Your right in that it was my first time with catfish. Cornmeal I was brought with especially buttery polenta with lots of parmesan stirred in or poured on to a plate and topped with cinnamon sugar for breakfast. Never have I been served it raw anywhere in Europe. I was fully expecting to be served a piece of fish breaded in cornmeal, fried and golden looking.

I still don't believe you. Cornmeal is a very crunchy coating. It can still be quite grainy since it basically has not been rehydrated with any liquid. A piece of fish as you describe would be floppy and soggy without any stiff, fried texture. Nobody in the world would serve any kind of fish like that. This is sounding like an exaggerated Boveism.

I have been eating cornmeal one way or another all my life I do not need to be told what it is. Yes the fish was floppy because it hadn't been fried in the cornmeal as I have previously stated. The cornmeal had been applied afterwards which is why I complained as I am sure you would have done.

What did your American friends have to say about the fish after you left the restaurant? Had they never eaten anything cornmeal coated?

There were 14 of us and we were all out of towners, the US contingent came from California, Michigan, Portland Oregon, Minnesota, and Nevada. They did apologise (unnecessarily) it wasn't their fault.

Dare I say it, but we went to Stubbs BBQ a few days later and most had the burger and chips (fries). One had the chicken wings and when she cut into one it was still bloody. Shit happens. We did go to a brilliant Chinese restaurant and a Vietnamese restaurant which was very good just up the road from Gold's Gym.

I guess I'd feel pretty stupid, also, going to a BBQ joint and then
ordering a hamburger, which can be found anywhere.

It's a decent sauce, but I recently switched to Sweet Baby Ray's
for sauce and a Creole/Cajun rub.

I just opened a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's and it is really sweet. I
will get some Stubbs.

I liked TJ's Carolina style that I actually bought another bottle,
same with their parmesan ceasar dressing. I don't know if commercial
products are really getting better or my standards are lower these
days.

Your doctor should be the one drawing blood and testing it, not you.
I currently take .2mg Synthroid but you don't see me drawing my own
blood and testing it using my employers resources (as Kathleen has
openly admitted a few times).
