For some reason my husband finds chicken and waffles the most disgusting thing on earth. We make waffles every weekend (the kids love them, and they're easy) so I always thaw out a small frozen bowl of chicken and gravy to put on mine. I hate waffles with butter and syrup.

I was surprised to see that a lot of people don't eat lima beans. I was raised on them (the big butter beans as we call them). I guess that it's a southern thing. As for the little green lima's I wouldn't eat those on a bet. To me they taste like your eating grass.

I agree with your husband.. chicken and gravy on waffles??? But chicken and gravy is OK on a biscuit, and a waffle is just kind of a flat scored biscuit..........Unorthodox, but I see the point.....

Mayonnaise, cottage cheese, sour cream, hollandaise sauce and any cheese that is blue, "bleu" or smells like a hobo's feet are off limits. Honestly, most of those things are just rotten food. Why would you eat them?? I used to have the same aversion to alfredo sauce and cream cheese (are we sensing a theme?) but unfortunately for the size of my boo-tay I got over it. I'm sorry. I can't be friends with you anymore.

I don't do seafood, except for fish sticks (which I smother in ketchup) and canned tuna. I really miss tuna.

I agree with your husband.. chicken and gravy on waffles??? Don't knock it til you've tried it. It's freaking delicious. I think it's a regional thing, though. I'm from NEPA where they hold regular church-function chicken and waffle dinners. I once had a boyfriend from CT that had never even heard of chicken and waffles.

Limas are only meant to cooked from dried beans with ham, and eaten with cornbread. That's yummy.
Butter beans are just nasty no matter how they start out. They don't taste like limas at all to me.

There are foods I don't eat (like any meat), but the idea of it isn't gross. The only "food" that I can think of that is revolting is tripe. BF tried some of it and I made him drink a full glass of soda (it was most readily available) and made him brush his teeth before he kissed me again.

Chicken and waffles is a southern thing. I hear it started because the musicians would get off work somewhere between very late at night and very early in the morning, so restarants would feed them fried chicken from the night before and waffles, which were coming up on the breakfast menu.
There is a soul food place here that does the chicken and waffle thing. The special is like 2 huge pieces of friggin awesome fried chicken, 2 huge waffles and a bowl of grits. It is enough food for 2 or 3 meals as far as I'm concerned. (Gee southerners, let me help you figure out why you are overweight...) But, I couldn't wrap my brain around the concept - but went anyway. I dream of that meal.

To me, Limas are just smaller and harder than their bigger vile brother.

Tripe is good if it is cooked well and seasoned properly.

yeah, tripe is pretty nasty-sounding. Pretty much any animal innards sound gross to me.

Come on!! We'll keep you!
As long as you don't tell us how we're doing everything wrong because that's not how it was done "back home". Those are the ones I want to volunteer to help pack.

You can't have too much gravy though or the waffles get soggy. You need the right amount of shredded chicken and just the right amount of gravy to keep the waffles crispy. Damn, if it wasn't Wing Night Wednesday, I'd so be making waffles for dinner now.

Tripe is good if it is cooked well and seasoned properly. I was going to mention tripe. When it was cooked in my house when I was younger, I would HAVE to leave Also, liver, tuna fish, calamari, chicken gizzards, prime rib or any other "rare" beef, icing... I do like mustard. I put that on anything that mayo would typically go on. I actually do not have any mayo in my house. I also don't have any sweets in my house. I am one of those weird women that don't crave sweets or even chocolate. The only time that chocolate is in my house is at Halloween and Christmas. I find I am throwing it away at Easter.

I like sausage gravy and biscuits.. I'm sure the chicken and gravy is good over biscuits.. it's the sweet and texture of the waffle I'm having trouble with. How do you make waffles?! I've never had waffles that were sweet...

I keep forgetting Florida is considered The South. Stupid, I know, but when I think of Florida I automatically think of all the old people who moved there from the Northeast.

I've never had waffles that were sweet... I go to the freezer dept. at the grocery store and get the yellow box marked "Eggo Waffles."

It goes without saying to me that the waffles must stay crisp. Chicken gravy is a maybe. My favorite gravy is the white pepper gravy. that's what I usually have with chicken. After reading MM's post, I want some biscuits and sausage gravy
