White Gravy

On Friday afternoon after practicing on the race course in Chattanooga, one of the other men's varsity coxswains and a rower and I went to Chili's for sides/appetizers because we were starving.

Being at a familiar chain restaurant, I managed to forget we were in the South. I ordered 2 sides: mashed potatoes and cinnamon apples. Fool.

In the South, mashed potatoes always have white gravy on them.

White gravy tastes fine, but dammit, it does not belong on this Yankee's mashed potatoes.
