My invented dish I call "Scrumpy". You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add ~~southern~~ hot sauce like Frank's, and some Cajun seasoning.
It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I've done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top... Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
Frank's is not a southern hot sauce.
You're saying it's from New York City?
NEW YORK CITY?!?!
Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.
You might call it "Buffalo style" since it's commonly the primary component of Buffalo sauce.
Tabasco and Crystal are classic southern hot sauces.
Don't forget Louisiana... My wife's favorite.
Oh, I didn't forget.
I'll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That's actually why I said southern style.
Crystal has a less harsh flavor than Tabasco and Frank's. They're all similar, of course, but there are subtle variations; thus, in my opinion, they each have different applications.
Crystal meth?
Ok this I sort of understand because I used to make Nacho Potatoes. Nacho Potatoes are baked potatoes but with the toppings of nachos. Lettuce is essential because it gives a crunch that enhances the texture of the dish.
Nacho up your fries, include full trimmings.
Iβve had this at pubs (in the US). It was called βIrish Nachos.β They were pretty tasty.
...that's - odd...
