I’m sorry this looks like dog poo from the beach to me

I could never eat meat in the morning as soon as I wake up, I find it very unappealing.

I guess it's an acquired taste

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think breakfast needs to be that immediate? The dish prepared here almost certainly took a minimum of 30, if not 45+ minutes to make, and there's no indication it was immediately after waking. Breakfast can be a bit later.

It's called brunch.

I ordered chicken and waffles at a small diner one time, it was my first time trying it. My server gave me half a chicken (literally) that had been deep fried and a pile of waffles that had to be at least 6 inches high. Best $13 I've ever spent but I've been afraid to order them ever since

Is this magical place still in business and can you point me in the general direction?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's been almost a decade since I've been there haha. It's on the corner of 207 and US1 in St Augustine. Google says it's a metro diner, which is a local chain. Not sure if it was a metro when I went there but I wish you well if you give it a shot!

A side of chicken gravy would make it complete.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Having grown up where gravy was the norm, it hurts every time I see a restaurant serving it without gravy as an option.

When I moved to California from the Midwest the first time I ordered chicken tenders they asked what sauce. I asked if they had gravy. I was looked at like a demented lunatic. She refused to believe I actually wanted cream gravy for dipping my chicken. I went with the no sauce option since apparently I'm a lunatic.

California has gravy as a side but only certain restaurants serve it that way. The trick is to see if they serve grits.

Wait, chicken and waffles come with maple syrup too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is a must.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They sure do in my kitchen. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Maple syrup is my favorite way. A local place used to do a cayenne and black pepper maple syrup, and it was delicious!

Sweet things and meat is very strange to see from the UK perspective

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean food with any amount of flavor or spices?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Just piling on, mint jelly on lamb? Honey or cherry glaze on ham? Applesauce with pork chops?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Orange/Lemon chicken?

Teriyaki anything?

Sweet and Sour pork?

Hawaiian pizza?

Lua pig?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You're talking to a Brit mate. They're not known for their culinary excursions.

Plus, half of those were invented in the US.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, curry is practically our national dish!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

They’re not known for their culinary excursions.

Raids and colonizes 3/4 of the planet for their spices... doesn't use any of them. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

An entire country built on culinary "excursions" lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.

Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Tbf, I hate all syrup

Ah, so you just can't taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can't help an inability to taste.

Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah I'm from the Great Lakes region and it's so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles... even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).

But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.

This just two otherwise regular foods served together.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Some British people enjoy these flavour combos. Not me, though, I consider pineapple a pollutant when on a pizza. No big deal though, I know loads of people enjoy it and fair play to em.

I love waffles - and these look great. I'd just want them after the meat course.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

I dunno, I’ve seen what a full English looks like! :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I’ve never done tendies from scratch, but can make a good batch of nuggies with a bit of panko.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

tendies
nuggies

~/s~

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I have a toddler, so those aren’t from scratch. But the waffle is. I love that little waffle iron!
