Going get me some of those wrap when we go back shopping. Yes, I like cabbage.
| FOOD I'm in the mood for a food thread. If it's boring? I don't want to hear about it. A twist on something? Yeah.

Typically, it is a side, but it's a decent plant-based protein...less so than the peas themselves. If I were picking, I'd have turnip/mustard greens with them and let the pot likker soak into them. I eat chow chow with blackeye and pintos, so that works. If having a meat, I'd go with hamburger steak, meatloaf, fried chicken, really anything.
As an aside, sometimes when I'm traveling and really hungry I'll hit a Cracker Barrell. They have a "Beans and Greens" item on the menu which is just the side size for the pintos and greens. I don't order that. I order the bowl of beans and the bowl of greens. There's more than enough ham in each to not even want a meat, and the cornbread and chow chow add nicely to it. If I'm not starving, I'll get just one bowl and a side of the other.
Cracker Barrell's quality and portions have declined over the years, but those two still work for me.

@It Takes Eleven I have had their breakfast dishes, to go, a few times. I can't eat there. No. I won't eat there. The atmosphere just drives me nuts. I don't want to sit and eat with 30 or more people around me that I have no clue who they are.
It's about the ambiance. Some places you can slide into a booth and mentally dismiss the place. You can't at Cracker Barrell.
It's on the same lines as the reason I stopped going to breakfast bars at a few places. You used the word "haunts" the other day. I like those. Just like the gas station food thread...you find one, you go back.
Don't get me wrong. Their food is pretty good. BUT.
I have to hit Ashley Phosphate to get to one. No. There's one on Hwy. 17. Another no. I HATE those streets. No. Let me change that. I hate the drivers on those streets.
This one is a bit of a pain to get to...but I'll go here quicker than CB. @Krimson look at their seafood omelet.

I'd have to nix the shrooms but that looks legit. Those grits read well too. Looks like a place I'd like to try.@It Takes Eleven I have had their breakfast dishes, to go, a few times.
