if not beans the I like PORK grilled smoked fried roasted in a pie shell with or without sauce just as long as it is a good hunk of PORK. OYSTERS & CLAMS are great on the side with a salad.
For after the meal & nap the cheese cake sounds good or some fresh fruit mangoes come to my mind first.

This is probably why I weigh in at 240 lbs.! Speaking of pork, I have found a nice little Mexican Resturant that serves Pork Fajita's! Love it!!!! Of course there is always a place for an original New Orleans Oyster Poor Boy!

I find it amusing sometimes that few Americans can tell the difference between a British accent (as in one used by a person from that rather large island in northern Europe) and one from Australia or New Zealand. They really are quite different, just as a "Southern accent" from a Texan is quite different than the "Southern accent" heard from a Virginian. Just curious, Tranter: In your visits to the US, have you ever had problems identifying American accents from various parts of the country?

Yes, very much so. And it has helped me be patient with some Americans who ask if I am Australian. This would annoy me anywhere else.

There are a few very distinctive American accents, from the deep south, or New York for example, but you need to be born in a country to 'read' accents.

Actually even today many Americans like the sound of a British accent. Once on a payphone in Arizona I noticed a woman standing next to me, I offered the phone, explaining my next call was to Brasil, and would take a while. She said she didn't need the phone, just loved the accent.

Ummm,, A perfect grass raised T-Bone, rare or medium rare, about a dozen butterfly breaded Gulf Shrimp, boiled red skin potatoes, and garden fresh green beans, cooked with fat back!!

Brewed Iced tea, sugar, no lemon.

I don't do deserts so just a few more of the shrimp

NOW,, if I am cooking it, like tonight, packaged sirloin tips in gravy, with a side of garlic mashed taters, and a glass of wine.

the first meal I have had, in of all places , San Fransisco!!

I wish my memory wasn't fried, I have had some kick buttocks meals, but no longer remember the recipe.

For example, there used to be a place in San Antonio Texas that made absolutely the best breakfast with re fried beans,over easy egg on top, chile sauce,shredded cabritto, ( young goat) and fresh onion, tomato slices and warm fresh corn tortillas that would fall apart when you tied to roll them.


Dang I am hungry now!!!

That is very true indeed, Tranter. I can tell the difference between British and Australian accents easily, but I have a great deal of trouble differentiating between, say, a British accent from the North of England, and one from London for example. It might interest you to know the same problem exists with German accents. A Berliner does not sound like someone from Munich!
