I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
1. Is Krystal good? Should I go to a Krystal?
2. If I'm getting food from a country restaurant that offers the platters with an entree and sides, what sides should I get?
3. I've heard Alabama has a mayonnaise-based bbq sauce and the idea of that makes me want to throw up. But is it actually good?

Feel free to give me any other advice.

1. No.
2. Fried pickled okra or green tomatoes are standard.

Pimento cheese is just cheese with mayo and cream cheese and some peppers or whatever. Everything has mayonnaise in it. If it comes from the ground it must be battered and cooked in oil. Grits are just corn, butter, salt and milk. If you order a fountain drink it will be 75% ice.

bitch better have my chex mix

1. Krystal is the burger equivalent to Taco Bell, barely food but good if you're drunk. I downed a dozen sliders my first time there, the next day I had the most urgent poo poo I had in my life and barely made it without paying the brown price.

2. Fried okra, okra and tomatoes, cornbread, collard greens, mashed potatoes but only with white gravy (not brown gently caress that poo poo).

3. Never heard of it but I'd try it why the gently caress not?


edit: vvvvvvvv gently caress yeah cheese grits, black eyed peas can be hit or miss for such a simple side; it's weird.

The best South in terms of food is South India.

You should eat some Idli's and Sambar. Also, get yourself some Rassam, and eat it the proper way, by drowning the rice in Rassam and pouring in some potato crisps.

Finish it all off with Gulab Jamun, and you've had a fine meal.

Next time you can have a Mysore Masal Dosa.

Ask them if you can get your pulled pork sloppy wet with sauce like a dick juicing after a thirty day nut fast. It's the accepted southern phraseology. Add "And keep the dick stirring in the fat bussy" for a pinch of chili flake.

1) Krystal's is an excellent place to go if you like food poisoning

2) get fried okra, green beans or collard greens but it's important to know that most of the vegetables will be worse for you than the mains because of how much butter/grease that they use

3) white sauce is a thing, most people like it on chicken but if you're ordering chicken at a bbq restaurant you've already hosed up so you might as well douse it in mayo you animal

some obscure reference
Do yourself a favor and ask around for a place that sells 'cat's head' biscuits. It is very likely that it will also be a gas station, but don't let that fool you. I recommend the pork tenderloin biscuit, if availible. Also get some gravy to dip it in.

I've lived in Alabama for 30 years, so obviously I am the foremost authority.

1. Is Krystal good? Should I go to a Krystal?
No. It's wanna-be White Castle. My wife had the worst food poisoning of her life after eating at Krystal. Also, while there are several in Alabama, it's a Georgia chain.

If you want Alabama-centric garbage food that's actually tasty, find a Milo's. The greasiest burgers imaginable.

2. If I'm getting food from a country restaurant that offers the platters with an entree and sides, what sides should I get?
Southern-style green beans. Full of fat and bacon and all kinds of poo poo that doesn't belong there but somehow makes it better.

3. I've heard Alabama has a mayonnaise-based bbq sauce and the idea of that makes me want to throw up. But is it actually good?
No, not actually good. Many BBQ places here offer it, but it's not the default at most of them. Ask first.

Also, this. Nobody here gives a poo poo about COVID. Anything that's open is packed, and half the people aren't bothering to wear masks because MAH FREEDUM.

Not Alabama, but one of the best breakfasts I ever had was at a Miss Shirley's in Maryland. It was basically every stereotypical Southern side dish (grits, collard greens, okra, et al) scrambled up with eggs. Delicious.

I dunno what this is, but it isn't good and Maryland isn't Southern by any stretch.

Having grown up in the southernmost point of Maryland, it's 100% a southern state. Also the Klan had made a revival there.
