Good God, the size of that burger, how will one fit that into his/her mouth?

LOL, I think those who can eat that outsize burger must have those expandable jaws similar to the kind that snakes have.

Here's the funny part: I grew up thinking a sandwich was two triangles of buttered bread, crust trimmed off, with a couple of slices of cucumbers or tomatoes as filling, or perhaps a little chicken. The sandwiches I saw in this great nation truly left me gobsmacked. I had the same question Howard asks above: How on earth do they eat them?

A similar revelation happened to me in reverse when I went to Italy and had their pizza for the first time: Conceptually, it was rather like my sandwich in India. A thin crust of dough with a bit of marinara sauce smeared on it and some melted cheese. Amazing, after consuming our American variety which is like a disc of dough with a small forest of toppings.

I suppose food reflects societies and cultures in interesting ways.

May we assume that to be a Texas Barbecue Beef, chicken and sausage platter for one? Oh please, please , please let it be so.

 

[Oldsarge]

Maybe for one Texan. Even in my hungriest years I'd never have gotten more that halfway through that. Fun to try, though.

My Parents and I, we all ate Fried Chicken from the restaurant that My Father ordered from Ubereats, Texas Fried Chicken and it was delicious, despite the french fries, everything else was pretty good and greasy.

It's a restaurant fast food joint.

 

[Howard]

Has anyone ever ate in a Fried Chicken fast food joint to eat there or to be brought back home?

 

[Oldsarge]

Back in SoCal there's this place called Pollo Loco. Eat in, yes. Take home, yes. Eat in the car, that too.

How was the restaurant and what did they serve?

 

[Oldsarge]

Grilled chicken, served with tortillas and beans. It was very good, most of the time. It was always best to go there at the busiest time of the day so the chicken didn't sit too long.

A watched pot never boils, or so my Mama told me! I suppose that same thought applies to grills? LOL.

 

[Oldsarge]

It's "A watched pot never boils over." Because you're watching it, see?

 

[Oldsarge]

I say, lay out a spread!

The last one is for Howard who loves meatballs.
