...what a lovely drive that was.

I can't decide whether Micro, North Carolina or the Weems-Botts Museum (right here in Virginia) was my favorite place name of the journey.

We introduced

darthrami to Waffle House ['Should I get a burger?' "NO!"].

We got cherry limeades and a choco-banana cream pie milk shake.

We ate many things that should not have probably been eaten on the same day.

We hurt

thursdays_son's soul.

We amused

lunamystic, who is recovering nicely from her high-velocity tumble from a combat wombat.

We listened to way too much evangelical Christian rawk.

And we pretty much remembered not to hold hands or kiss the entire time, especially not in the Waffle House.

Yeah, I don't miss the deep South one bit.

Are those two sentences connected? Because if not, they should be.

Well, the same day as the choco-banana cream pie milkshake (my wife's) and the cherry limeade (mine) there was also Saint Albray cheese, Damson plum conserve, Velveeta queso with blue corn chips, Strongbow cider, barbecue, and chocolate pie, It was wonderfully terrifying.

I'm impressed.

(Saint Albray cheese?)

Saint Albray is like stinkier, more assertive brie. It's pungent and delightful.

... out of academic curiosity, how did you hurt Tony's soul?

I'm not sure, but such was ascribed to us.

I will never get over how exciting American food sounds.

I mean, here...you'd go out and get, I don't know. A salad. A sandwich. A milkshake. A soft drink. Fish and chips. A meat pie or sausage roll. Coke.

And you have choco-banana cream pie milk shakes and chili cheese fries and biscuits with gravy (I will never EVER get over the idea of scones being called biscuits and being served with gravy), and pies that contain everything from peanut butter to cherry to chocolate goop. It's mindboggling.

And then we will serve you posole and green chili stew and sopapillas and BLOW YOUR MIND!

[link] [parent] [reply]

They all sound terrifying. What are they?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Posole is a stew thickened with cornflour or strips of stale corn tortilla, as far as I know (and may Sparky correct me if I'm wrong!) Green chile stew is a stew made with ,well, green chiles (remember the whole 'what is a capsicum?' debate?) and it's sort of thin but spicy and tasty and you sop it up with tortillas, and sopaipillas are fried dough with cinnamon sugar or honey on them, served warm. All lovely food, from the American Southwest.

If you think of something Particularly American you want to eat while you're here for Milicon 2006, I'll be happy to cook it for you.

Southwest/Mexican stuff all sounds so lovely. I get Mexican whenever I can, but my housemate doesn't like it and there are very, very limited fast-food Mexican options, so I don't have it much :(

I don't really know what IS Particularly American! Probably pie. Um. And all of those things you just described sound nice.

*folds fingers evilly* Excellent.

We shall take you to Guapo's. I'm not sure its authenticity count is high, but it has many quasi-Meximerican things and margaritas. Also, it's right down the street from our apartment.

What kind of pie? Apple pie? Lemon meringue pie? Key Lime pie? Chocolate cream pie? Boston cream pie, which totally isn't a pie but is more of a Victoria sponge with ganache poured over it and none of the health benefits of jam?

*jawdrop*

Um. Er. Any of the above, really, although I am not hugely keen on lime and the first two we do have over here.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Er, New Mexican food. Green chile is spicy, (I spelled it wrong above. For shame!) so not liked by all. But everybody loves sopapillas! (They are sweet puffy fry bread things that you eat with honey. Well, you can eat them other ways, but that's the yummy dessert way...)

You know, meat pies and sausage rolls are also happymaking. I thik the food is always tastier on the other side of the continental divide.

And we have scones. We just make them wedge-shape and don't like them plain.

*sneaks up on all your sausage rolls*

You should've gone to a Huddle House.

tzi and I held hands, petted, snuggled, and smooched aplenty at a Huddle House way deep down in south Georgia, and not a single eyelash was batted. Of course, it was somewhere around one o'clock in the morning and we were part of a small crowd. People might've assumed we were drunk. We certainly giggled enough.

Perhaps we'll do an experiment and repeat the above behaviour at a Waffle House - just to see what happens.
