ROTFLOL we eat stuffing we don't call it dressing, to me dressing is the

stuff you put on a salad OR the cornbread type of stuffing lol now my true

southern friends do make their dressing with both bread and cornbread just

for me I can eat it this way heehee

Kathy mom to Sara 10 .............. I was floored and grossed out once when I

saw my grandpa break up his cornbread and put it into his buttermilk, the

butter milk alone made me queeeezzzyyyy but to put the cornbread in it almost

sent me over the edge lol

You can always tell the northerners passing through. They order salad at

Cracker Barrel. GEEZ. Cracker Barrel is NOT for healthy food guys. Speaking

of Christmas parties. I had to eat " dressing " made in Milwaukee. It was wet

white bread. Mine is made from honey cornbread.

Elaine

Elaine- I grew up with sage/celery dressing/stuffing made with white bread.

Then I married a Hungarian and learned how to make the best stuffing (1/2 lb

butter, 12 eggs, in inards in the bag all chopped up, an onion, celery, carrots

and bread soaked in water and then wrung out. The only spice is a bit of pepper

and salt. Of course I left out the directions...lol. I can't stomach cornbread

stuffing.

I don't order salad at Cracker Barrel..I get the green beans and carrots

[Guest guest]

I always order a salad at cracker barrel. I hate fatty southern food, but I

love to go to cracker barrel for the atmosphere and because we dont have any

in the north. The kids love it there too and of course my dh Ralph LOVES

southern cousine.

I have to say, for a northerner, I can make some mean grits - believe that or

not@!

Gee, I didn't know Cracker Barrel was that Southern. They have them

in Minnesota. I have only eaten grits once in my life and that was at an inn

in Neosho Missouri. I guess they do have that kind of stuff at Cracker

Barrel but I don't get into that. I thought it was more country. We enjoy

the atmosphere too, there is one just over the hill from us so we go fairly

often, well some of the people there know us. We've bought some beautiful

things in the store part, too.

I especially like to go when it's cold out and they have a fire in the

big fireplace. Most other restaurants seem kind of sterile by comparison. I

will say one t hing, they don't know how to do corned beef and cabbage.

Here in Australia Cracker Barrel is a cheese. I am thinking Cracker

Barrel is like a steak house? Or Mcs?

I was there to help in the life of a child.

[Guest guest]

I must say you guys have some really weird food? Fried Apples? It was

probably an American that came up with deep fried Mars bars...... I

haven't tasted one, but I think a pie made out ut of pecan nuts is weird

too......... I reckon I would put on 50lb if I visited USA hehehehehe

Then again- you guys probably think we have weird foods here too.......

>> cole slaw and fried

>>apples.

We have Cracker Barrel cheese here also. Cracker Barrel Restaurant is a

family style, country restaurant that serves delicious food, breakfast,

lunch and dinner, and is what we call homestyle cooking. And they serve

breakfast all day long. There is also a country store attached with food

items, some clothing, lots of stuff for the home.

In the restaurant itself is a brick fireplace, lots of fun during the

winter.

Cracker Barrel is also a cheese here -- I use that when I make macaroni and

cheese from scratch.

Cracker Barrel resturants is a chain. The atmosphere is country, not southern.

They have a large porch with dozens of rocking chairs for patrons to sit on

while they wait - they can also purchase them. Also, they have a store that

sells some neat items, including toys and household decorating items. The food

is fattening -- one of their specialties is chicken and dumplins. They serve

" comfort foods " - foods we had regularly when we were children (meatloaf,

chicken fried steak, chicken pot pie, etc.). The last one I ate at was in

Fredricksburg, VA - south of DC and not too far from where one of the victims

was shot by the " sniper " . Not on the menu is their appetizer tray. Some places

charge while others do not. It is cheese, crackers and pickles.

We have a Cracker Barrel near Syracuse. It's one of my favorite places for

breakfast. :-)

I LOVE Mars bars!!! I was so disappointed when I was in Canada this summer and

bit into a Mars bar...I forgot they don't have almonds in them up north! I can'

imagine a deep friend one thou gh...

[Guest guest]

Jessie,

That's what I was going to say - I love the fire place! We've bought some

neat stuff in the store and of course the checker/rug set. we love that.

They do make a good cream of broc soup though- only time i eat a creamy soup

is there. Thats as southern as I get!

[Guest guest]

Leis,

we have cracker barrel cheese here too. Cracker barrel is southern cousine -

not at all like mcd more like a family style resturant. Whats really cool is

that they got these rocking chairs all out front and they are for sale. They

have like a quaint general store in the front and then a restuarant - wooden

tables and chairs, big ol fireplace, very comfy and lots of interesting stuff

on the walls.
