‘’And, of course, the funniest food of all, kumquats’’ - George Carlin
Teetotalism was always a strange concept to me but nothing more strangely than the fact that Lynchburg, Tennessee is a dry county. For those who don’t know;
‘’Lynchburg is a city in the south-central region of the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is governed by a consolidated city-county government unit whose boundaries coincide with those of Moore County. Lynchburg is best known as the location of the Jack Daniel's distillery, whose famous whiskey is marketed world-wide as the product of a city with only one traffic light. Despite the operational distillery, Lynchburg's home county of Moore is a dry county’’
A dry county being someplace;
‘’in the United States whose government forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages. Some prohibit off-premises sale, some prohibit on-premises sale, and some prohibit both. Hundreds of dry counties exist across the United States, although most commonly in the South. A number of smaller jurisdictions also exist, such as cities, towns and townships, which prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages. These are known as dry towns, dry cities or dry townships’’ (Wikipedia)
I guess being that close to temptation they had to put a law in place. Apparently the brewery is allowed to sell small commemorative bottles of JD to tourists, but not on a Sunday. Gods speaks louder than Alcohol in Tennessee. I’ve always enjoyed Jack Daniel’s but don’t drink as much of it as I use to after supping a whole bottle in a short amount of time and getting mighty ill. Maybe they need to make where I live a dry county.
Vegetarian Dish of the Day
Dalepak Cauliflower Cheese Grills
Box Blurb: A delicious blend of cauliflower, onion, green beans, vegetarian mature cheddar cheese and medium soft cheese, lightly seasoned and coated in a crisp crumb coating
I had stayed away from Dalepak products, part consciously and part subconsciously, following the Spicy Bean burgers and the health scare surrounding them. But I’m always prepared to give things another chance and so I cracked open the Cheese Grills. And very nice they were too. I love Cauliflower Cheese and these were an excellent contained version of that. The crumb coating was indeed crisp but not too thick which allowed the filling to shine through. Whilst nothing magnificent in terms of fine cuisine they were perfectly good at what they set out to be; simple food. Yet another product that works well on its own or as part of a main meal.
