Saw a truck from a construction company called "Legalize Basement" today and thought that was weird, as basements themselves are totally legal...then I realized that it's from the "Thai food near me" school of business naming, optimized for people trying to turn ordinary basements in to legal rental units.

Most of those are spot on except for the chicken and waffles. That's just nasty.

Especially if you grew up in Pennsylvania and absolutely fail to understand why "chicken and waffles" involves fried chicken and syrup.
This is "chicken and waffles":
I'm also failing to grasp how swiss cheese and donuts go together.
Chicken Pie with a different crust vs crunchy bird covered in sticky sugar oil, easy decision!

I had a recent thought that if I wasn't married I could have bought a closed gas/service station to live in.
I looked at one of those when shopping for my first house. It even had a few dozen parts cars in the back yard.
I would have had to build a kitchen and put in a shower, though.

That actually looks pretty tasty. Over the last 10 years or so, I've gotten to where I despise sugars or sweet sauces on meats. I don't want maple in my sausage, sweet sauces on BBQ, brown sugar on my fish, or syrup on my chicken. I don't mind sweets, but leave my savory foods alone.
No, I didn't fact-check this.
This kind of stuff makes me puke in my mouth a little...

Mint doesn't belong in anything except the trash can.

You've never had Biftekia made by a Greek have you? I know you haven't, because you would never have made that statement if you had.
In reply to Appleseed :
If it has mint in it, it's trash. There are very few flavors I don't like. Mint is 2nd on the list right under liver. I don't particularly like the smell of it.

We've had the scrapple discussion here before, I believe.
Scrapple is made of stuff that's not good enough to be hot dogs, cut with sawdust.
It's grey.
End of discussion.

You thought I was kidding about the grey part:

I married into a Sicilian family. One look at the dinner spreads and I'd ask when the football team was showing up.

I make about 80 pounds of this every year for my family. Country pudding or liver pudding. Similar to scrapple but less runny when cooked.
If you think bacon and sausage are the kings of the breakfast meats, you haven't tried it. Pig skins, liver, butt, and rice. So delicious and artery-clogging.

"Less runny"...?
Uncooked scrapple has the consistency of sandy modeling clay, and cooked scrapple has the consistency of roofing shingles.
For as bad as scrapple is, "runny" shouldn't even be part of the equation. "Runny scrapple" would be an entirely new level of disgusting.
