	Your Favorite Local Foods Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I moved from the Quad Cities, to Charleston over a month ago.

One food that I miss, is the ice cream produced by the franchise called Whitey's. Whitey's is a local ice cream franchise in the Quad Cities -- on the lines of Dairy Queen, but TENS times better in quality and use of ingredients.

I miss Whitey's ice cream.



I look forward to pigging out on a lot of it when I visit my friends in the Quad Cities again, a week from today.


So Americans, Europeans, Aussies and anyone else in any other part of the world. What LOCAL food service franchise are you particularly fond of? Describe it for those who don't know what you may be talking about.

Sorry if the name Whitey's would offend PC fanatics.


Tamale Factory? What makes it the best place for mexican food to you?
Or Gautaljaras??

The Tamale Factory is a little place in Woodland, CA that has like 2 tables in it, but you could get tamales for 1.20 each. They were huge and total grub, the hot was actually hot and not mild like most places.

Guadawhatevers had a Burrito that could feed a family of 5 for a week! Plus they had a chip and salsa bar.

Also, Dos Coyotes is a great little franchise. Good specials and a Pallaya (spelling?) burrito that was to die for.

Obviously, I like Mexican food, and good mexican food (while not hard to find around here) is the best.

A friend was describing an Indian place in London about their hot sauses.

"This is mild, hot, very hot, and not for white people."

Some of us, Mr. Fun, are cultured and thus know that Vietnamese will rapidly become the new Japanese when it comes to designer dining.

mmmm.....Che's got me thinking about curry now. Chicken vindaloo with hot naan bread and cooling raita on the side.

In Canada, my Indian friends made me an honourary "brown person" cause I was the only white friend they had that could handle the spice.

My friends in the UK are wimps and find my habit of munching on chillies like they're popcorn to be strange.

There, doesn't insulting Boris just make the day that much nicer. I find that it does.

I didn't want to start any cat fight among gay Apolytoners for the straight guys' entertainment.


And Boris was not who I was thinking of.

hehe, we had this American in my basketball team once who when in a curry house asked for the hottest thing they had, as he liked his food seriously spicy. They pointed to the Phaal on the menu, but said that they had something extra special as well.

Upshot was that he had to drink half a glass of milk for every bite he ate, and that he couldn't play (or sit) the next day. He did finish half of it, and took the rest of it home in a doggy bag.. not sure if he ate it

As for local food... I remember the chicken kebab i used to get in manchester. They used to bake the nan bread in front of you, put in the chicken, then you'd get salad, tomatoes, chillie sauce, mint sauce and some mango chutney, topped off with some chilies. Best food ever.
