Mmmm... lard!

[Matt]

yeah, it's not exactly the healthiest way to eat Walleye, but it sure is the tastiest.

94. Mashed Turnips These were as much a part of Thanksgiving & Christmas Holiday meals at Mom's table as Turkey, Stuffing & Mashed Potatoes. These 4 things were ALWAYS present; another veggie may have been added to that quatrain, but they were always the core group. melt some butter on top and add a bit o' gravy. . . the salty/sweet interplay of the butter, and the savory, herbal tones of the gravy intertwined with the pleasant root vegetable bitterness of the turnips themselves deliciously. The only drawback to them, IMO, is that they're such a bitch to cut up and peel. hence their being reserved for the holidays, for the most part. But their scarcity made them, much like black cherries in my youth, that much more special.

I'm sorry; did you mean to add this as # 94?

[Lisa]

I think it was meant in response to #93. Or as dip for #92.

95. Kowalski's (grocery store) French Vanilla muffins. I used to work at the salon in one of the grocery stores and would get these muffins all the time - they are DELICIOUS and as big as your head almost. OMG I WANTONENOW!

Hard boiled eggs wrapped in sausage meat, breaded and deep-fried.

I fucking had 2 helpings of these fucks. GOTDAMN. GLORIOUS. I honestly could have eaten a dozen. They don't look good, but they are fucking tasty.

96. Corndogs
Earlier we spoke of Caviar. Later we may speak of pate'. Tonight, my dear friends, let me bring you back. Back to the place, where we skewer a hotdog, dip it in batter, and deep fry the everloving bejeezus out of it. Let this be our night. We may dine in Paris one day soon, we may sup in Morocco, we may even feast in Argentina, but dear compatriots, tonight I wanna get my gotdamn eat on at the fucking state fair. Tonight, I want a corndog.

I think I just fell in love. Somebody I know, and I won't name names, doesn't understand my passion for corndogs. They're so fucking tasty, how can you not get the love?

97. Brownies
Again, another simple classic. I make mine from scratch using bittersweet chocolate or Dutch process cocoa, depending on what I have on hand. When we were kids, my mom would ask if we wanted girl brownies or boy brownies, which I didn't understand until I was almost in high school. But I prefer girl brownies, thank you very much.

[Ed Hocken]

I don't know why I really enjoy hot dogs, but I do not like corndogs.

Perhaps it was the horror of the school cafeteria that did me in.

[BillyG]

God I want brownies SOOOOOOO bad right now. My aunt always makes me two Christmas tins. One of brownies and one of fudge. I hurt so bad after.

[Captain Russ]

Corndogs are the lifeblood of the state fair.
