A new orleans shrimp poboy, with fresh french bread (haven't gotten
anything like it anywhere else) or oysters, or catfish, or roast beef
and gravy served "dressed" (lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo, hot sauce
and ketchup on the seafood) served with an ice cold beer is my favorite
meal in the world. Heck, even the chip butty (french fries with roast
beef gravy) po boy is great.
