Nashville hot?”
It’s fried chicken that is basically slathered in a cayenne pepper (and some other spices) grease. Looks like this. It’s delicious if you like spicy hot food, and insanely hot if you get it at a heat level of “hot” or above.
<scuffs toe in the dirt>
Well, I thought a side of mac and cheese with chilies would be pretty good…
Ok, if something like this ever actually happens and I’m present, I’ll provide rolls and the mac and cheese.
ETA: And Nashville hot is basically fried chicken smothered in a very hot, oily sauce. I’ll bring some of that sauce too. MMMMMMMM, hot chicken
fried for me
did you make gravy in the frying pan? if yes, mashed. If no, baked, with sour cream.
you doing corn with potatoes in the same meal? hmm… roast me an ear on the grill and hand me the chili powder, lime juice, mayonnaise, and grated parmesan cheese.
I’m too full from the chicken and tater and corn!
No iced tea ? Beer will do fine.
I’m not particularly dommy. On your knees will be sufficient.
Hey, free chicken dinner. I’ll happily submit to any restrictions Czarcasm sets. He’s a damn good cook.
Look, I even brought my own okra and tomatoes to mix into the corn.
Broiled.
Baked, with butter, sour cream, chives, and if I’m really lucky, cheddar cheese and/or bacon bits.
On the Cobb, roasted, with butter.
Apple pie, yum.
Dry white wine, I’m not picky. And water too, please.
Haven’t had it, but I’m sure it’d be just fine… Looks good from the rating sites.
Fried. But either works for me. I am to chicken what Forrest Gump’s buddy was to shrimp.
Fried potatoes. Microwave until done, then cut and fry with margarine, onions, butter, salt, and pepper.
Boiled corn on the cob with lots of butter.
Apple pie with vanilla ice cream on the side.
You can have apple pie, French vanilla ice cream or double up with a la mode.
Diet Coke.
Fried
Mashed (especially if there’s gravy on offer)
On the cob, boiled, with butter and salt
Depends on the pie - I like my apple pie more tart than average, so if this is one of those sickly sweet offerings that most stores sell I’ll take a little ice cream; otherwise, pie please sans mode.
Beer - that porter you mentioned sounds quite nice, but Grolsch or Becks will do. Any attempt to serve me any form of Budweiser will be considered a personal insult.
Fried
Baked, bit of butter
Cob, grilled (butter black pepper chile dashes of cayenne
Ice cream
I was going to say Diet Coke but with this menu that seems silly, a nice cold IPA then
And I would consider any attempt to ask for such to be a personal insult.
Omigosh, I can’t recall the last time I had grilled corn on the cob. Dang that sounds good.
Fried chicken please. Or if you’re feeling brave, pressure fried.
Baked potato please.
Corn grilled on the cob. Definitely.
Apple pie a la mode
And a coke-a-cola with extra ice. And could I also have a glass of water, please?
