We don't eat much fast food but I think they are one of the better fast food places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, that's how it felt when I was in one, like it was never going to end. I want three things when I take a break from driving - cheap gas, clean bathroom, cold Diet Pepsi. Everything else is just in the way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Brain Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Y'all can name all the burger joints you want to, but a place in not totally civilized until there's a Waffle House at every exit. At least, that's what I opine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got wonderful classical music, beautiful fall colors, and some great reenactment battlefields (like Saratoga, been there, reenacted that) and lots of history, as the Atlantic seaboard was where some of the first european settlements were made. We've got some epic birds too! Anyone else care to chip in? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I would say the only somewhat local fast food chain were proud of out here in California is In-n-Out. It's decent for fast food, but you need to know how to customize your burger from the secret menu to make it good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of a Whataburger, though apparently there are some locations in AZ. Another question: Why are hamburgers called hamburgers if they don't have ham in it?? Which is exactly why I've never eaten a hamburger before. I understand Whataburger carries a cult status similar to In-N-Out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a Vermont soft serve ice cream and maple is one of the well known flavors (of course!). It's not that special, in my non-foodie opinion. But I do think it's cool that there are creemee stands even along rural roads next to farms. Ahh...eating ice cream while smelling cow poop... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitch'erse'f (Get yourself) a box of Nilla Wafers, three or four bananas, a box of instant vanilla pudding (NOT banana flavor pudding!), and 2 cups whole milk (or Carnation!). In a long low Tupperware (you do have Tupperware, right? Sigh. Okay, use a casserole dish.), arrange a layer of wafers over the bottom and around the sides. Slice the bananas about 1/4-inch thick (we don't use metric measurements in The South) and put a layer of them over the wafers. Combine the mix and milk according to package directions, then apply half of it over the cookies and banana slices. Repeat with another layer of cookies, bananas, and pudding. Give it a few gentle jostles so the pudding begins to seep between the cookies and bananas. Toss the container in the ice box (what some of y'all call a 'refrigerator') for several hours or until it's time to drive to the reunion. Do NOT leave it in the car by accident, or cousins Sam and Ella will drop by. If Aunt Ruby was feeling fancy, she'd add a layer of Cool Whip (not whipped cream). We don't discuss adding liquor to the pudding, at least not in front of the young'uns. Tune in next week, kids, when we'll make every diabetic's favorite, Sweet Potato Casserole (OH MY GAWD).

My long line of Southern grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, etc. would be spinning in their graves if I used store-bought instant pudding or Cool Whip. Real Southern banana pudding is made with home-made vanilla custard and topped with real meringue (from raw egg whites, not that safe, pasteurized, store-bought egg-whites-in-a-carton stuff) and toasted quickly & lightly. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
