Best dinner ever!
I just had the tastiest dinner I’ve ever had - fried chicken breast (Popeyes), green beans, homemade mashed potatoes, and rich, homemade, chicken gravy. I wonder, what would you consider the most perfect meal?
|
A dozen jumbo steamed Maryland blue crabs with Old Bay seasoning, and beer. Nothing else is needed.

I like your style. Popeye's makes incredible chicken. |
What comes to mind is a lobster roll (while being in Maine) and a decaf latte.

I suspect Popeyes isn't going to make many lists.
I had it once. First bite was awesome. 2nd bite? I felt my arteries start to clog, my cholesterol rising and I knew the grease taste would never go away or the smell come off my fingers. Threw away the sandwich. |

Klobasa, roasted potatoes and dandelion-green salad. Mom made this a couple of times every spring around Easter. Maybe potica for dessert.
And a shot or two of Slivovitz. |

Our annual family reunion - coming up on the 90th. Classic homemade picnic style dishes, like mac and cheese, potato and macaroni salad, three bean salad, fried chicken, baked beans, etc. and the list goes on and on. And don't forget the deserts. All (or most) homemade and delicious.

secret is thick steaks, and very hot iron skillet for maybe 15-20 seconds a side. I did it once and it started to rain, and the rain drops sent hot oil onto the side of the house. . . :oops: |

For instance: Rack of musk ox, grilled asparagus, smashed Yukon gold with musk ox au just at a first rate restaurant overlooking Vancouver Island as the sun sinks slowly in the west, or, Fresh caught white abalone steak, lightly dipped in egg batter and quickly pan fried, with fresh mixed green salad and grilled garlic sourdough while at anchor in Cherry cove, Catalina, or, Baramundi "wings" (pectoral fins) cooked in a wine and butter sauce with (I really can't remember. It's been so long ago) in a jungle themed restaurant in Port Douglas, Australia, or, Saimin on Waikiki after spending the morning surfing/snorkeling. This reminiscing could go on for hours. Thanks for asking. |
A Jersey Shore lightly fried fish fry consisting of fried fillet, sea scallops, jumbo shrimp, crab cake, and at an extra charge an added fried lobster tail. None of this is greasy. A side of Mac & Cheese and stewed tomatoes. Start the meal with a big bloody Mary with shrimp and olives. We have this meal at a certain Jersey Shore restaurant when we can. Privately owned. Not a chain. Being down the shore they are not open all year.

I am from the Midwest, so I will say fresh walleyed pike.

Sounds better than most of the food restaurants here in the villages serves
|
Capital Grill
Steak Oscar a filet mignon, topped jumbo lump crab and bearnaise, sides mashed potatoes and asparagus. Oh, I forgot Canadian Club and ginger ale over ice. |
Bow tie
Bow tie with thick truffle sauce and a cab.
Around here, try Flemmings in Orlando. Best dry aged rib eye in the area. |

Was once trapped by a blizzard for three days and two nights.
Nothing death defying, had water, made shelter, fire for warmth, no food though. When we finally got out, had a bowl of hot stew, a cup of tea, and a cigarette. Best 5-star meal I ever had. |

When I was a kid my mom would make whatever we wanted for our birthday. I always wanted leg of lamb, mint jelly, mashed potatoes, spinach and birthday cake.
Now, since I haven't eaten mammals for about 25 years..... seafood and pasta, preferably linguini. Shrimp, scallops and lobster being my very favorite. |
Research the oil that popeyes uses. Mechanics use it too.
|
Roast beef, mashed potatoes, string beans, carrots, onions, gravy, biscuits and butter. That's my absolute favorite. Closely followed by corned beef and cabbage dinner.
For "comfort" food, I'll be happy with American chop suey. |

Back in 1968 I landed a job on a survey crew contour mapping what would eventually become Voyageur's National Park, up on the border of Minnesota and Ontario. Great summer job for a young buck: ten on, four off and the four off if not spent at home were spent in places like International Falls raising hell. Maybe 12 of us, living in tents and running lines from benchmark to benchmark that were always near lakes. One night my buddy and I, together with our surveyor, misjudged the time and ended up not being able to get back to camp by dark. No problem; we just bedded down on whatever looked soft and sort of slept. No food, and water gone. Just before dawn we got up; my buddy remembered a small stream about 100 yards down hill from where we were, and volunteered to get water. He used his hard hat for the purpose. When he got back we all had a big drink. When it became light enough to see though we saw what was left in his hard hat wasn't just water: dozens of mosquito larvae were busily swimming around. |
