Foods That Should Be - Page 3

The Plastic Gourmet. I picture things like $8.99 prime rib au jus with garlic/rosemary mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, served drive-thru style for harried familes who are tired of nothing but quick burgers. The drive-thru is mostly for people who call/web/text ahead with their order; there's a covered parking lot for people willing to wait 10-15 minutes for quicker items.

Don't you guys have Boston Market up there? It's practically exactly what you're describing. They have meatloaf, roasted chickens, fresh steamed vegetables, pasta salad, cinnamon apples, macaroni and cheese... all served to go with cheapass plasticware. More expensive than fast food burgers, but cheaper than your typical family restaurant.

I got our entire Thanksgiving meal from them last year, put all the food in my own serving dishes, and no one knew the difference.

We do, just maybe not out in the country, where UT lives.

We have a shop here where you can get a Yorkshire Pudding with a filling of your choice to take away. Best sellers include Sausage, Mash & Onion Gravy and Roast Beef with Veg. Sadly quite expensive, but a payday treat.

There is a picture on this site for reference

Ok, looks good but I really don't need my meat described as "freshly slaughtered"

I have the same reaction to peanut butter, so am trying to derail the PB worship

Takes all sorts!

It's been years since I've heard of a peanut slaughter. When I was a lad we'd go to the peanut shambles and watch the gruesome business.

But that was many years ago, it's all luxury high rises now...

One of my fave midnight snacks was a sweet pickle wrapped in a piece of balony. I did this for years before my dad and I ran into each other at the fridge and discovered that we shared this freakish taste.

Sorry chick, bit too American for me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't eat there if I was your side of the pond, but I just can't get excited about hypothetical meatloaf, as the only meatloaf I've ever eaten was cheap, rubbery and tough.

And root beer tastes like Germolene - ick!

Now if you wax lyrical about the potatoes you're going to serve you might just catch my attention...

Sorry lad can't eat that unless you eliminate the wheat. The other stuff sounds good...just change the name so you don't chase away the anti-wheaters.

Not true !!! I would eat there as long as you made a cold version of your sando , cold Meat loaf on plain white bread , a slight slathering of mayo ( period !!!) .
No salt , peper , or other stuff to pollute the good Meat loaf ( it Should stand on its own) .
Hell you could even make the meat cake from here http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php...ight=meat+cake

Yes, of course, hot or cold, same goes for the gravy. Don't be thsilly!
