Darn fine eatin'
Nothing much heavy today. After my "violence in Christian fiction" dust-up from a few days ago (check my website for the gory details), the purpose of this post is a fun test to see if anyone out there is still reading this silly thing. Or did I run everyone off?
So here it is: food. And not just any food either. Specifically, junk food. We all know the (supposed) benefits of a healthy diet, one that's high in fiber and low in cholesterol. I'm told such a diet will make one virile and handsome and able to lift a Chrysler one-handed. Yippee. Let us leave such people to their grazing. No, what I'm talking about is a bit more...elemental. Earthy. Sensual. In a word, good.
What constitutes junk food? Is it food that's by definition bad for your health? Sure, that helps, but not necessarily. For instance, I grew up in the South. For years I daily ate such fare as country ham (containing enough salt content to shame the Dead Sea), green beans with fatback, cathead biscuits, fried corn, spoonbread, chocolate pie, iced tea so strong and sweet a guy could chop a cord of wood after just a glass...all manner of things that I'm sure would cause Richard Simmons to roll over in his grave (he is dead, isn't he?).
Then in my college days my standard favorite dish, owing to extreme poverty (not to mention congenital bad taste) was a can of uber-cheap Winn-Dixie chili mounded on top of cooked Minute Rice, all heated to a lava-like state in a Mirro popcorn popper, and then washed down with gallons of grape Tang (would astronauts lie?). Even now, my mouth waters.
Today my favorites include such varied fare as chili dogs, Vienna sausage straight out of a can (don't wipe the jelly off; it's good), bags of beef jerky (or if I'm flush, kippered beef strips), salted peanuts in the shell, boiled eggs, and Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. Yowza. As the thread title says, darn fine eatin'.
So what say you all? Anybody like to tell what your secret so-bad-they're-good foods are? Come on, spill. We're all friends here. Far be it from me to tell your wife...
