Ahh...I don't know..I'm not into the bawdy stuff. I like cleverly funny stuff better, but sometimes that tends to confuse people--like chemistry jokes--"Introducing Ethyl and The Ketones! They're your basic group...here to sing their song 'The Double Bond!' Yahoo!" Oh well...at least it isn't jokes about quantum physics!

Hmm a cow chip?

If it's found in a field with cows and is round, brown, stinky and sends up steam in the morning air, we're talking about the same thing there, Hyperabid! Although, in the 'Chip' form, it is a rare thing indeed; capable of being burned for fuel OR being tossed like a frisbie at sports events.

Nettle champ is a simple dish. First pluck the young leaves of stinging nettles - enough to fill a bucket. Boil them in milk for 15-20 minutes. Make sure they remain covered in milk at all times. At the same time boil a big saucepan full of spuds. When the spuds are cooked to perfection add the nettles and the milk in which the nettles have boiled and mash to a very fine consistency. Serve as a large dollop - make a "crater" in top of the dollop and lob in a huge knob of butter. (TIP : If you've not made nettle champ before, add the nettles to the spuds before adding the milk. Then add the milk a little at a time. The intention is to aim for a soft, NOT sloppy consistency! And make sure you BOIL the nettles. This denatures the sting.)

NETTLE CHAMP (to the tune of "The Man From Mullingar"
You may sing and shout and boast about your souffles and your flans
Your kormas and your ragouts and your fancy coq-au-vins
I've tried them all as 'round this world my weary way I've tramped
But there's not a dish could hold a light to a bowl of nettle champ

CHORUS
Forget about your lobster and your salmon
Your sirloin, t-bone, rack of ribs and gammon
No masterchef's invention could ever hold a lamp
To a knob of butter melting in a bowl of nettle champ

I nibbled on a truffle once, I wasn't much impressed
Likewise some Russian caviar, a little bit to test
Some venison on which I'm told the chef had placed his stamp
But they only made me hanker for a bowl of nettle champ

CHORUS

Well it's true that I'm no gastronome, I like my cooking plain
Sauces, gravies, coulis are served to me in vain
I don't need sprigs of parsley placed so as to vamp
Up the simple presentation of me bowl of nettle champ

Lemme get this straight... you EAT nettles. And you LIKE them. (And Mmario says I'M the one with a twisted mind...)

Then again, I shouldn't knock 'em till I've tried 'em. After all, I DO eat artichokes, and I like THEM... (steamed, with lemon butter! Yum!)

Is "champ" pronounced like it appears to be (short for "champion"), or like "camp"? Or "chomp"? Or "comp"?

Milkweed buds aren't bad, much better then the young pods.

DROOLING
(tune: Green Acres Theme Song)

Car-bo-hydrates are the thing I crave
High Protien diet's just depraved
Lobster and bacon may just suit you fine
But I would kill for Pasta with some wine!

Wheat bread is what I want to chew
I want some rice, and 'taters too!
What good is it when I lose weight
If my cravings I can never slake?

Hot Toast!
Beef Roast!
Pancakes!
fresh Hake!

This is my diet! Stomach, be QUIET!
Fat cells, you're out of here!

Chips and Malt Vinegar

Since I've arrived here in the South
I've put lots of strange things in my mouth
Chitlins, grits and collards too
But there's one thing missing I'm telling you.

{soc}
Chips and malt vinegar is the only way to go
I ate 'em the other day when I was in Chicago
Can't get 'em in Georgia, but I gotta say
Chips and malt vinegar is the only way
{soc}

Chips here are those crunchy things
that come in plastic bags
But when they're served in Restaurants
It makes my finger wag

The best ones they are twice fried
and servered in paper cups
Smothered in malt vinegar
yeah eat those frenchies up

{chorus}

This town really needs a chip stand
If you know what I mean
barbecue and Waffle House
Are the only scene

Twice fried potatoes
Covered up with malt
Put a stand on main street
Make that traffic halt
