If you are choosing which to eat once a day for the rest of your life, this is an important question. For an occasional treat...what the heck? Eat the one you like best! Now...if this is an argument that someone wants to win, that's a different kettle of fish.
BTW, my mother is the best southern cook you will ever run across and she has not used lard in more than 40 years. She cooks with only canola oil. You CAN be southern, eat well and be healthy! :-) |
There are entire websites about food. What clog up a travel website with innane threads about recipes and food where there's no clear travel connection. The innane thread regulars are showing up in all the usual places.

MikeT - Since you only post on these types of topics, & complain. Perhaps your 'services' could be better used on another board, since you rarely if ever provide any relevant information. You are obviously unhappy here based on your whining, bitter, complaining comments. Why not do everyone a favor & take it somewhere else. My 16 month old doesn't whine as much as you...& he prefers the dumplings...

I do post about travel issues where I have knowledge. When I want a coffee klatch, I go other places and don't clutter a travel website. A number of other people agree with me, so it's a shame you need to violate the rules of the board.
|
You know, we hear this all the time - and pretty know that rb is going to whine a little bit as we post. But, I really don't see the crime. There's only 1 food thread in the top 50 right now. If you don't like 'em, you can easily skip them.
But, a scan of the names of the posters shows they are regular, helpful posters of travel information on this board. So, if this is our "coffee klatch" or say, water cooler talk, what's the crime? Paid workers get breakers during the day. We are all volunteer contributors here. If you still get your "panties in a wad" over us yakking about food, just tell yourself we're on break time. :-) Who is bringing the donuts? |
That should be "breaks"...

What the heck is so hard to understand? I don't know if it's feigned or true ignorance.
This is Fodors <b>TRAVEL</b> talk. Travel! What is so hard to understand about that? MikeT told it like it is. There are MANY forums available to discuss food. Use them. Simple as that. I too like food, and I go to those boards for food, as I (used to) visit this forum for travel. Lately there's a proliferation of koffee klatch threads, and even when a thread does start about travel it gets hijacked into idle off-topic discussion. I'll bet the violators are the same ones who think other rules don't apply to them: "Wait to be seated" "No Parking" "10 Items or less" "Please be quiet during the performance" Actually, that list one suits the situation here pretty well. The "performance" one would expect here is travel. No dog-names, picky eaters, or motor oil. I asked on another thread before some whiner asked Fodors to delete my posts, Didn't a bunch of Fodor malcontents already start a discussion group where they could klatch without rules? Stay off the ballfield unless you want to play ball. The monkey bars are located elsewhere. |
Oh Good Grief!
Let's see how many time the complainers will top this one before they give up. It would probably already be on page 2 and forgotten if they had kept their little fingers off the keyboard. |

If you fine the complaining so frustrating, aileen, why did you find the need to chime in and toss in your two cents?
It's about order and following rules. New people who come to travel website don't want to read about people talkign about what great parents they are bacause their two year old eats sushi and they don't want to read about 100 ways to cook fried chicken. |
Yikes!
|
Disagreement and rule breaking is good for the soul....
as Mark Twain said... "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect." BTW We had the chicken and dumplings. It was good. :-! |
MikeT: Well if you want travel related, as a child we would TRAVEL to grandma's ( it was a different town ) and she would often cook fried chicken (probably in Lard, but I don't use the stuff, thank you very much!)
OR she would prepare some delicious chicken and dumpl'lins. Actually tried to help her wring a chicken's neck once, but I didn't have the necessary strength to whirl the sucker around properly.((A)) |
See Mike, I knew you couldn't resist peeking and posting something to bring it back to the top.
Homemade chicken and dumplings and fried chicken are two of the staple foods on the buffet of two of the places that travel guides always mention as places to eat in my touristy home town. There! that makes it travel related. |
Sounds like <i>somebody</i> needs a laxative. @-)
|
Make that <i>two</i> somebodies. Try Karo syrup; it's the remedy to use when you're TRAVELLING in the South!.
|
Also used to sop biscuits in as an informal "dessert" after supper.
|
Well to keep this travel related I had an aunt by marriage who was born and raised in Lincoln Nebraska. She lived in the SF/Bay Area after getting married to my uncle.
I use to "travel" to her house almost every week. Her fried chicken, her chicken and dumplings, her macaroni salad, her apple pies, her waffles and bacon, with Karo Syrup were all fantastic. Oh, so were here mashed potatoes and gravy. Yep, certainly worth "travelling" through the SF/Bay Area to get to her house and eat her fantastic homecooked meals, lol. |
Please, come to Portland Oregon where a new restaurant called Screen Door has opened.
Fried chicken, shrimp and grits, biscuits and gravy.. and probably chicken and dumplings. I think Chicken & Dumplings have about 350 calories and Fried Chicken has about 375.. |
