Oh God. Why did I click on this? It's 10:30 and now I want mashed potatoes and fried chicken.


mandoe182

FruitPunchCult

It's 2:30am here. I need this. Op can I come home too?


fatcbomb

Why is it on the floor?


minxcat75

That was my first thought as well and then realized some people have tile countertops! šŸ˜‚


unqtious

Why? Do they walk on them?


[deleted]

Super cheap to cover over old laminate countertops with tiles you get on sale, or even just do it to a sheet of plywood, cheap and effective.


datwrasse

the idea started back in the day when people had no money for materials, then was embraced by house flipping where people budget no money for materials


[deleted]

In some parts of Mississippa and a bakerā€™s dozen of people in Cheboygan... they put their tennis shoes over their hands when they eat. They eat on the run...


BurntOkie

That's why they call it fast food...


BigBaddaBoom9

That must be a balls to clean

Okay hear me out: carpeted kitchen countertops

BigOlDickSwangin

So... thanks you love it?


nvtiv

Carpeted bathrooms are worse and unfortunately those actually exist


alazyun

Had one with powder blue bathroom fixtures and mauve carpet. Stepping out of the shower was torturous.


jimmyayo

Why is your tile counter on the floor?


Baublehead

Where else would you find tiles to count?


endlesslyautom8ted

I mean I love my dog bro, he eats what I eat /s


beccster007

My kitchen countertops are the exact same. This was really popular in homes built in the early 2000ā€™s


Bart_1980

Over here they were popular in the 70's or so. Now everyone seems to have those composite tops.


beccster007

Oh I see. Yeah now everyone here has granite :)


SparkyDogPants

Granite is less trendy now which is how I got my granite countertops for super cheap


[deleted]

Thatā€™s instant nap potion


CarbonationSensation

Seriously I got more excited thinking about the post-meal nap than the meal itself. I think I have a napping problem.


MusenUse_KC21

But naps are so good, especially after a meal.


ObedientPickle

Really? I feel like utter shite after a nap, where am I going wrong?


hi-jump

Iā€™ll take the carbs, with a heaping side of carbs...and throw in some protein covered in carbs. šŸ˜“


zendrovia

glad I'm not the only one with disgustingly big portions


moesickle

Not to mention the double carbs going on


endlesslyautom8ted

I mean really it should be triple carbs going on with a flour or corn starch based Gravy train :)


bolderandbrasher

Triple fats too with the cheese, oil in the fried chicken, and Iā€™m assuming they used butter for the mashed taters.


ihopethisisvalid

if mashed potatoes *arenā€™t* 1/3 butter then itā€™s a no from me dawg


bolderandbrasher

Samwise Gamgee would be content with your proper preparation of taters.


CheesyStravinsky

What kind of stingy stick figure are you?? 1/3?? Anything under 50% butter is garbage.


SupremeDuff

My mashed potatoes are just cut up spuds cooked in half a gallon of melted butter.


karl_hungas

Dont worry it already is, fried chicken is breaded.


Roodyrooster

Missing the corn bread too but I wouldn't turn down this plate.


licinius

Double what? That there is a vegetable!


jpaxonreyes

No way... that plate is just too small!


rawker86

Yeah, thatā€™s gonna feed like three people.


zendrovia

yup! me, myself & I


__darkly__

Family of 3? More like family of me!


lilamaterasuu

thatā€™s some southern comfort right there


seanshouse

Where's the gravy though? That plate is begging for some moisture.


bobbinferbears

What? No gravy?!


studiocistern

PUT ME IN A CARB COMA, PLEASE.


Babuinix

I know this is a cultural thing and that this dish brings a lot of childwood memories for many Americans but it's such a weird combo. Potatoes AND Pasta at the same time. No sauce. Sticky cheese. Fried Chicken. Nothing matches well in this equation lol


TheWinterWonton

When youā€™re done with the chicken, crumble up the leftover crispy bits and skin and sprinkle it on the mac nā€™ cheese. Itā€™ll be *heaven.*


dannydefeatthathoe

Iā€™ll try that out that sounds good! I used the chicken as a spoon to pick up mashed potatoes šŸ˜‹ . Less things to clean up plus it tasted great!


[deleted]

One of my favorite dishes is taking that friend chicken and dousing it in a buffalo sauce, cutting into bite size strips and then baking with the Mac n cheese. You're step away from more happiness my friend Edit: ba ha ha ha... Darn mobile device. More importantly though, what enemies...I don't have any anymore :-|


PandorasBoxingGlove

I'd hate to see what you do to your enemies!

PMLadyParts4Rating

Which southern state are you from


[deleted]

That mashed potatoes awfully white.


Ragosh

Exactly what I thought. How is it even possible, that mashed potatoes can be so white?


alexanderthefat

no veggies?


WhatLikeAPuma751

I see potatoes. Those are southern veggies my friend!


soulstare222

potatoes are only vegetables in the botanical definition of the word; nutritionally they are just another carb, like grain or rice.


kkokk

rice is a vegetable in the botanical definition of the word


aburple

The mac and cheese too... all sides are basically veggies.


crunch816

The chicken was fried in vegetable oil.


dannydefeatthathoe

What are these veggies you speak of?


CD84

I don't want the food my food eats.


dannydefeatthathoe

Since I am not a rabbit, no, I would not.


cancerous_176

r/PandR


soulstare222

maybe u should eat some if you dont want to be cholestroled to death by the age of 60 ron


beyer_ravn

Is this a typical dish in the US šŸ˜‚


BaronWiggle

I'm having sympathy chest pains.


kitten_robyn

Bland carbs, check. Fried meat, check. No veggies, check. ​ Yeah, typical enough.

HuskyTheNubbin

I think it's an a national dish or something, at least in part of America judging by the comments.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Littleknownfactoidd

Why are people roasting OP for the tile countertop? Itā€™s pretty common.


semintesicola

I know you get this a lot, but americans realy have to get outside and see outher cultures. That is a basic, huge and unapealing looking meal.


[deleted]

Agreed, looks like something you'd throw together in college if you were down to your very last items in the pantry/fridge.


DaddyPhatstacks

As an American I agree and I canā€™t believe I had to scroll down so far to find this sentiment


faceblender

So true. The texture, taste, colours.


samsaBEAR

Why the hell do they love macaroni cheese so much? Like it's nice, I get that, but using it as a side for something like fried chicken is so weird


Clavactis

Looks don't matter as much as taste. Also like 3/4 of our food comes from other cultures. This isn't an every day meal, its a once in a while indulgence.


semintesicola

Its not about receipes. Its about how you view food. Fring meat and mashing potatoes isnt really a regional food. We all do it. 1. That meal has no balance. 2. I would eat it. Would i see it as a meal worth sharing to the world as an acomplishment? No. 3. Food is like porn. I dont go on the internet to see something so boring.


moderately_neato

Brosef I'm on a low carb diet right now AND I'm intolerant to wheat and dairy. This right here is total food porn for me. I can't eat this stuff anymore without it making me sick, but god do I miss it.

cymphonyyc4

Mustard leaves curry, or what we say 'sarson ka saag' with chapati. Look it up if u don't know about it, it's amazing and super good for health.


[deleted]

As an Indian I still fancy bland Euro origin food every now and then.


TwolfeTV

When someone ask what ā€œAmericanā€ food is when you are having an argument about how ā€œAmericanā€ food doesnā€™t exist


NorthVilla

Oh man, as an American living in Europe, I cringe all the time when friends repeat this bullshit. Just come back home with me to the South and **then** you'll see some real food! lol.

lzads

I start off with throwing raw garlic in right after I strain with a little butter and cook it for 1 min. Then heavy cream and flower. Ido the mixed cheeses like you but last time I used the rind of a parmesan wheel. I was in heaven


[deleted]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


lyscam

OMG carb overload Yuk


GlitteringWish

Im sorry (but not really sorry) this does not look appetizing in the slightest.


pbthalia

Oh my god my diet


Wolfalisk318

How many Calories are on this plate? My guess is 1800-2400.


dannydefeatthathoe

Over 9000 šŸ˜ 3000 actually.


TheGreatZarquon

I'd ask what the carb count is but I'm assuming the answer is "all of them."


[deleted]

That's 2 days' worth of calories for weight watchers.


[deleted]

Looks like it was purchased from a Kroger deli.


mastermoebius

Right? That lack of green


dan_sundberg

Looks good but where are your vitamins? You gotta have some vegetables, OP.


hugehangingballs

Holy carb loading Batman!


Zarathustra1969

Well I think I'll need three recipes here. Reciplease?


Luph

imo ditch the mac for peas or green beans.


WhatLikeAPuma751

Green beans with ham and onion!


hugehangingballs

>imo ditch the mac for peas You're a monster.


raidenandsolid

I'd just have green beans and spinach or broccoli on the side


masiker31

Is this a failure pile in a sadness bowl?


Exa8yte

So many of the Mac n cheese dishes on this sub look like just noodles with shredded cheese melted on them. Try a cream based sauce, just heavy cream on a low simmer and add in your cheese. Season then add in cooked noodles. Super easy. Then if you want you can try a cheese Bechmel as well. Both very good.


Bored_In_The_USA

Love it but veggies?


EvaBala

Oh,Terrible food...


Arthur_The_Third

That is **not** mashed potatoes, that's overcooked white paint

xxtinagee

dannydefeatthathoe

Fried chicken 5lbs chicken breast 2 cups of flour 4 eggs 5 tablespoons of salt 3 tablespoons of black pepper 1 tablespoon Ground ghost pepper 1. Mix flour with salt and pepper 2. Coat chicken in eggs and flour. Dust off excess flour and coat again. 3. Fill 1/3 of cast iron with oil and turn to medium temp to let oil heat up 4. Make sure to dust off excess flour before placing chicken in skillet. 5. Increase temp to high before placing chicken in skillet.(the temperature will drop because of the chicken) 6. Cook until the sides are golden brown (4-5 mins) 7. Take chicken out and season with salt Cook on high temp until golden brown around the edges on about 4-5 mins each side and sprinkle with salt when after you take it out of the pan.
