I love chicken and waffles... but as a potato chip flavor? No thanks!

Chicken and waffles together? Is this a Southern thing?

Soul food. It's originally from the Dutch (slave trade).

I was at a chain restaurant called Cheddar's a couple weeks ago and
they had it on the menu. I opted for the Monte Cristo.

Monte Cristo! There's a sandwich I rarely see on a menu. I
occasionally bought one at a pub in east Memphis. They're delicious!
but not something to eat often.

When I was a kid, one year in my bag of Halloween candy
I got a small wrapped yellow hard candy labelled
"chicken bone". It was so bad I had to go to the toilet
to spit it out along with as much saliva as I could,
followed by washing my mouth out with copious amounts of
water. That was about 45 years ago, and I remember it
like it was yesterday. Better than yesterday, actually.
What did I do yesterday?

I can only guess there was a sociopathic confectioner
somewhere that set out to create most vile hard candy
the law would allow. I suppose it was just chicken
boullion added to the molten sugar.

Was it a Chick-o-stick? I know there is coconut involved in those, but
no chicken flavor.

That was probably a good choice!

I had always been curious, because the chicken and waffle combination
is so unusual and finally had the chance to try it.... now I'm looking
forward to ordering it again. The waffles were made with cornmeal and
yes, it was *that* good.

My daughter tried and didn't like. I did not try.

Maybe a black thing? They were big in Oakland.

My MIL is the first one who mentioned this dish to me. I can't remember
what she was cooking that night for dinner but it was either something I
didn't like or as I remember it, I just really wasn't very hungry and maybe
wasn't feeling well. I opted to have a frozen waffle instead. Just the
waffle. She asked me if I wanted some chicken on it. I thought that
sounded strange! But she said, no, people often ate chicken and waffles.
So I said, "How is it done?" Her answer was just that it was chicken and
waffles. So I wrongly assumed that it would be something like pieces in
chicken in gravy poured over the waffle. That still sounded strange to me
but more doable than what I later found it it really was!

The combination of fried chicken with bones in it and syrup on top just
seems wrong.

OMG! What were in those things? My parents loved them! I think I tried
one once and only once. Gagaroni!

I also never understood those Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. I talked my
mother into buying those once even though the told me that I wouldn't like
them and they were really disgusting. They actually weren't disgusting and
I kind of liked them although I am not a big cracker person. But I was
sorely disappointed because I was at the age where disgusting food appealed
to me. I really expected this cracker to somehow have chicken in it or at
least a chicken flavor. And it did not.

I remember those too but think they were different. At least they were a
different size. I think perhaps the bones are still being made. Lemme
see...

Yep. Different. And now I see why I didn't like them. Butterscotch. Hate
that flavor!

http://www.oldtimecandy.com/chicken-bones.htm

never tried one and I think I wouldn't try eating it since you mention it taste awful.

The combo seemed weird to me too... until I tried it and it was served
with *real* maple syrup too. So, don't knock it until you've tried
it. On second thought, don't try it. You won't like it, so save
yourself the bother.

I've never been given anything that someone called chicken bones, but
those look and sound familiar. You're right, they're good. Maybe
it's where they got the peanut butter filled pretzel idea from.

You should have, Julie.....seriously. Whenever I cooked a new food, my
daughter often didn't want to try is as it sounded bad or weird or whatever.
I didn't force her to eat it but I always insisted that she try just one
bite. If she didn't like it after that, no problem and I would never give
it to her again. Surprisingly though, she ended up liking maybe half of the
"strange" things that she thought she wouldn't like.

I still want you to try a Big Mac. Just one bite.
Then I will accept your judgement.

There is some semi-famous restaurant in the deep south that serves this and
people love the combination. I saw it on a documentary once.

Haven't had a box in years but I do like those....added to grocery list for

I looked them up. They had cashews and butterscotch among other things.
Although I can sometimes eat cashews now, they are not my favorite nut. I
couldn't stand them as a child and never could stand butterscotch.

I don't think I could try them. I think they have something in them that I
can't eat. I think a Big Mac does too. Doesn't it have cheese? Is there
egg in the sauce? If so, I can't eat it.

My daughter is always good to try new things. I am not so adventurous.

You can order a Big Mac without cheese but it will freak all the
workers out.

But doesn't the sauce contain something like mayo? If so, I couldn't eat
it.

It's secret sauce so not even I can tell you.

Well, that's something new since the old days. There were no subs with the
Big Mac at all. I haven't had one of those in many years.

They will do subs here- I have even ordered a cheapo cheeseburger with
the secret sauce instead of ketchup/mustard.

I just looked it up. Egg yolks. And a lot of crap! A lot of McD's food
has EDTA in it. Why? Why is this crap in our food!?

You can always get something not as is at McDonalds but most of the time
they won't get it right. Really throws them for a loop when you order
something with something left off.

I got tons of free food from them back in the 70's. It started with me
going through the drive through and asking for a plain cheeseburger. They
got it wrong so gave me coupons for free food. I didn't like their food so
much but my brother and friends did, especially when it was free. So they'd
beg me to go order a plain cheeseburger. We got many, many bags of free
food and drinks from doing this little trick. Once I even got a bun. Just
a bun wrapped in paper. Yep. It was that bad.

When I first read that, I thought it was subs as in a submarine sandwich.
Wouldn't surprise me if some locations do those. I remember the cross
country move we made where my husband would only stop at McDonalds for
lunch. Some locations had things I'd never seen anywhere else. Hot dogs,
soup, odd salads.

I'm sure they will now, but this was 25+ years ago, there were no additions
or substitutions on a Big Mac.

That is because today's fast food workers are so much better trained and
attentive.

You couldn't with the Big Mac in the old days, they wouldn't even leave off
the special sauce. Dunno if other franchises did or not, but that was the
way it was where I am.

I think my mom bought those a couple of times when I was a kid. Seems
to me they are flavoured with chicken bouillon powder or something like
that.
