The Manly Supper

The Manly Supper

First you’re going to have supper, not dinner. Dinners are formal stuffy affairs.

This is pretty simple. The manly supper is:
Steak (the rarer, the better) , baked potato, green beans, baked beans w/ bacon, Texas toast and a pint of Stout. After the meal have a shot of whiskey or jagermeister to help with the digestion. Then maybe a slice of hot pie (apple, peach, pecan or rhubarb) and some coffee.

But what about when you can’t get the manly supper or you have a hankering for something else?

Pork chops, macaroni & cheese, apple sauce, baked beans w/ bacon, corn bread, a pint of pilsner
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, pint of lager
Slab of ribs, baked potato, baked beans w/ bacon, cob of corn, pint of lager
Fish ,fries, slaw, cottage cheese, hunk of French bread, butter, coffee or a pint of pilsner.
A bunch of southern fired chicken, biscuits, pan gravy, and mashed potatoes, green beans a pilsner.
Southern fried steak, biscuits, pan gravy, and mashed potatoes, green beans, a lager.
A good mulligan stew and a stout beer.
Bowl of hot spicy chili thick enough to pave your driveway and a pilsner
Soup beans (pinto or northern), cornbread, coffee (black)
Lasagna w/ meat sauce or Italian sausage, garlic bread, a pint of pilsner


Some people may ask about wine. Figure it out yourself Clarence. I can’t hold your hand forever.


Green stuff: Be very careful with vegetables. If you eat too many your testicles will shrivel up and fall off. If you think you need more vegetables you should probably have another drink. But if you just like vegetables then consider manly vegetables such as Kimchi or Kraut. Avoid stuff like broccoli or celery stalks. Celery stalks are for Bloody Marys and that’s strictly breakfast food.

Salads is chick food and should never be a meal in itself. If in a moment a weakness you decide to have a salad, for chrissake dump about a ½ pound a crushed up bacon on top and use lots of croutons and thick ranch dressing to offset the “chick effect”. Make sure it’s iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. It really shouldn’t have anything else but if you insist then add some carrots or onions. Don’t add sprouts or spinach or any of the nonsense or you may be forced to turn in your man card..

Soups can be tricky. It should by thick and hearty. It should contain dead animal parts as a main ingredient. Avoid soups that sound French. Soup is just part of meal and should not be considered a main course. If you’re eating soup as a meal you’re either a sick kid or a geezer with no teeth.
