Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Deep fried candy bars? EWWWWWWWWWWW RE: I'm here , I would expect Southern food to be fried. But this was in Virginia etc. Another item on the menu that I found intriquing was "chicken chicken" which proved to be fried chicken. I didn't have it but my husband who is not vegetarian ordered it. Robyn wrote: Robyn - Finding most food fried is something you really see in the southern US.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 LOL--oh that's right, you were mostly out west. We've been having rain all spring, summer and most of the fall this year. Last couple of years we had droughts--guess we prayed too hard for rain, LOL Kathy Re: I'm here Kathy, I hadn't put those thoughts together that it was your summer (or at least coming into fall when we were there) so we were probably getting the best of your recent crop. Since coming home both my husband and myself have been totally disoriented regarding the season. We started our trip in Montana which was covered in smoke from your forest fires. We then travelled to Washington D.C. where it was still just so hot and we were hanging for cool drinks. We then travelled into Alaska and British Columbia where although the weather was not cold we were seeing your first powder snow and of course, there were the glaciers and mountains that are always covered in snow. Then we've returned to Australia where it is now spring but the weather is totally changing from hour to hour from steaming hot to rainy, drizzly and cold. We keep getting confused as to what season we are in. Yes we get very good meat in Australia. But my husband, who eats meat, commented that your meat (beef) tasted different. Perhaps it was your summer again? or perhaps you feed your beef something different, I know they eat a lot of corn. We don't feed beef corn here that I know of. Yes, I ate a lot from the salad bar - hence the comment about eating a lot of lettuce. But I like salad so this was good. I have to watch eating raw vegetables as such, unfortunately, because it disagrees with my Crohn's but I can tolerate salads generally (except for tomatoes which I really have to limit) and dressings. But generally salads come with dressing on the side if you ask for it like this so, again, this isn't a problem. I ate well on the trip. I actually put on weight but not as much as my husband who just LOVES his food! (((Hugs))) Robyn Yahoo! Search- Looking for more? Try the new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Oh, I know. Most of our neighbors just raise for themselves and a few local sales. I was just pointing out that our out-of-control appetite for beef is really wrecking our health and our environment--too many acres devoted to feed and water and place for them to live. Not to mention the hormones routinely given to make them larger. And the antibiotics given routinely instead of just as needed. OMG--now I have myself feeling guilty--we went grocery shopping last night and stopped at McD's, LOL Kathy Re: I'm here But VERY environmentally unfriendly.When we get beef we get it from a neighbor who doesn't use antibiotics or hormones and only a very small amount of corn--what's left when harvest is over.KathyPlease visit our website at:http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Well--Virginia is the South, LOL--just not the deep South. They're below the Mason-Dixon line. Where was the "chicken chicken" I wouldn't have known what that was either? Kathy RE: I'm here , I would expect Southern food to be fried.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I can't claim any credit for it now ....maybe 40 years ago but not now.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 You're right though about the use of hormones and antibiotics though. I grew up on a farm where we raised our own beef and they grazed on open fields plus were fed some corn when they would come to the barn. We then had them slaughtered and kept enough beef for our own use and sold the remainder. I know I was definitely was in better health when I was eating our own beef than now but age is probably more likely the cause of that. LOL Jane Re: I'm here But VERY environmentally unfriendly.When we get beef we get it from a neighbor who doesn't use antibiotics or hormones and only a very small amount of corn--what's left when harvest is over.KathyPlease visit our website at:http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 But you never know, LOL. Actually the antibiotic thing contributes to the "super-bug" phenomena which is creating more and more infections that are antibiotic resistant. (such as Melinda's MRSA, for example) The hormone thing is a real problem for kids, but could also contribute to the rise of some cancers.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Kathy, Sorry it has taken so long to reply to this. I've been trying to remember the name of the restaurant - not a good idea when you are in total brain fog like I've been in lately! I reckon that at this rate in another year's time I'll be lucky to remember my OWN name. It was a chain type restaurant in Virginia that has the decore of a country home with buffalo heads on the walls and posters etc and as well as the restaurant it sells crafty type souvenirs etc. That's the best I can do.
