Chicken fried chicken is pretty good also.  How about biscuits?  They are big around here along with grits of course.  Fried catfish is also a thing.  I "heard" goat is a thing in Texas sometimes.

Yup chicken-fried chicken is also popular here, and tasty.

Definitely yes on biscuits.  White cream gravy is the standard accompaniment, although sausage gravy can be found here and there.

Tons of fried catfish around here.

Goat is from the Mexican influence, typically BBQ'd goat kid which is called "cabrito."  It's delicious.  A handful of restaurants will carry it but it's more often found cooked in the backyard at family gatherings.

That was a funny segue from cabrito to fromage de chevre, but I like it.  I think the bite of the goat cheese would compliment the smoky sweetness of the meat pretty well, to be honest.

My favorite restaurant for cabrito in Austin closed because of COVID.  But there are a couple of others that also do it well.

There is a yuppy kind of place near us called South City Kitchen.  My wife doesn't care for it much, but I'm thinking of taking the French couple there, it's quite popular.

It's ostensibly upscale southern geared for the 30 somethings around here.  I'm still looking for an exceptional restaurant here.  I have not tried Gunshow yet.  We did Bacchanalia a while back, it is certainly very good.  It was $95 when we went, $110 now.  Aside from being good, the experience was pretty elevated.

France spoiled me I fear, even a village bistro kind of place, as you well know better than I.  We're headed back for two weeks in September, going to miss some games.

A retiree group is touring Perigord Noir down south, all inclusive kind of thing, for a week.  My wife hasn't been there either.  They are famous for truffles, and the Lascaux caves.

I don't think real rivalries start that way.

I guess?  If not liking HFCS is snooty, then I don't want to be un-snooty.

ok then youre officially snooty

dont worry bout BB I'll take care of it

Well I'm already a beer snob and a wine snob and a BBQ snob and probably a lot of other kinds of snob, so I guess I'm okay with adding ice cream snob to that list.

Youre a beer snob?

I hadnt noticed

I guess?  If not liking HFCS is snooty, then I don't want to be un-snooty.

Most HFCS has about the same proportions of fructuse to glucose, I know I can't taste any difference, but others say they can and I believe them.  I try hard to avoid fructose.   That has basically meant no dessert for me except on rare occasion.

I find I don't miss it really.  I go 1-2 days a week with no alcohol, that is a bit harder.  I don't get hangovers any more unless I really hit it hard, which I almost never do.  I don't get drunk any more either.  My liver seems to be conditioned.
