JetBlue flight attendant admits smuggling heroin

Where did that come from, anyway? ^.^ I grew up on fried chicken, barbecue, iced tea, fried okra, grits, fatback, collards, black eyed peas, watermelon, etc., and I only ever heard the term 'soul food' after I left the south.

Also, I never in my life heard of "chicken and waffles", which is apparently the new big "traditional southern food".

Embaffled,

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I just spent my first few days in Charleston, SC. They kept yammering on about Chicken and Waffles. Now, I may not be from the South, but I've always felt compelled to keep an eye on them rebels and their miscreant ways, an' I never before had heard of Chicken and Waffles. Perhaps @Boris Badenov can shed some light... or syrup, or whatever y'all dispense upon yer'all waffles.
Also, what exactly is "fatback"?
Also, I've heard of and tried "porkbelly". It's actually quite tasty (and probably really bad for you). But is there such a thing as "sourbelly"? I'm pretty sure Yosemite Sam or Foghorn Leghorn used to go on about "Sourbelly", but perhaps I was smoking crack as a child and remember incorrectly. Or perhaps they were using the term mockingly. When talking about "sourbelly" they also mentioned "hog jowls" and "gopher guts". So yeah, probably in mock, huh?
 
"The South" is a big place. Lexington is about the same distance from Savannah as it is from Milwaukee. But FWIW, I've never heard of "chicken and waffles", either. I'm thinking probable Yankee Plot.
 
If'n I can git the hell out of Atlanter tonight, I gotta drive past both a Bojangles and a Popeye's on my way home. That's the kind of dilemma I like! Feel free to vote on my supper!
 
We have had chicken and waffles in LA for as long as I have been alive. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Good all #13, cures what hurts Sunday morning.
 
I'm not surprised more $200,000 in flight school debt pilots aren't drug mules.

Think how happy ERAU, UND and such would be with "99% of our graduates are debt free within 1 year of graduation."

Yes, because it's not like pilots have been caught smuggling drugs, guns, cigars, satellite dishes....... Oh wait, they have. Better shut down the whole program, right, Derg?

Not really "hate mail," but yes, I think it's BS that pilots act holier than thou and try to exclude their fellow crew members from KCM.

WAIT Wait wait. Satellite dish's? OK, I have a big ass, but that would be tough. But what about them is worth smuggling? I'm truly ignorant here, but what can a smuggled satellite dish receive?
 
It took exactly 8 posts for this thread to derail and it wasn't until post 48 for someone to say something remotely back on target. Impressive.

I used to do State Department charters to Cuba all the time in BE1900s. Back in the pre-9/11 days, getting something out to the ramp and into a 1900 cargo bin wasn't quite as difficult. We had a captain who had a deal arranged with some of the local army guys in Havana that he would supply them with DirecTV satellite dishes, and they would supply him with Cuban cigars in return. He smuggled quite a few of them before he got caught.
 
Now that there is a Bojangles in the T Gates in ATL, I can get some there, take my 30 min flights to CLT, and eat bojangles in the airport there too.

Well I guess you've never had a nice big bag of crackling or pork rinds?
 
I prefer the chicken part......not a big waffle fan. That said, while back home visiting, I had chicken and waffles at this place in Eugene OR, thinking to myself (as a been there/done that long time resident-visitor of the dirty south) "this is going to be a funny hipster skinny jeans culinary failure". Ended up having the best waffles I have ever had in my life (I guess they are based on some sort of an Israeli recipe), and the fried chicken was great too. Only place I have been that chicken and waffles actually was awesome. I don't know if that says more about the culinary magic that is the PNW, or just less about the failure of most southern eateries.
 
Back in the late 1980's my husband was on a sequestered jury near Lewisburg, PA. It's now a famous case as it had everything: the two guys in prison who decided they wanted to leave. They were lovers but one was married. They enlisted the wife to drive the getaway car. Then they got themselves both injured so they would have to be transported to the Geisenger medical center. That's where they planned to break away and jump in the car. But in doing it, they killed a federal prison guard. Then there was a high speed chase. They got caught and the death penalty was at stake. Because there was so much local publicity, they took the jury from our county.

So, after about a week and a half, the warden had all the jurors to his house for dinner to give them a break. His wife served chicken and waffles.

If chicken and waffles is a southern thing, it's also a middle PA thing. So I guess it's true. Pennsylvania is Philly and Pitt with Alabama in the middle! :)
