Love the buttered, syrup-ed corn bread; but I’ll have my stew on the side ;-)

“I see chicken in sweet waffles a lot these days; don’t really get it..”
I have the impression that chicken and waffles was a dish originated in Harlem as a late, late night snack for nightclub performers to have after they finished working.
To me that made total sense. You’d be really hungry, so you’d want that fried chicken, but it would be almost morning, so you’d want that breakfast dish which could also serve as desert.
I too was always like: what?!?! when I’d hear chicken and waffles, but after I heard that story it made total sense.
But I still think I’d only want to eat it at about 4 AM.
This also reminds me of a restaurant sign I saw in Jersey City: BREAKFAST....LUNCH....FRIED CHICKEN
I don’t get the chicken and waffles thing, either.
Don’t know any State recipes but am enjoying cucumber salad these days since that’s all the garden is producing in 106 degree temps. But even the shaded cukes are looking sad.
Cucumber salad - sliced cucumbers, sliced onion, a dash of vinegar, a spoon of sugar, salt and pepper. Add some dill if you have it.
