Late to the party, but I like the topic.

Tough to limit to just 5, Mike, but I will try . . .

1. Pork cutlets with mashed potatoes, pan gravy and corn. The pork cutlets I refer to are tenderized pork cheeks, not thin-cut tenderized boneless pork chops . . . Might just be a mid-west thing.
2. Sausage gravy and home made biscuits.
3. Hamburger pie, at least that's what my Mom called it. Kind of a shepherd's pie with just ground beef, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.
4. Potato soup . . . with lots of onions. Started with bacon AND salt pork.
5. Popovers with all the trimmings on Christmas morning. A tradition my bride and I started with our kids almost 40 years ago. The kids are gone, but the tradition carries on.

I could keep going, but I promised to limit my list to 5. Can ya tell my heritage is Danish, German and Irish?

I get prime rib often. I like it tender, rare and with a sweet potato.

When the restaurant has a salad bar I put extra blue cheese dressing on the salad.
