10 Great All-Americans

Yummies, that is. It’s a pretty fair list:

1) New England clam chowder
2) Pastrami (New York)
3) Shoofly pie (Pennsylvania)(…apple pan-dowdy, makes your eyes light up, tummy say ‘howdy’! and no, that’s not part of the article.)
4) Smithfield ham (Virginia)
5) Po-boys (Louisiana)
6) Fajitas (Texas)
7) Chicago hot dogs (Illinois)
8) Chile verde (New Mexico)
9) San Francisco sourdough (California)
10) Olympia oysters (Washington)

(I do have a problem with Chicago hot dogs. HUH? New YAWK ring a bell?? Nathan’s? Hebrew National? YANKEE frickin FRANKS???)
The obvious, GLARing, you’re a ‘Communist piece of shit for forgetting‘ omission (duh, Duh, DUH)???

Roast Gobbler, plastic or otherwise.
You don’t get that no place but here. God bless America!

   I’m partial to broiled Pacific salmon myself, rather than Washington oysters. Although I recall geo-ducks as being especially tasty.

   I tell you what, there JeffS! Old ‘he who shall remain nameless’ (Bingley thinks he’s a pudgey, wussie Irish boy, so I won’t ruin his weekend by mentioning Bobby Flay, who, by the by doesn’t sing counter tenor like some among us have lamentably admitted to) went to a fresh-out-the-river salmon bar-b-que some town puts on as a fundraiser on his show night before last. Major Dad and I both lost our minds, it looked that good. The incredible color of the fish alone was enough to spur copious puddles of drool to form.

   Though there have been days I would have killed for a roast beef on white bread from Place By The Tracks….

   Mmmmm. Cincy chili.
   Maybe, some day, Nevada can get on the list for the 99-cent shrimp cocktail.

   Oh, and let’s not forget fresh Alaska halibut steak, grilled to a perfection! MMMMMMMMMMM! I’d like to say I caught it myself, but I was suffering from motion sickness, and handed my permit to my buddy.

    Tsk tsk, Mr. Bingley. So UnAmerican of you. Still, you like Chicago hot dogs, so there’s hope for you yet.

    NO you may not. You’ll be looking at purchasing a whole new wardrobe for that swank new job of yours and need to cut a dashing figure.
