***Official Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 11-18-2020***

Overrated appetizer: Onion rings
Underrated: Fried pickles

I ALMOST went fried pickles but 1. They’re not as good as fried green tomatoes and 2. I feel like they’re already pretty well respected in the appetizer world.

Im sorry, Indiana is not in the south. Thats like saying Iowa is in the mountain region.

The end. Thanks again to everyone who contributed questions this week and, as usual, thanks to my partner in crime @cyrocksmypants.

Also, huge thanks to @Angie and @Mr Janny for being our guests this week. They absolutely killed it!

You guys are always fun, and you know I adore you both. Also, it's fun to get to be wildly sarcastic.

Mozzarella sticks are good, but nothing beats Hessen Haus’ giant Muenster cheese sticks.

Good with marinara, but try them with their curry sauce. Delish

I have been to Hessen Haus several times and had NO idea this was a thing? I love Muenster cheese - I'm going to have to try this. Also a big fan of curry. This sounds amazing.

Okay, now that he’s done MASSIVE shout out to @GTO for that overhauling!

Also, ignoring @Angie because everyone knows how much I love her.

But this might have been one of the hardest ones I’ve done. Because @Mr Janny is so damned funny (and I picture every joke just being straight deadpan) that it was hard for me to play up on his jokes and carry on with them. It was a massive improv fail on my part because there was nothing I felt I could do with some of his responses that could make them any more funny.

FFS, man. Like he needs more fluffing about his sense of humor. He's going to play king of the house for the next three weeks. AND I GET NOTHING? You have no idea what you've done.

I really, really considered fried pickles, too. I love them - and I would have said them if it were about ten or fifteen years ago, and the only place I could find them was Cafe Northwest. (They still had the best ones.) But you're right, they've gotten a lot more traction, so I had trouble including them as "underrated."

I'll bet you say that to all the guys

As someone that lived in Indiana for 7 years, I can assure you, despite the geography of the state, Indiana is most definitely the South.

I believe they’re on the appetizer menu. Make a point to try them next time

I for sure will! Muenster is pretty high up on my grilled cheese lineup, too. It melts really well, has a good salt content (most of the time). I also love cubing it and just eating it and grapes for breakfast.

Absolutely gaining more traction. It just doesn’t seem like a lot of people (or at least people I know?) consider them as a top option. Doesn’t change that they’re delicious

Underrated grilling cheese. So melty

I still can't believe our last mailbag before this one was all the way back in March!

 

[CloniesForLife]

Great mailbag. Thanks for helping me waste my last half hour at work

After finally reading all that, it feels like an episode of Seinfeld just relieved itself all over the CF forums.

Thanks for putting it all together. Not sure I deserve that kind of compliment, but I had a lot of fun doing this.
