Eating in the Midwest

Like thanksgiving for example I'll chunk up my turkey and toss some stuffing + mashed potatoes over it and then slather it in gravy making for something like you described. But that's really the only meal I do that for.

Of course last night I had a "Que Shoe" which consisted of a piece of Texas toast covered in half a pound of BBQ slathered pulled pork, with that covered with french fries, and then the whole thing covered in melted cheese. But it was a "Texas Style" bbq shack so I blame Texas for that sinful plate of heaven.

The horseshoe (hamburger or otherwise) is a fine meal, most people outside of IL who I describe it too think I'm making it up.

Me too, but I'd never do it in public. I'm also from the midwest and that's something I was taught was poor manners. Mind you, I do a lot of things that are "poor manners" so go right ahead and eat that way - I won't object.

that reminded me, i got reprimanded by my ex wifes gramma one christmas for mixing my turkey-stuffing-gravy-taters. she said it showed poor manners. she was from midwest too, hehe. difference is, id still do it in public. dont like how i eat? dont watch me.

It was pretty hard not to notice, I could hear the fast-paced *scrape clink clink* of the cutlery going mad on the plate. Once I looked over I couldn't help but watch. Besides, i was with my Mother and we had run out of things to talk about probably 5 days prior.

Yes, I did see it more with breakfast, but the majority of the time pancakes were involved. So it was usually pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns, all being chopped up together with some syrup and butter. Looked freaking disgusting to me.

lol i understand the running out of things to talk about thing, it usually amplifies things happening around you. i dont think id mix pancakes with eggs and everything, but eggs, sausage and hashbrowns isnt too out there for me.

Eh, can't be worse than ordering a bucket of chicken and just eating the skin.

if it was pulled pork it certainly wasn't texas style. in fact, if you tried something like that down here, i believe three rednecks who were dropping off their deer haul for processing would chase you out of the smokehouse.

I'll be damned. I had no idea the horseshoe was a central IL creation.

I am from the mid-west (born and raised there) and I don't know what the fuck you idiots are talking about. I have lived in little farm towns with 5,000 people up to the largest metro area in the region, Chicago.

I was in British Columbia once and witness some guy fucking another guy in the ass outside of a bar though. Is that some sort of local phenomenon? Do all the men there fuck each other in the ass or did I just see some local freaks or something?

hah, I knew it.

Also, OP, I've lived in Springfield, IL Bloomington-Normal, IL, West County St. Louis, MO and now Chicago and I've never heard of said food preparation... St. Louis is known for their large portions, however. They're a fat, lazy city.

Whoa, overreact much?

By the way the answer to your questions are yes and yes.

I mix my breakfast up like that in public. I don't shovel it into my mouth like it's my last meal or anything but being at Bob Evans or wherever isn't going to stop me from making my breakfast gloop.

Looks meh. Especially the pic with 2 slices of White "Bread". I'm sure it's fine, just kinda seems to be somewhat less than a real Burger and Fries.

I assure you that procured from a reputable establishment it is culinary bliss....followed shortly by an induced coma due to the stomach using all your blood to digest it.

About 2 thousand extra calories and a few hundred grams of fat.

I think it's fine with just the pulled pork. On fries? with cheese? WTF mate.

Sounds great, I try to eat 5,000-6,000 calories a day and it's really hard sometimes.

I'll have to take your word for it. If Montana's had such a thing I'd give it a try. Their Jack Daniels Rib Burger would likely make a good Base for such a thing.

Midwest born and bred and this definitely isn't normal behaviour. People normally just cut each bite as it's eaten, just like everywhere else.

From the midwest and the above is the same thing as I would say.

 

[zinfamous]

most consumables in Chicago come in sausage form. The whales here just shove the edibles into their mouths in one fell swoop. No need to cut and mix

Pulled pork? The only thing we do with pork here in Texas is fry it, barbeque it or rope it. Pulled pork? WTF.........

that is, perhaps, one of the most dreadful looking things that I have seen.

Surprised I haven't encountered one yet...
