[Geezer]

C'mon you guys... Fried chicken & fried catfish for Saturdays banquet? Really? WTF! I am hoping that there are folks who vote differently & really soon.

Fried apples are also way out front for a side dish. :lol:

Why would anyone fry an apple?

CatFish tastes like mud. I've tried it multiple times over the years thinking I just haven't had good cat fish.

I see folks at the next table just chowing down on it and can't understand how. I do notice they use a

ton on Texas Pete's hot sauce on it. Maybe to kill the mud taste. I'd suggest you don't vote for it just

because you never had it. But if you do make sure they have Texas Pete's. No affiliation with Texas Pete.

I promise.

I've eaten catfish but never noted the "mud taste"

OTOH, I've never eaten mud so perhaps I just don't recognize that particular flavour

As a norm I avoid fried foods for the most part but this looks to be turning out as "Heart Attack on a Plate" night.

Wayne, are the vegetarians amongst us destined to eat sides or is there a special menu for them?

& Geez, actually fried apples are pretty good. I know it sounds kinda' gross... but they're usually quite tasty & don't look fried at all.

Nope. Apples are eaten either as they come from the tree, or baked in a pie. Maybe apple sauce.

Hey! is that why you're called 'Geezer' ? :lol:

I knew that was coming. Yeah as a boy I probably tasted just about everything and moving around a lot

I had to try them all over again just to make sure it wasn't different there.

Mud does come in many different flavors. I should of been more specific.

Catfish tastes like brown river mud the kind with some clay mixed in with it.

What are little boys made of? Frogs and snailsAnd puppy-dogs' tails,What are little girls made of? Sugar and spiceAnd everything nice,

Fried apples have a similar consistency to the apples in apple pie. They should also contain cinnamon when made. They are best (IMO) with vanilla ice cream. Let me put it to you this way... would you rather have fried okra than fried apples? lol my northern friend!

Yes, good point.

Like this:

OK, you win, fried apples it is. Much preferred over fried okra, whatever that is.

Hi Mike, I'm aware of where Virginia falls on the east coast. I've been here since '81, too. I guess that I should also note that I'm originally from Jersey. No matter how long I've been here I still don't/won't eat Okra. I will eat fried apples over okra any day.

& that's a good point about Bambi... lol! Funny stuff!

 

[Fred W]

Hey!! I like Fried Apples (and voted for 'em) and I'm norther-er than Geezer.

But I have to say this picture of Geezer in his yoot' is kind'a funny.

Oh, and for the fiddles, I'll take a Stradivarius...

(I also love Texas Pete's, though not in a biblical sense...)

I will be speaking to Cumberland Falls on other business Monday afternoon. I will inquire. In the mean time, help me out here - How many non-"heart attack on a plate" members are we talking about (1, 5, 22???). Please PM me if you fall into this food preference.

I'm out of town for the weekend; poaching McD's wifi from a bait shop parking lot while my dad gets catfish bait. I grew up on fresh fish; so fish in a restaurant typically does not get me fired up; however, the bass and bluegill fillets back in the cooler that are going in the pan tonight are another story...

Wayne, are the vegetarians amongst us destined to eat sides or is there a special menu for them?

 

[extrememarine]

Back to civilization today.

Not one PM in my inbox requesting vegetarian meals. I'll be speaking with cumberland falls tomorrow about meals, so there's still time to PM me...

Catfish tastes just like *****

Jes sayin... if it smells (or tastes) like fish it's probably got an infection.
