If you could have one "Dream" meal,

where would you go, who would you be with, and what would you have.

I want you to dream big here, people!!

If you cant decide then pick two dream meals (or dream dinner dates)

Lets see that creativity get going

First, I'll say that I could have a Big Mac with the right person. A ham sandwich and chips, yes. I have been to splashy restaurants with the wrong person, and it didn't matter how much $$ it cost, it wasn't right.

That said, in my limited experience, the best food I ever had was this little steakhouse in New Orleans. I don't remember what the name was but it was on Bourbon Street. I had filet mignon, which was like sex on a plate. Oh my goodness, that was eating.

My second choice would be more for sentimentality than food, though it was excellent. I grew up near Amish country, and my brother went to college in a town there. Each weekend, my family would go to this family-style restaurant that had ham, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, all kinds of things and homemade pie. I would love to take special someone back to Ohio to that place; like part of my childhood.

Hi gui

Great reply.

Just to clarify for everyone my question has no relationship to cost. A dream meal can be bread and cheese, or an apple in the right location with or without whomever you choose. I was just wondering what yall would do if you could pick up and have anything that you wanted.

Pizza sounds like a good idea. Your night off?

Geesh..I never got downtown for my fish taco.

Starting to think that this is an illusion and if I wish hard enough for one it will magically appear.

*wishing..*

Nope not working.

I can try again tomorrow

Ursy!! Welcome to the thread!

So glad you are here my friend.

We have so many fabulous people here, I thought, where is our sparkly fairy from down under?

Fish Taco, very simple, requires however, fresh corn tortillias. I am crazy about them.

The totally old-fashioned way.

Start with two big (24 oz) loaves of bread, torn into pieces the day before and set out in the turkey roaster to dry, cuz nuthin else is big enough to hold all that bread.

In a skillet, melt a stick of butter (yes, butter). Chop in a BIG onion and a stalk of celery--no no, not a STICK, the whole thing. That's right. Now let them cook down for a while. Onion cooked? Good. Put the dry bread into the biggest bowl you've got. Pour the sizzling hot butter all over the bread and mix it in--sorry about the burn, next time use a spoon.... Hm. Not enough, huh? Get a two cup measure full of water and pour it in a little at a time, mixing as you go (you can use your hands now, it'll be faster). Mix in the seasonings as you go: sage (loads of it), thyme (lots of it), pepper (eh, not so much, okay?). Keep mixing. If you couldn't get all the bread in the bowl at first, add it in now.

When the stuffing is packable, put the (empty, remember to pull out the giblets!) turkey on the rack in the roaster, undo the plastic gizmo that holds the legs together and start packing the body cavity full of stuffing... no honey, FULL. Cram that stuffing in there. Okay, now stuff the neck cavity the same way and pull the skin underneath it to hold it in. Yeah, it rips sometimes--don't worry about that. Any stuffing that lands in the drippings will just make the gravy better.

Still got stuffing left? Whoo hoo! Pack it all along the drumsticks, between them and the body. Make sure you put the gizmo back before you mound more stuffing between the drumsticks also; a goodly amount should be able to rest on them so that you have that classic "stuffing popping out of the bird" look.

Pop the lid on your roaster and put the bird in the oven at 250 overnight. Oh I know, but you see, I don't buy Butterball turkeys so I feel totally free to ignore their advice. I'm telling you, thawed 22 pounder crammed to the gills with stuffing: 250, overnight. If you put it in at midnight, you'll be having turkey between 10 a.m. and noon, and never a case of food poisoning in the thirty years I've been doing it this way. You might like to take the lid off the roaster and baste the bird for the last hour or so to get a crackly skin.

Don't talk to me about fried chicken

When I was down south in NC I first discoverd Bojangles and their lovely (spicy) fried chicken...and dirty rice to die for....and bo berry biscuits...I'm gonna hush on that now....

THEN we went further south to SC and I discovered Church's chicken....dear GOD......it was the best chicken I ever had.....the chicken was always juicy..but it still had that crunch.....omg....love me some church's

Then there was our favorite BBQ place in Greer, SC Mutt's....they had wicked good bbq AND fried chicken....and sweet tea for days.....Seriously, even when I moved back up here I found it difficult to delete their number from my phone. And I didn't even get to go there when I was back down there last year

When Teddy and I move back down there I wanna be no more than 2 hrs away from there!!!

Its always good to have good food nearby no?

Oh what we are willing to do for some good fried chicken! I'm gonna have
to make some.

Sachita · 11-17-2012, 08:34 AM

being southern I love fried chicken although I don't make it that often. Because its such a treat there is a big ritual involved. I brine the bird using herbs and spices. I double drench too. I only use peanut oil to dry my chicken.

I am most loved for my steaks. I can make the best steak you ever ate. One of the keys is to always let your meat get room temp never throw cold meat on a grill unless its chicken. I use a cast iron grill with non-treated charcoal and some real wood.
