The CBI was really a nightmare. It was within weeks of coming to the US permanently. If you gave me a lineup I still couldn't identify the craptastic foods they ordered for me. Assurances of good old Southern food, biscuits, and sweet tea. All hosted by the equivalent of a Red Neck Adam's Family. While extensively polite and to this day very much loving, I'm fairly sure they use Raccoon hairs and Alligator eczema as grooming products.
The meal itself consisted of salt and beer seasoned with what was apparently beef and potatoes. Washed down with diabetic shock inducing "sweet" tea that would have challenged the constitution of an ant colony.
I was, quite literally, afraid to eat again for days until I discovered Cheerios. -Magnus
ROFLMAOPMP magnus, Although I eat real southern food (not cracker barrel, but real food)- that description just tickled the snot right out of me!! And it really is true. LOL
Everything I eat is fried, and usually covered in gravy or hot sauce, since I am a Native Texacun and Tex Mex is better than real mexican food. Every meal is accompanied by a bread of some sort, always homemade (unless its white bread, in that case its Mrs Bairds or NOTHING), including tortillias, biscuts, yeast rolls, and cornbread (real cornbread, not the kind that has enough sugar to taste like cake).
and I wont drink Tea unless it was made with Sugar WHILE hot. and then poured over a glass full of ice. Dont bring it to me and bring me out sugar in a packet. If you aint got sweet tea, bring me a dr Pepper.
I will eat almost any critter you can kill, and like apple in my tuna fish. I have NEVER eaten pot roast, or chicken and dumplins at a resturant, DO NOT put anything except salt and pepper on my steak, and DO NOT cook it all the way through- and I refuse to eat chili with beans in it.
and up until 6 months ago I was on 24.5kb dial up and was proud to have that. when I was using my first computer 14 years ago I honestly dont know what the dial up speed was.
