Why do I feel like the Executive Chef of the Cracker Barrel isn't a FTer and is not available to either confirm nor deny this?

What?? They have a secret menu like In-N-Out?:D

The next time I am dragged kicking and screaming into CB, I will take note.;)

One assumes incorrectly...

Indian pudding is a corn based version of English "hasty pudding," cracked or broken grains boiled or simmered in milk until soft. Making of hasty pudding w/ Indian corn is recorded in diaries of the Plimoth colony in the first generation of settlement... apparently independent of any southern influence.

Was your irony meter inactivated during your last browsing session?

You must admit the Pilgrims' Indian pudding must have seemed a bit savory until the first barrel of molasses arrived from the Islands. Maybe they used maple syrup. I can envision it now, molasses casks being unloaded on the long Wharf in Boston to the harbormaster's cry: "That one to Durgin Park for Indian puddling, the t'other to the distillery to further degenerate and deprave the Injuns!"

Agree.

I would go to Denny's before Cracker Barrel, and I hate Dennys...

Take it from one that has a habit of a little more than enough to drink the night before, I am an expert at fast cheap breakfast. CB is a distent third to Denny's. Number one in by book is Waffle House for the following reasons:

*Fast
*Cheap
*Fairly good food
*Waitstaff just out of Huntsville lockup with a tattooed tear under the eye eager to please
*Crispy hashbrowns with assorted 'fixen's' chili, cheese, onion etc
*You WILL be the prettiest one there
*Never had an attitiude going in with partner as my people seem to get at CB. Seems to be ingrained in the corportate culture.
*If your battery goes dead there will be a trucker with a jump close by
*The food cures what ever ails you from the sins of the previous night

I believe that you have, as they say in the vernacular, nailed it. Although you may be accused, I am sure unfairly, of not being used to comfort food ;)

The tear tattoo under the eye is the clincher by the way ^ But I didnt think people like that ever got out in Texas. :)

Never had better anywhere else. :D^
