did i mention that fried malanga chips are ten times better than potato chips?  I'm going to have to take another trip to the mercado internacional down the street and pick up a couple of ripe ones.  Slice 'em and fry em' and toss in a little salt.  yum :p


are those bananas or plantains?  if so...yuk.

if they are sweet potatoes..... :drool:

Neither... it's a starchy root about the size of a football.  Looks like a coconut on the outside and a turnip on the inside.  In the US, they're mostly grown in Florida.  The tostones are fried plantains covered in roasted chicken, peppers, onion, spices, and melted cheese.  Sort of labor-intensive since you have to cook them twice and press them flat.  It's a good way to mash a finger if you're not paying attention. :-)

How about "Gut Rumblings B-Gone" ?

Maybe we can get BEG to design the color/decorating schemes.

I figure with, oh, about $2,496 and some gift cards from Bed, Bath & Beyond, we can make it happen.  :hyper:

One thing I ask - no wallpaper. I hate wallpaper, especially with those dumbass borders up at the top.  :banghead:

Hmmm, we have an unused kitchen at the VFW here in my town. I've been thinking of finding someone to run it. The hours would work quite well except we'd need some evening hours, like 17:00-20:00. The bar opens at 16:00, but we COULD open earlier if we got the clientele.

The VFW post in my old neighborhood was in a nice-looking building that would have made a good restaurant (minus the tank in the front yard).

I can do some serious cooking, but my physical capabilities aren't up to restaurant style cooking. Even so, I've considered re-opening that kitchen at the local VFW to serve up some tasty treats. However, every time I consider it, something happens to remind me that I'm a gimpy MoFo.....  :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

I hear you... I can't do that kind of work anymore because I can't see well enough to read the tickets. I'm making plans to have cataract surgery in a couple months.  I'd like to have my eyesight back.

I'm having a heart attack after reading Eupher's menu!  Thanks, there goes my resolution to eat a salad for lunch.  Now I can't think of anything but gravy and bacon.

While esthetically proper, those tanks have been de-Milled. It would be pretty tough to make them battle ready ever again.

I agree.  My kid would love it!  It could be a theme restaurant.  Call it "Meals, Ready to Eat."

You'd have to stuff powder down the barrel and then pack it in and then push in a cannon ball, dang that'd be time consuming.

Forget Mideival Times, you  guys could have Fort Munch! eeerrrrr... never mind, it'd turn into a hangout for butch lesbians.... not that there's anything wrong with that... lol

There's another restaurant in that area that was built to look like a WWII French cottage.  I don't remember if they have any military vehicles, but the food there was good when I worked there after high school.  It was family-owned at the time but I haven't been back since they sold it and went through a series of crappy business owners/management. 

They had good calamari.

Unfortunately. Besides, you guys just had a flood in that place!  :o

What's wrong with a military-themed restaurant? 

Everything is at least 5 years old, you use C-4 or MRE heaters to heat everything, and of course, the items on the menu should have creative and fun names, such as:

--Baboon's Ass (corned beef)
--Dreaded Breaded Vent Covers/Elephant Scabs ("meat" Parmesan)
--Cat turds (Beef Cordon Bleu)

and of course, who can forget such classics as:

SOS
Horsecock sandwiches
Bug juice

I'm tellin ya, it can't lose!

LOL, the "flood" has been remedied.  Have you ever been to Denison, TX?? It's not a bad place. Lake Texoma is nearby, as well as several camp grounds. Hunting isn't bad. Housing is fairly cheap. It DOES get hot in the summer, but that's what the lake is for (or a backyard pool). The worst part is having to put up with elderly & Oklahoma drivers. Of course, you might fit right in, Euphless.........   :fuelfire:

I dunno, Sparky. Reminds me too much of my days as a spoon. Besides, we're lookin' for all kindsa clientele, including both the truck drivers, nukes, construction workers, and illegals of course. And can't forget grandma. The after-church crowd is a huge moneymaker.

So to have "horsecock sandwiches" on the menu might prompt some questions from grandma that I ain't sure I wanna answer.  :naughty:
