Country Cuisine

I haven’t had any really good escargot in a coon’s age. It disappeared from the Waffle Barn a couple of menu updates back. I asked Jethro, the manager, about it and he gave me some line about getting a bad review in the "Swap and Shop" and deciding to concentrate on their "Core Competencies" for a while. I asked if that ment Possim and Coon Stew was comming back but he just looked at me like I was making him uncomfortable so I let it drop. I think losing the escargot had more to do with the customers getting creeped-out seeing snails crawling across the sidewalk outside and on the menu inside.

It probably isn’t practical to keep an item on the menu for just one customer, but I do miss it. It was such a good excuse to eat toast points dipped in garlic butter, and it went so well with the mountain oysters.

I guess I will just have to go back to biscuits and gravy for now.
