Not exciting, that's for sure. I can sure as hell make a grilled cheese
sandwich with bacon for less than $9.50. I wouldn't serve pulled pork
on a Kaiser roll, either. I don't understand the fascination with
Kaiser rolls.

The soup of the day is split pea with kielbasa. No price listed.

I plan to make smothered pork chops with mashed potatoes and steamed
brussels sprouts for dinner. I certainly wouldn't make that for lunch.

I'd make my grilled cheese at home for pennies on the dollar.
Not a smothered pork chop fan, so I'd probably pick the
pulled pork, which is something I don't make at home.

Of course, there are probably much better places to get
pulled pork.

The chef is probably not the most original, inventive, exciting, cook
around but he probably works for cheap and the food on the menu
maximizes the bottom line. The bottom line usually wins over exciting.
Obviously, the managers of the joint have no pride left in what they're
doing. Their motto is probably "git 'er done!"

Wow! That's an expensive grilled cheese with bacon. I ate lunch at
home and had a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich (no
bacon). There was very little cost and not much work, but it was tasty.

It's poor menu authoring to just say wheat, but that's what it is
often called in conversation. Waitresses will as you if you want
"white, wheat or rye" and unless you're from another planet (or
perhaps another country), you'll know she's talking about sliced bread
vs a roll and that wheat means whole wheat.

I understand. When you're given those choices in a restaurant, it's
usually at breakfast so sliced bread is implied because it's toast.
It's also implied for sandwiches, because they'd specify "roll", if
that was a choice. For instance, they'd call it a Whole Wheat Kaiser
Roll. They don't, so white is implied.

Excellent!
My 'Himself' isn't yet at the point where he can look at what we have in
stock and make something up, but he's very good at following one of my
recipes, and asks a lot of questions about ingredients and technique,
when I make something he particularly likes.

I don't understand the post Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches. I just
want turkey, mayo and lettuce. I don't want cranberry sauce and
dressing. I guess it is just a different view of what a sandwich
should be.

I'm with you.

My post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches are turkey, butter
and lettuce, on white bread (just like when I was a kid).
Even a hot turkey sandwich is just turkey, bread, and
gravy. Then again, I don't put cranberry sauce on my
turkey, ever.

I'm also in the "no slaw on barbecue" camp.

No. If it says whole wheat, it is whole wheat, but whole wheat can be
ground up so fine that the glycemic index is almost as high as white
flour bread.

Did you know that some people construct their after Thanksgiving
sandwiches with stuffing (and whatever else is leftover) too? You
wouldn't like the turkey sandwiches I ate as a kid because they had a
blue cheese spread on them.

> Even a hot turkey sandwich is just turkey, bread, and gravy.

The hot turkey sandwich I'd make is open faced, with a scoop of mashed
potatoes between the turkey and the gravy. White bread is mandatory.

I *love* cranberry with turkey, chicken too... but not in my sandwich.
Next to it is fine.

It depends on my mood, but there isn't much slaw if I decide to do
that, otherwise it's too sloppy to eat - I still have a good sized
scoop of slaw on the side.

True. "Ruin" is putting it kindly. When I was in the Carolinas I
was taken to several places in the region the locals considered
to be barbecue Nirvana. Every time, the thing that is supposedly
best about Carolina styles of barbecue, whole shoulders and hogs
cooked directly over low smoldering fires, got ruined by them
dumping on a pile of slaw.

Most breads are a white bread, made with common wheat flour with all
its bran removed... then there are many versions of wheat flour that
are milled with some percentage of its bran, as in 50% wheat flour...
for the highest percentage of bran the bread must be 100% whole wheat.
The term "whole wheat" is meaningless, it must specify the percentage.
Rye bread is a blend of rye flour and wheat flour... you can't make
rye bread with 100% rye flour because rye contains no glutton so will
not form a dough.

Agreed. Someone a while back commented when I mentioned putting
the mashed potatoes right in the stack of bread, meat, and
gravy, saying the potatoes should be on the side. Not for me!

I have a big loose-leaf binder with plastic pockets, and every time
someone in the family asks 'how did you make that', I write up the
recipe (before I forget exactly how that particular version was done)
and add it to the family cookbook. I try to write the recipes in such a

I believe I sent you a recipe for Beef Burgundy some time ago - that's
the style I use for most of the stuff in the family cookbook.

Some things are part of a sequence of recipes - how to roast a chicken
is followed by how to make stock, which is followed by how to make
chicken soup; roasting a leg of lamb is followed by Scotch Broth, etc.

Big Fat Assed sf is a baking imbecile. In most of the US south
"wheat" differentiates wheat bread from cornbread... pittifully few
restaurants serve 100% whole wheat bread because all whole wheat
breads need to specify a percentage of wheat bran and very few patrons
want a high percentage whole wheat bread, I've never seen any
restaurant in the US that offers 100% whole wheat bread although I'm
sure some do but it'd be rare. To a baker wheat bread simply means
white bread. Flour companies sell either refined wheat flour meaning
it contain no wheat bran or they sell 100% whole wheat flour which
means it contains all the wheat bran. To bake a 40% whole wheat
bread, which is what most commercial whole wheat breads are the bakers
must blend the flours themselves. Restaurants use strange terminology
for most everything, but they are simply figures of speech with
nothing based in reality. In the US servers typically don't ask white
or wheat?, it's left to the patron to specify wheat or they'll get
white because by far that's what most patrons expect. In fact at busy
breakfast eateries they'd be toasting white bread in advance with
conveyorized toasters, but wheat would require special order... but
resto speak has no basis in reality, in the real world white bread is
wheat bread. Big Fat Assed sf is not of the real world... she orders
her toast by the entire loaf! LOL-LOL

I do tend to change things as the mood takes me! AND I forget if I haven't
noted it.

I am still looking for a recipe for veg tart I made for some friends, (one
of them a veggie). He just loved it and nearly ate the whole thing himself.
I can remember roasting a lot of peppers and I know used some cheese ... The
pastry was put on top and baked and then turned upside down ... ideas
anyone?

Anyway! Back to the point ...

You did indeed and I still use it:) It is in my loose-leaf binder with
plastic pockets <g>

So, we do have two to put into a special new file! He has saved the recipes
on his computer but I think the file is an excellent idea, thanks:)

We have started very slowly but those are very good ideas which you can be
very sure I shall put into practice!

No doubt I will be back to you:) Thanks very much:)

Now for bread and Bol sauce ...:)

I understand. I have a recipe folder with sub-folders of my own
pictures and recipes on my computer. I'm doing it for my
grandchildren, not my children. My kids have been able to replicate
the dishes I make that they like without quizzing me about them. It's
interesting to see their personalities come out. Son always puts his
own twist on it, but when DD likes something she wants hers to be
exact - and it is.

In my world any pulled meat is a major mistake, means OVER cooked to
falling apart. Even a quality Kosher Deli hot corned beef sandwich
has to be cooked so the meat is tender but can still be sliced, not
falling apart into shreds... I guess then it would need the slaw to
hide the fact that the meat is a garbage heap. I also detest bbq
sauce... why go to all the trouble of creating a perfectly Qed huka
meat with excellent smoked flavor and then drown it in super sweet
gloppy sauce blended with a mud of spices so that you can't taste the
meat... I always figure if it needs that sauce it was so over cooked
all its fat was rendered out and it's dry like sawdust, and then
especially if it's super spicey hot sauce too, it's lousy bbq... then
it may as well be one of those putrid vegetarian burgers. To me
slathering Q with bbq sauce is like drowning a porterhouse with Heinz
red... Slim Jims with a duck sauce dip would be far superior. Actually
I never heard of pulled meat until I signed on to this Newsgroup,
previously anyone queried pulled meat I would have asked with which
hand do yoose masturbate. It's no wonder yoose, especially yoose
gals, are do defensive about your meat pulling prowess, with that I
can empathize. hehe

Varies with the area. If you ask for rye, it will be normally light

Wheat breads as called here are generally mixed at 50% white and 50%

White, Wheat, or Rye is a general term here that works and works coast

BTW, ignore Sheldon's bit on corn bread vs wheat. He's tripping again.

I spent time down there installing and training on software for
a car dealer. In total it was several weeks. Contrary to
reputation, Southern food ain't all that if you have to eat out.
Fried seafood was OK. Barbecue was a disappointment. EVERYthing
else I ordered anywhere sucked. They ruined steaks, Mexican,
Italian, deli food, etc. plus in SC they acted horrified about a
cocktail at dinner. Local law required they bring airplane
bottles of whatever you ordered and waitstaff had a tendency to
look at you like an outsider if you ordered alcohol. Which I
was, of course. If I tried to get potatoes they acted like I
just ordered durian or something. Feh. At least I got to see the
water tower at Gaffney. They take everybody out to see it. LOL

I don't live in the US but even I know that "wheat" means whole wheat,
even though it may only be a low percentage of whole wheat.

So you readily admit that you know absolutely nothing about bread
baking.

How the hell would Sheldon know what goes on in restaurants
where they ask "white, wheat, or rye?" He's told us many times
that he doesn't go to restaurants.

Your reading comprehension is piss poor or you are extremely
dishonest... I'd say both. What I said was I stopped eating at
restaurants about five years ago, I wasn't compelled to announce that
but I did because unlike you I am honest.

folks around here don't usually act like that. That water tower does
look like a Vagina and it was featured on the Netflix series "House of
Cards". As you drive through Gaffney on I-85, the "Peachoid" sits
right beside the highway.

That looks like somebody had a sex change done by a Dr. who didn't
understand the concept. It's sunburned buttocks with a weird looking
penis pointed in the wrong direction.

No they didn't. It was just if I ordered or tried to buy
alcoholic beverages. When ordering hash browns it more just
caught them off guard, like I thought there was something wrong
with their grits. I had a real good time at the race track! It
was just eating out that wasn't so great. I was offered a big
sack of sweet onions but I was flying home so had to pass.
