You should be a little more adventurous, SM.

I'm sure your mouth would be watering as you caught sight of the waiter approaching your table with a rather substantial cheesy baton in his hand.

I'll leave that up you "enlightened" Europeans to tickle your fancy that way.

Not really into the restaurant scene then, SM?

There are many people who are just more comfortable inviting the boys round for a spit roast in back yard. Nothing wrong with that.

The wife and I go out to eat not infrequently, and sometimes even take the kiddies, but she's such a great chef we typically have better meals at home. With regards to backyard cookery, I'm the grill master with beef, chicken, fish, pork, and many veggies.

You and your "beans and franks" aren't invited. Sorry.

I'm sure Mrs Southern Man is an excellent cook and i'm sure you're equally adept when it comes to handling rump.

I have to express some disappointment at the snub though :(

Guess i'll never get to see the beauty of the Yadkin Valley after all.

This is probably the best description I've ever heard about the differance between America and Europe.

Vincent: Yeah baby, you'd dig it the most. But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?
Jules: What?
Vincent: It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there that they got here, but it's just – it's just there it's a little different.
Jules: Example?
Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don't mean just like in no paper cup, I'm talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald's. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: Nah, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a "Royale with Cheese."
Jules: "Royale with Cheese."
Vincent: That's right.
Jules: What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: A Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "Le Big Mac".
Jules: [in mock French accent] "Le Big Mac." [laughs] What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I don't know, I didn't go into Burger King.

I'm not really a fan of rump, being more a fan of thighs, breasts and a well proportioned fillet.

Not really a snub, but again I'm not a fan of wieners and gaseous legumes. Besides, there's plenty of other places in The Valley besides my back yard to visit, as well as several on line retailers where you can sample many of our fine wines.

Oh dude, put your prejudices aside. The best chef's and the best cuisine in the world is French. I've been to a single Michelen star restaraunt and it was the most fantastic dining experience in my life (though the Brazilian grill was pretty boss too) and that was just a single star. I can't imagine what a triple Michelen star place would be like (probably way outside of my budget).

I mean go to Narleans and do a bulliobase (sp?) with a glass of Voray and you'll be in hog heaven, i gaurentee!
