Hello all!! I, like Oogie Boogie, am a sad #hcanes fan who will be joining your bandwagon
As such, I shall remain a bandwagon fan with your Canucks until you either A) Win the Stanley Cup, or B) get knocked out of the playoffs...after all, isn't that what bandwagon fans do? Disappear after the good times are over #bandwagon
Being from the south, we love our comfort food, so in honor, I have turned your roster into good ole' home cookin'...I don't know all of Vancouver's players terribly well or everyone's opinions of them, but here's my shot:
Mashed Potatoes - If you don't like the staple of mashed potatoes, you are #satin
Gravy - Gravy is yummy, and it makes your mashed potatoes that much better!
Biscuits - it's Bo time! Love biscuits alone, but honestly they belong with gravy...
Pot Pie - veteran staple of comfort foods, solid but rarely mind blowing
Hush Puppies - Hard to ever go wrong with this choice, but it's not a meal in itself, and can usually use some ketchup or BBQ sauce
Collard Greens - some people love them, some people hate them
Chicken & Waffles - WTF is this? Ohhh, that's actually not bad
Apple Pie - if you don't like Apple Pie then **** you (bonus if you get the racing reference)
Dumplings - rarely going to blow you away, but rarely a total disappointment
NC/Lexington BBQ - punch of vinegar, loved by locals, often hated by outsiders
Grits - pretty much filler, occasionally more
Fried Okra - hit and miss, kind of thing that's sometimes amazing but generally it's just...off...
Pickles - goes good as a side to almost anything, or eat them on their own, or fry them, doesn't matter they're still good
Pulled Pork - Needs sauce/dressing to really make it pop, but not too shabby even on its own
Iced Tea - Not for everyone, sometimes sweet sometimes bitter, if you don't love it you'll loathe it
Cornbread - underrated, but delicious when made right...mmmm sweet cornbread
Deviled Eggs - Can have a bit of a kick and taste quite good, but can make you downright sick at times...regardless you can't have a party without them
Chitlins - just the thought of it kinda makes you sick, but a few are inexplicably infatuated with the stuff
Coke - You only hate Coke if you're with Pepsi (Calgary Flames)
Crayfish/Crawdads - Good ones are a rare delicacy, the rest of the time they're pretty much disgusting
So based on the starting lineup on the opening page of the WCQF GM1 Pre-Game thread:
Mashed Potatoes - Gravy - Collard Greens
Pot Pie - Hush Puppies - Gravy
Chicken & Waffles - Apple Pie - Dumplings
NC/Lexington BBQ - Grits - Fried Okra
Ketchup - Pulled Pork
Iced Tea - Cornbread
Deviled Eggs - Chitlins
Coke
