Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) Not one of my personal; favorites, but it still has adherents in the Australian outback... Edited July 30, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy
crazyjim Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Knife & fork on a pizza? No way! Fold the slice before biting? No way! Are you people savages?
Dave Van Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 If you are near a COOK OUT and have nt gone....try it out. Good basic food and great shakes.1/4lb tray with fries and slaw w/large drink $5.....a deal!!!Small disclaimer.....my son is in management for the company....but we liked it long before he went to work for them. BTW great company to work for too.
SfanGoch Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 No to the first; yes to the second; yes to the third. How about a hot soft pretzel covered with salt and spicy brown mustard? Or a nice, cold refreshing piragua?
crazyjim Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Mustard on a pretzel? Must be a NY thing and not for the real world.
SfanGoch Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I could say the same about mayo on a roast beef, corned beef or pastrami sandwich. And, I know there are some of you out there who defile monuments to meat in such a blasphemous manner; so, don't try to deny it!
10thumbs Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Hello Luc,Yes, actually the fries should be called Belgian fries, and not French fries.Oui, I'd like a portion with mayo and pulled beef. Delicious.Greetings.
10thumbs Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I'd pass on mustard on a pretzel. Come on guys, get with the program. Hot butter at best. Better have a cool brew available though.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Heaven. They used to have a place here that made those. Alas, too Yanqui for the unwashed masses.
10thumbs Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 That looks similar to a German pretzel, just a little too light colored. Never heard of mustard on them though, my wife loves mustard, she'll dip the end in a mustard jar and grin like a thief. I like shredding a piece off and digging into a bowl of cole slaw (read kraut salad) then a bite off a hot simmered rindswurst with the thing dripping with mustard! Oh yeah! I has this pleasure just last Friday at one of those local trailer-ed grill stations downtown at the local market. Lots of local famous foods there, I love it.
Dave Van Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Never been to NYC but know about mustard on fresh pretzels!!! A hot pretzel with good mustard is a treat!
SfanGoch Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Bill, remember the good old days when bars had big jars of deviled eggs and bowls of hard boiled eggs behind the bar and bowls of , pickles, peanuts, popcorn and chips on the bar? Now a bar owner has to be sensitive to customers' allergies and that communal munchies are unsanitary. Alcohol is an excellent disinfectant.
Luc Janssens Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Hello Luc, Yes, actually the fries should be called Belgian fries, and not French fries. Oui, I'd like a portion with mayo and pulled beef. Delicious. Greetings. Many thanks for the endorsement Michael! Luc
10thumbs Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Joe, these old beer bars exist in Germany. A big covered bowl with hard boiled eggs, and a fat delicious sausage with a thick pickle and a cool brew. Yep, good stuff.

I was stationed in Mittelfranken for four and a half years. I always went to the places in located in small towns and villages because they had the best beer and food.

Never been to NYC but know about mustard on fresh pretzels!!! A hot pretzel with good mustard is a treat! When I was a kid, an old woman, who we called the "Pretzel Lady" sold fresh soft pretzels out of an old baby carriage outside the entrance of the neighborhood movie theater for a nickel apiece. NY Pretzel is located in Bushwick. They sell a bag of 20 pretzels for six bucks if you ask. A couple blocks away is the Joyva confectionery factory. Joyva makes stuff like halvah in different flavors, tahini and raspberry and orange jelly rings and bars. http://www.joyva.com/ 1
10thumbs Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 "Pretzel Lady". I can relate. Still around over here, the famous special foods folks. As modern as Old Europe would like to be, its great that the old country foods still rule. Everywhere I go in Europe, the basics are still there. Grab a quick sausage and/or really great portion of Belgian fries (the potato sort is most important!) and you're set to go. The hamburgers are useless here, but then I only like real home made burgers and nothing else.In southern Euro countries the meat foods diminish, then it really gets interesting, and unbeatable. The fast foods of Italy are just insanely delicious, with at most a slice of ham as far as meat goes. Pizza is only a starter, and only just a slight taste of what their cuisine offers.I would though, like to have a smeary face with some good BBQ.
Petetrucker07 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 When I'm down their way, The Hat. They have THE best pastrami sandwiches around. The chili cheese and pastrami fries are to die for.

Now a bar owner has to be sensitive to customers' allergies and that communal munchies are unsanitary. Alcohol is an excellent disinfectant.Yeah, pickled eggs and pigs feet here, too. And chitlins. Hard to believe that there weren't rampant epidemics of plague and all manner of flesh-eating diseases when things were so terribly unsanitary. OMG OMG !!!HOW did people SURVIVE ??? OMG !!!Oh wait...that was in the dim dark ages when people thought vaccinations were a good thing, everybody knew the Earth was a sphere, it was pretty spectacular to think that humans had actually walked on the Moon, and kids could write their names and make change.Now the illiterate checkout person at the Wallyworld is washing her hands after every transaction with "antibacterial" lotion, completely oblivious to the fact that she's contributing to the growing menace of known-antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are on the rise.

Petetrucker07 Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 And here is my favorite from Jack in the Box...the Chicken Tater Melt, Munchie Box.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Speaking of pastrami...I just noticed a new deli only about a block away. Wonder if they can do a hot pastrami on real rye (not the flavor-free soft mass that passes for rye bread from most grocers here). Or a righteous reuben. Or a braunschweiger and red onion. Or just a plain ol' corned beef and swiss. Gonna hafta find out. Edited July 31, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy

Or just a plain ol' corned beef and swiss. Gonna hafta find out. Speaking of a real good pastrami sangwich, this is what one looks like, courtesy of Carnegie Deli: nuthin' except two thin slices of crusty rye, piles o'pastrami with spicy brown mustard, a side of coleslaw, a whole lotta garlic dill pickles and a New York Egg Cream to wash it all down. Damm, Bill! Now I'm grabbing Junior and heading to Katz's Delicatessen on the Lower East Side (Carnegie closes in an hour. Katz's is 24/7) and get two!

We don't have the places like in New York, Chicago, Pittsburg and othets. One I thing I wish we would get out here are REAL Po'Boy sandwiches...with the chicken strips, french fries, mozzarella sticks, coleslaw, mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, a couple meatballs, ranch, pastrami...maybe a chocolate chip cookie or two. LoL.

SfanGoch Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Got back home with two pastramis on rye, pickles, two orders of coleslaw. I even brought my kid home. You really don't want to know what the damage was. I kid around with you guys about living outside of civilization; but, I honestly feel bad that you not having easy access to some things I take for granted like real delis, pizza places run by real Italians or even really good greasy spoon luncheonettes. I went nuts in Tennessee and Germany not being able to get a freakin' corned beef sandwich, nova lox with cream cheese on an everything bagel or even something as simple as dirty water dog with mustard, sauerkraut and onions. This stuff has been a part of my life and not having any of these around made me realize how much I really missed my old neighborhood, warts and all. I knew exactly how Henry Hill felt when he was in Witness Protection. Edited July 31, 2016 by SfanGoch
