She swore she would die when she was 92, because that’s when her mother and her grandmother died. She’s 97 now. Maybe those years she abstained bought us these last few years, but I should mention she’s going to be angry if she has another birthday!

Whatever promises to satisfy a hunger and level of intoxication large enough to consider consuming bar food.

 

8 orders of mozzarella sticks, a platter of nachos, 2 pizzas, 30 wings...whatever I've missed the most since last time.

I once sent at least 1 order back per day for like a half season straight at Jimmy's. I said they were freezer burnt. They said they're made fresh. I said I didn't believe them. They said I wasn't allowed to order them anymore.

I was watching Willard Scott announce all the people who turned 100 while I had breakfast before work one day. He announced a guy who lived on Hilton Head where we lived, so I perked up. I looked down at the newspaper in front of me, and the obituaries were at the back of the sports section, and there he was. So close!

Mozzarella Sticks, or Garlic Fries, or Loaded Potato Skins.

Back in the day, we had our local watering hole called "Shooters" and on Sundays, they would have $1 beers and 10 cent wings. We would honestly be in that place for a solid 10 hours watching football on the big screens, pounding beers and devouring at least 600 wings between the 6 of us.

 

The place eventually went out of business (i wonder why) and that bar is still the barometer (see what i did there?) for every other establishment i've ever been in throughout my entire life.

He's a weird pecadillo I have that I wonder if anybody else shares:

I never drink beer/booze and eat at the same time. 

I might eat a sandwich or three before I start drinking, and I will definitely raid the fridge at the end of the night when I'm done drinking.

But the fusion of tastes of food and drinks together ruins both of them for me so I never combine them. 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing I'm alone on this one?

We had a college bar that did “drinkin’ on Lincoln” on Tuesday nights.  Five dollars for all you can drink domestic drafts and well drinks all night.  They also had a wing special.  I can’t recall exactly, but I think they were 25 cent wings which was still a great deal at that time.

I think it was late in my junior year or senior year that NYS passed a law making this illegal.

Al? Is that you??? 

 

A housemate in college was that way, to the point that it got almost weird at times. It may be a thing.

And what would you have me do?
Seek for the patronage of some great man,
And like a creeping vine on a tall tree
Crawl upward, where I cannot stand alone?
No thank you!

Dedicate, as others do, poems to pawnbrokers?

Be a buffoon in the vile hope of teasing out a smile
On some cold face? No thank you!

Eat a toad for breakfast every morning? Make my knees
callous, and cultivate a supple spine,-
Wear out my belly grovelling in the dust? No thank you!

Scratch the back of any swine that roots up gold for me?

Tickle the horns of Mammon with my left hand, while my right,
too proud to know his partner's business,
Takes in the fee? No thank you!

Use the fire God gave me to burn incense all day long
Under the nose of wood and stone? No thank you!

Calculate, scheme, be afraid,
Love more to make a visit than a poem,
Seek introductions, favors, influences?-
No thank you! No, I thank you! And again
I thank you!

But to sing, to laugh, to dream,
To walk in my own way and be alone,
Free, with an eye to see things as they are,
A voice that means manhood- to c0ck my hat
Where I choose- At a word, a Yes, a No,
To fight- or write. To travel any road
Under the sun, under the stars, nor doubt
If fame or fortune lie beyond the bourne-
ever to make a line I have not heard
In my own heart; yet, with all modesty
To say: "My soul, be satisfied with flowers,
With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."

I am too proud to be a parasite,
And if my nature wants the germ that grows
Towering to heaven like the mountain pine,
Or like the oak, sheltering multitudes-
I stand, not high it may be- But alone!

Watching you other people making friends
Everywhere- as a dog makes friends! I mark
The manner of these canine courtesies
And think: "My friends are of a cleaner breed;
Here comes- Thank God! - another enemy!"

I can only eat certain things when I'm boozing...hence this entire topic so I hear where you're coming from

 

 

So last night I went to the Sabres game and before the game we stopped at a pub by the arena and I ordered a thing on the menu called "Transit Logs"

Basically pizza logs wrapped in Bacon and doused with BBQ sauce...man those were great!(The game not so much)

Thanks for the mention of banana pepper dip in the OP.

I'd never considered it before and am now digging around and assembling a recipe.

It sounds really good with some ground Italian sausage and a bit of marinara mixed in.

Wings and calamari

I don't think i could ever eat anything called Transit Logs.

 

It kind of reminds me of...........never mind.

It's good stuff!  Not sure how common it is outside of WNY but many bars and restaurants around here will have it on the menu

I have made a homemade version before that was really good too

I'm disappointed @HIT BY SPIKES hasn't chimed in here yet.  Where you at brother?
