Do you? If so, what and where are your favorites? What’s your favorite order? I like a nice country fried steak, fried okra with Crystal sauce drizzled on top, mac n/ cheese and turnip greens with about three shakes of Texas Pete’s pepper sauce. And yes, I’ll have a biscuit with butter and some sweet-tea. For desert – the blackberry cobler with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream looks good. Could be at Carver’s on Marrietta St. or the Silver Skillet on 14th, maybe Ace’s down in sweet Auburn. Durn, I’m hungry now. ---

Chicken fried steak with pepper gravy, mashed potatoes [also with the gravy], green beans and some nice pickled beets. Make the tea sweet with splenda, and watermelon for dessert ---

I’ll have the fried chicken, rice with white gravy, turnip greens with pepper sauce, fried okra, cream peas and a slice of tomato. Oh yeah, an a piece of that Jalopeno cornbread. For dessert … let’s see … Another piece of chicken ! 😃 ---

I’m a sucker for good meat loaf, myself. With that sweet ketchup-glazed crust, and plenty of onions and peppers baked into it. I’d love some macaroni and cheese (or perhaps macaroni salad), collard greens, and fried okra with it. Sweet tea with extra lemon, and any fruit cobbler you have for dessert (berry is preferably to apple or cherry), nice and warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top. Or how about liver and onions, with creamy mashed potatoes and the aforementioned fried okra and collard greens? I like that too, yes Sir. ---

A nice piece of fried fish, mac&cheese, green beans and cooked carrots. Either a biscuit or cornbread – whichever you’ve got. _Unsweet_ iced tea to drink and, for dessert: pie. I’m picky about my pie, though – I only like two kinds: hot and cold. ---

I’ll have the chicken cordon bleu, with a side of my mum’s mashed potatoes and green beans, cranberry juice to drink, and for dessert… hot apple cinnamon crumble with vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm, traditional home-style cooking. ---

> [@whole bean](#): > > Would you like a dollop of Duke’s with that 'mater? HEAVENS no chile!! _Blue Plate_, of course ! 😉 Jess: with that fish, you need a good thick slice of red onion. And some home-made tartar sauce. Trust me. ---

Fried fish demand cheese grits. . . . still looking for suggestions. I’ll be in Austin in June, Baltimore in August and lowe Alabama in February. ---

Don’t do the meat, but usually then four: blackeyed peas;fried okrey or tomatoes, with Comeback sauce, greens with sport pepper sauce, mashed taters or squash casserole, depending on season; Cucumber salad or coleslaw in summer; cornbread always, maybe hushpuppies if they look right. Would prefer Trappey’s or Crystal hotsauce, Texas Pete is abyssmal (Didn’t know that til I lived in MS/LA for awhile) ---

I like chicken and rice soup with beets, carrot and raisin salad, and mashed potatoes. Comes with cornbread muffins. Lizard’s Thicket, naturally. Also, all the sweet tea you can drink. (Which is quite a lot of sweet tea.) ---

What about the pig? Will no-one speak for the lowly pig? Since you’re going to be in L.A.(Lower Alabama) soon: Two pork chops fried crispy on the outside and still plenty moist in the middle. Mashed potatos with brown gravy, the kind with the onion circles in it. Corn-on-the-cob dripping with real butter Turnip greens Sweet tea and cornbread For dessert, sweet potato-pecan pie with lots of whipped cream on top Now I need a burp and a good nap… ---

Now, **John Carter** don’t enter into BBQ territory so mildy. Check on the chops; I’ll take one of Little Jimmy’s smoked pork chops with side of his homemade BBQ sauce ; some of Grammy’s german ‘tater sallet; a scoop of baked beans; a bowl of cucumber-n-t’mater sallet and two soft yeast rolls. Oh and a tall glass of lemonade, thank ye’. Hey! don’t forget the paper towels ! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-likes-me-a-meat-an-three/336083.md?page=2)
