had to be done

This is not the lolmarx I was expecting.

How did I never notice that before?

You're taking the pressure off the rest of us Juozokas...

The original KFC site is just down the interstate from my home, in Corbin. Local legend has it that they still have the original grease in the deep fryer. I had my picture taken with a life size statue of Colonel Trotsky. Eat your hearts out.

I'm in awe.

I should mention that I was still repairing commercial kitchen equipment, and coming home with my tool bag reeking of congealed chicken grease, when we made our tongue-in-cheek tour of Corbin.

Dave, on my way back from Atlanta after my recent visit, I stopped in Chattanooga for marinated olives at the Indo Pak store. When the proprietor commented that he saw me less often, i explained that I had moved to Kentucky. He replied, 'Ah , Kentucky. I know there. The place with the chicken , yes yes."

Between the Colonel and the Museum of Creation, we got class out the ass, hereabouts.

Yeah, but y'all have bourbon and horses.
Speaking of which, I just found out about a Kentucky novel called "Red Likker" by Irving S. Cobb. Sounds interesting, it's about the owner of a small legal distillery and his reaction to Prohibition. Cobb's one of the southern writers I've heard of all my life and never actually read

Chubbier.

Lip smacking good, if your heart can stand it.

Modern KFC is to southern cooking, as Taco Bell is to Latino cuisine, or as Pizza Hut is to Italian. Damn YUM brands.

edit: as D says, being the birthplace of bourbon does make up for a lot! (plus minor format adjustment)

Also because Jef was eating fried chicken, at like 1am this morning.

Well more accurately their options will be:

No options - the WILL go to the gulags. IN the gulags they have the option to exercise. They will simply be FORCED to eat less because rations will be low. They are of course welcome to work in the salt-mines for the rest of their life. Although that could be short as a random sample of 5% will be thrown into the sea everyday to make room for more gulag residents.

The potato famines over, you realise that right? We have access to a wider more stable variety of carbohydrates these days.

This had nothing to do with Weeler's post.

No, thats sausage gravy, lovely stuff once you get past the appearance. I hate to disappoint you, but there is nothing in the least romantic about grits. I love the stuff, but it's just boiled cornmeal, rather boring really.

That's the wonderful thing about grits. Boring as they can be plain, but anything from shrimp to cheese to veggies dress them up nicely.
Plus they keep you regular if you don't use too much cheese.
