dano, bro, i've never understood the coleslaw on meat thing, I'm a chile-cheese-sauerkraut-bacon-mustard guy. when schuyler and afroblanca hung out with me in NYC we went for a pot induced pigout at katz's deli and afro put coleslaw on his corned beef sandwich. That's just wrong, man.
and FWIW, I don't like relish either, especially that neon green shit.
Yeah, my diet prolly has something to do with the fix I'm in. The urologist says I'm gonna have to collect my pee for 24 hours before the procedure to find out why I'm (as he put it) a "stone producer." He'll probably tell me to stop everything that gives me pleasure.
Everything? What are you doing in this thread then? *giggles*
I had acid reflux when I was in my early 20s. So bad it ate a hole in my esophagus. I had to quit putting jalapenos and tabasco on everything I ate for about 5 years, but after that was able to reintroduce the spicy side of life into my diet in moderation. Cooking for yourself rather than getting takeout and/or fast food can be tedious, but it sure hammers home diet concerns.
Actually, my taste for teh hawt came from my adolescence in New Mexico. You're right about the BBQ-Texas thing, but I loathe BBQ sauce. Gimme the habanero! Gimme the tabasco!
