Fried chicken hearts
rutabagas
pole beans
watermelon-rind pickles
and if you’re making another pone of conrnbread, could you toss some of those pork cracklins in?
In the Sticky Chicken Recipie he says
What the hell is Essence? Is it a off-the-shelf seasoning or what?
And Susie Derkins, are those fingerling catfish with cheese grits? Oh yeah. That’s some great eatin’ there!
Can I change my order?
It’s Emeril’s house seasoning. It’s also the name of one of his shows on the Food Network. “Emeril Essence Recipe”. You can also buy it at stores.
Thank you both. I started to ask for experiances but it smacks of a highjack so it’ll have to just be… thanks.
Liberal, this is one fine thread and I don’t want to hijack it or even start up another that references it as a starting point, but I see so many “additional items” beyond your original menu that I would love to see another thread devoted to “unusual” items seen on a Meat And Three list. Places like Cracker Barrel always have some oddities, but those unique Greasy Spoons and Gag’n’Puke places often have things that no other joint would even consider serving, some of which are out of this world.
None are hopping to mind at the moment, but I bet they would if a thread asked for them.
Again, I love this thread!
Oh sure, there are lots of great foods not listed in the OP. Think of it as the daily specials! 
Feel free to order what you like. If we don’t have it, we’ll cook it!
I won’t get involved in the Country Fried vs Chicken Fried controversy. We’re laid back here. Our staff will understand you either way you put it.
(To Veuve_ClicquotNJ: Yes, sawmill gravy is the white milk gravy.)
I got a hankerin’ to go down to the local meat ‘n three now. I even brought lunch with me to work, but dangit! Liberal done got me wantin’ some real food!
urk
Today’s plate…
Fried chicken. Dark meat, please.
Creamed potatoes
Fried squash
Stewed tomatoes
Rolls and butter
Tea and for God’s sakes, leave the pitcher!
Half a slice of chocolate meringue pie and a serving-spoonful of banana pudding.
I am gaining weight just thinking about this.

There’s a little hole in the wall place down the road a piece from me called “Southern Recipe” which has meat ‘n three. Originally the resturant looks like it was a Hardees. They have the patio and a drive-thru window they don’t use. They have a very large variety of meats and sides, mayhaps I’ll nip on down there for lunch and pick up one of their menus and transcribe it. Seein’ as how I’m in Texas they’ve got a good amount of Tex-Mex on the menu. A chicken chimichanga with pinto beans 'n pork, glazed baby carrots, Spanish rice, with a cup of broccoli cheese soup, chased with apple cobbler and sweet tea. Sounds good to me.
Enjoy,
Steven
Daaaaaaaaaaaaay-ummmmmmmmmm! How bout picking up an order for me too please. Hey, it’s Shrove Tuesday and I’m stocking up for a long Lent.

Round two:
Chicken-Fried Steak
Speckled Butterbeans (someone here referred to them as “butterpeas”… never heard that before… also I think you might have meant “crowder” peas rather than “chowder” peas…I loves me some field peas, too…and purplehull peas are just a type of blackeyed pea, I think…anyway…)
Fried Okra
Collards (with Trappey’s Pepper Sauce, or homemade)
Cornbread ( a small skillet will do)
Lemon Meringue Pie
Tea
Snaps with your field peas, honey?
What? No mac and cheese??
Then for me it’s
Fried Chicken
Green Beans
Fried Squash
Creamed Corn
Cornbread
Banana Pudding
Tea
You mean people don’t eat like this every day?
Oh, heck yeah…but no stems or strings if you can help it…
