Dang Wade, that is very impressive. I salute you sir. šŸ‘

Best that I can do is a few creative things with MRE's.

I don't know about wine with mushrooms...though it definitely sounds like an idea worth stealing. :)

As for the meat for chili...I don't know what your dad did, obviously, but here's one easy way to get some extra taste. Take about half of whatever dry spices (non-salt) you use, and stir them into the ground/chopped meat beforehand with just a bit (tablespoon or less per pound) of lite olive oil (teaspoon or less if you use a darker oil). And let it sit for 30 minutes or more before you add it to the pot.

Another trick is to never add the meat until it is at or close to room temp. Obviously you never want to leave it out too long, especially with something like chicken, but letting it warm a bit releases something or other and you get more flavor from whatever meat you're using.

I really like good pasta dishes. Fettuccine Alfredo, Beef Stroganoff, Macaroni & Cheese, Baked Lasagna, etc. Rice or potato dishes run a close second.

What many of us need however are some good vegetable dishes. A succotash(corn, diced tomatoes, & butter beans) , or maybe String Beans seasoned with pork , or a nice pot of Collard Greens . Maybe Corn Cornbread(made with creamed corn) , a real treat served hot with real Butter.

And never forget to make that Ice-Tea well ahead of time so it can get cold in the Refrigerator. šŸ‘

I've not spoken against anything Northern, Southwestern, Gulf Coast, West Coast, Northwestern, or anyplace else. Do you hold some unlike for Southern States. Many people drink Iced Tea sweetened and unsweetened, it's an individual preference. I've never tried cheese curds or crawdads but I don't need to talk it down. You will find the same McDonalds, and Wal Marts, and J.C Penneys that one would find in Wisconsin, New York, Florida, or California, in the Southern States as well. I've enjoyed regional dishes and felt privileged to do so. I would not think of turning down well prepared Northern Pike (that I've never tried) any more than I'd turn down a plate of E.Carolina Bar-b-que . I don't care for garden peas, but I won't criticize someone that does. [boxing]

Pull back the 38th parallel please. Bless your heart.

My wife's family is from TN. I tell my wife that she may have been born in Chicago but she is TN through and through. My MIL is a great cook. I recognize the dishes you mentioned as being favorites in the South. That is all. I have a brother in SC and another in TN. One who lived in GA for awhile. My SIL is in AL.

All I said is sweet tea is a Southern favorite that I don't like. It is so popular that it has taken the North by storm too. Just like I don't care for instant tea either. Brewed or Sun Tea for me please.

We are heading back to TN for a visit over Thanksgiving. We will eat for a while and then some. Last time we were there we had lunch with one of my wife's Aunts/Uncles. He was a minister in a small church and one of the lady's from the congregation made a deep dish apple pie in a cast iron pot. MAN!!!!! That woman can bake. There was no a single diet substitute in that pie. The butter would just about plug your arteries just by looking at it. I wished I could have had seconds but there was not enough for that after he gave everyone a little piece.

Instant Tea never came to mind. Your unclear post sounded like you thought Tea disgusting and sugar was just piling on. Too many people post their intolerance along with their low IQ. Sorry I misunderstood your post.

Got a good chili recipe ? [grin1]
