What the Lounge needs now is a FRIED CHICKEN FLAMEWAR!!!!

[Beware the Beast Man]

I prefer crushed corn flakes or saltines for my breading...

[redqueen]

1. Pure white trash.

:eyes:

[Texasgal]

2. WHAT?

CORNFLAKES OR SALTINES?

ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?

YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT FRIED CHICKEN! OH, AND YOUR AN ASSHOLE TOO! :P

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. Sometimes I use animal crackers.

:P

[Zuni]

12. oh hell no

tell me that was a joke, you fried chicken desecrating bastard :P

[Beware the Beast Man]

22. I ain't got no love for poultry!!!

x(

[Texasgal]

14. ANIMAL CRACKERS?

YOU ARE TO ONLY USE FLOUR/EGG/SALT/PEPPA!!!!

GEEEZ LOUISE! :P

[auntAgonist]

54. I've never made fried chicken.

[wtmusic]

3. No honey-glazed? nt

[progmom]

4. you know...i have never tried that

is that any good?

[XNASA]

5. Cornflakes? Saltines?

You're certifiably insane, my friend. Certifiably insane.

[Hugin]

6. The ultimate Fried Chicken question is...

"Hot or Cold?"

I myself prefer COLD!

:hide:

[flordehinojos]

34. hot from the stove, or room temperature--cold from the refrigerator, never

[Hugin]

66. Chilled darn it!

Brings out the flavor and attracts fewer flies.

[Zuni]

8. you commie bastard!

:grr:

no self repecting southerner would ever use cereal or saltines for fried chicken.

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. I'm not a southerner. Fuck the South!

Oops...wrong flame war! :evilgrin:

[Zuni]

10. while we are on the whole "fuck the south thing"

do you consider maryland a Northern or a Southern state? :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

16. Northern, at least from my deep southern perspective.

[matcom]

i considered it north when i lived there

virginia = south

[chickenscratching]

18. I thought this was only a

"fuck whitey" type thing?

:D

[Zuni]

24. fuck the south is code

for saying "fuck whitey"

[chickenscratching]

37. good, I like saying it in code,

i remember that particular phrase shutting down a few threads when I was at the height of my excitement...:D
ah, those were the days!

[Jara sang]

25. Maryland is in no mans land

Slave state during the U.S. Civil War that was part of the Union. I beleieve they were techiniquly neutral during the U.S. Civil War.

[Zuni]

28. no, we were Union

but many Confederate sympathizers went south and fought for that side

[Jara sang]

42. Maryland was forced at gunpoint to stay in the Union.

[Zuni]

48. I know

actually a lot of northern and western MD were very pro-union, but the southern part and eastern shore were pro-confederate

[matcom]

11. HEATHEN!!

any chicken lover KNOWS that Fruit Loops are the ONLY coating!

why do you hate 'Murica?

[Shell Beau]

13. I have the "White Trash" cookbook and they use all

kinds of crazy stuff for the breading. I did actually use club crackers for breading for Chicken Parmesan b/c that is what the recipe called for. I am used to flour for breading, though!

[redqueen]

17. Oh my God...

is that real?

Do they have the recipe for potato chip casserole in there?

[Shell Beau]

19. It is "so" real and I have it. They have the most bizarre recipes.

Like cooter pie and raccoon stew. Not southern cooking that I am used to.

On edit, it was a gift, I did not seek out this cookbook and have never cooked one thing from it.

[redqueen]

27. Weird!

Is there nothing in there you're the slightest bit curious to try?

[Shell Beau]

76. There are a couple of things, but I am sketchy about it.

One item is a "no stick peanut butter sandwich". It is mayo and peanut butter. The mayo is supposed to keep the PB from sticking!! YUCK!! And Roast Possum!!!



A pic from the book!

[Cannikin]

29. NOT Cooter pie. Tell me it isnt so.

[redqueen]

35. Are cooters turtles?

I remember a Daily Show skit about a cooter fest... but I can't quite recall what exactly a cooter is.

[redqueen]

58. They are, indeed.

[Shell Beau]

69. Well I didn't know what they were, but

it didn't sound too tasty to me. Now I know why. There are several recipes calling for cooter. Sounds vulgar!

[Hugin]

21. How's about "Fried Potato Salad"?

Mine is best!

COLD FRIED CHICKEN NOW!

[redqueen]

30. Never heard of that one...

sounds interesting, though...

[Hugin]

38. Tasty too...

All it entails is frying the potatoes cottage style
and then mixing in the usual potato salad sauces and
goodies.

Try it for a change sometime.

[Cannikin]

15. Flour and Lawry's seasoned salt ONLY! Do you hear me?!?!?

[Zuni]

Lawry's?!?! What are you, Amish?

Old Bay on them chicken legs will spice it all up nice. :9

[underpants]

33. I can't cook and I know that you use flour--crackers?? that is stupid

probably done by stupid people cooking stupid in the stupid way the do their stupid things like stupids.

[El Fuego]

20. What about the GRAVY?

You gotta make gravy! And mashed potatoes!

MMmmmmm this thread is making me hungry.

[Shell Beau]

26. No joke!! Mmmmm!

[MissMillie]

23. I haven't made any in a long time

maybe after I get settle in the new apartment

[johnnie]

31. There is only one true fried chicken

Anyone who says different has no real taste for true American cooking:

[redqueen]

32. ....

I'm just gonna sit here quietly and wait for the PETA crowd.

:popcorn:

[name not needed]

39. wont somebody please think of teh chickens!!!!!!1

:popcorn:

[johnnie]

47. Oh..... I got something for them too

*Disclaimer. No animals were hurt or in danger by me while posting these pictures. Before I get toasted on here, I just want to point out that I am going along with the original thread.
I think I might put disclaimers on all my posts from now on.

[flordehinojos]

45. sorry, my aunt bev's in rural town, mississippi.

good with tomatoes from uncle l's tomato patch along with warm butterbeans, and biscuits and honey...or white rice and chicken gravy.

true southern style honey

[johnnie]

51. *drool* Oh man that sounds good...

But!! It can be finer than the Colonel's.
Especially with a big helpin' of that homemade slaw!




*Disclaimer- The food you mention sounds like heaven, but in keeping with the OP, I have to stick with KFC right now. But save me some of that real chicken... please:)

[flordehinojos]

57. sounds good--will do.

[Shell Beau]

70. Sounds yummy! What part of MS?

[flordehinojos]

71. not too very far away from the vicksburg area.

[Shell Beau]

72. I know the area well.

My in-laws live in Bovina which is near Vicksburg. I also used to have to do some work in Vicksburg. I live about 40 miles from there, too!

[flordehinojos]

78. my mother's family are more in the HINDS COUNTY area.

.. i am in Florida.

[NawlinsNed]

75. And it's spelled P-O-P-E-Y-E-'-S

Anyone who says different has no taste.

[Modem Butterfly]

36. Rachel Ray makes hers out of Kielbasa...

She says they're pretty much the same thing...

[Zuni]

40. wha?

:popcorn:

[Modem Butterfly]

43. It's from the Giada de Laurentis thread

Sorry to be confusing.

[redqueen]

46. But Rachel's so hot!

That's gotta count for something, right?

:P

[Zuni]

49. I am so with you there

:9 rachel

[Modem Butterfly]

53. Well, that and a pound of chorizo substituted for kielbasa...

Will get you a case of indigestion...

[redqueen]

56. Or a "cooking" show on cable TV.

79. you really need to let this go.

Grow up already. :eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

44. Crushed potato chips of course...

:eyes:

[flvegan]

55. Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch!

Faux chicken is the best, and nobody gets hurt.

You wanted a flamewar, and what would a flamewar be without the token veg* chiming in, eh?

[Ekirh]

60. You know,

When I go out with my vegetarian friends to eat I gotta admit, Faux Chicken isn't all that bad at all.

65. You're all wrong you chicken slaying heretics!

When you all die and the great Poultra pecks your eyes out, you will regret eating her many squaking children, no matter what you heathens breaded the martyrs' cadavers with!

All hail Poultra! For he who is pure as the egg shelters beneath her wing, but the wicked shall feel the wrath of her beak forever. -Chickens 19: 95

[Hugin]

67. Yeah... yeah... yeah... I'll bet Poultra roasts up just dandy.

Like all the rest.

[LeftyMom]

68. Heretic!

I can't believe you're insulting my religion!

:pouts off:

[Left Is Write]

73. Oh, my heavens.

:popcorn:

[JVS]

74. Cornflakes forever!

I remember the original quite well!

[BikeWriter]

77. WHAT? That's no way to fry chicken! If it ain't flour it ain't right!

[nini]

80. What we need is to let old flamewars die

:eyes:

[sendero]

81. I like me some fried chicken...

.... but I smoked a couple with oak and mesquite this weekend and damn damn DAYUM they were good.

One was soaked in brine, the other had the 2/3s full beer can shove up it.

They were both excellent! Low fat too!!!!!

So you can keep your saltines and your corn flakes:)

[Moderator]

82. Locking

I would say this fried chicken flame war has gotten out of hand. While it started in fun, some posts became personal attacks and others were inappropriate. Thanks for your understanding.
