I ordered chicken and waffles at a small diner one time, it was my first time trying it. My server gave me half a chicken (literally) that had been deep fried and a pile of waffles that had to be at least 6 inches high. Best $13 I've ever spent but I've been afraid to order them ever since

Is this magical place still in business and can you point me in the general direction?

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

It's been almost a decade since I've been there haha. It's on the corner of 207 and US1 in St Augustine. Google says it's a metro diner, which is a local chain. Not sure if it was a metro when I went there but I wish you well if you give it a shot!

A side of chicken gravy would make it complete.

[-] Xyre@lemmus.org 5 points 6 hours ago

Having grown up where gravy was the norm, it hurts every time I see a restaurant serving it without gravy as an option.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

When I moved to California from the Midwest the first time I ordered chicken tenders they asked what sauce. I asked if they had gravy. I was looked at like a demented lunatic. She refused to believe I actually wanted cream gravy for dipping my chicken. I went with the no sauce option since apparently I'm a lunatic.

Sweet things and meat is very strange to see from the UK perspective

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Orange/Lemon chicken?

Teriyaki anything?

Sweet and Sour pork?

Hawaiian pizza?

Lua pig?

You're talking to a Brit mate. They're not known for their culinary excursions.

Plus, half of those were invented in the US.

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

I dunno, I’ve seen what a full English looks like! :)

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Just piling on, mint jelly on lamb? Honey or cherry glaze on ham? Applesauce with pork chops?

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 hours ago

do people in the UK not like things like Teriyaki, or like americanized Chinese food like orange chicken?

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 6 hours ago

They definitely exist here, waffles just come across as quite dessert-coded to us. British Chinese cuisine is its own separate adaptation of Chinese cuisine though, rather than just being American Chinese.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago

You mean food with any amount of flavor or spices?

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago

Um, Tikka Masala is basically the national dish of the UK, they definitely enjoy flavor and spices in all kinds of curry dishes too

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 2 points 7 hours ago

Midwesterner here.... It's weird to me too.

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Yeah I'm from the Great Lakes region and it's so weird. I enjoy fried chicken, I dig waffles... even maple syrup on them is fine (though honey is better on chicken, esp truffle or hot honey).

But putting them together is like basically having double the breading on the chicken, except one half is crispy and the other half is all spongey and wrong. It dilutes the flavor of the chicken, and then why would I ever want a meaty waffle? The sum is far less than the parts IMO.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Very common in Chicago. You can get the basic or get some real posh ones without much effort

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

You guys got no place to talk with some of your creations. And especially some of the oddball names.

This just two otherwise regular foods served together.

[-] WHARRGARBL@fedia.io -1 points 7 hours ago

USAmerican here - I’ve tried that chicken waffle thing twice, and it’s pretty revolting. 1/10 would rather go hungry.

Tbf, I hate all syrup. Sorry, Canada

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Tbf, I hate all syrup

Ah, so you just can't taste well. What a shame. Disabilities should never be held against anyone, you can't help an inability to taste.

[-] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

Wait, chicken and waffles come with maple syrup too?

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

This is a must.

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

They sure do in my kitchen. :)

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 6 hours ago

Maple syrup is my favorite way. A local place used to do a cayenne and black pepper maple syrup, and it was delicious!

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 7 points 8 hours ago

I’ve never done tendies from scratch, but can make a good batch of nuggies with a bit of panko.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

tendies
nuggies

~/s~

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Oh yeah, I have a toddler, so those aren’t from scratch. But the waffle is. I love that little waffle iron!
