I love the fried chicken at 50's Prime Time..but....

I do not like the greens they now serve instead of green beans.
Would they allow a substitution of the greens for something else?

I know it seems wrong for a southerner to not like greens...but...ecchkk....

 

[wilderness gal]

I understand....

I'm from the south; and I do not like "greens" at all . So don't feel bad. I'd go w/out when we were little if that's all we had............yuck !!! they are
"N A S T Y"

If it's turnip greens......collard greens..........are there any other kind?

Just because we're southerners doesn't mean we have to eat like it.............
nope, no way jose'

Have you ever eaten "Poke salad"? It's like spinach.

 

[perdidobay]

You forgot mustard greens!!
Glad to know I'm not the only one. My mother has cooked poke salad..but I refused to eat it, too. All I know is you need to pick it when it's young, and before the stems turn red....and cook and rinse a time or two.
I'll stick to okra...now that I like!

Greens are hard to do well...but when they've been cooking all day with some hamhock, they can be really excellent, especially with some cornbread.

I bet Prime Time would be ok with a substitution. Surely you could get a green salad instead or something.

 

[perdidobay]

In my dinnermates opinion, they thought the greens were very good...I just don't like them...for sure I'll be asking for something else. I do love the mashed potatoes and gravy though.

 

[SimbaNoodle]

I agree. No greens here either.

I have substituted corn for the green beans at the 50s PT with no problem.

I was there two weeks ago. My wife asked for a substitution for the green beans that came with her meatloaf and was offered one of several vegatables. I don't recall all of the choices, but she selected and was given corn.

This is good to know. I am allergic to beans and thought I would have to go without a vegetable. Glad I can substitute.

I dont eat anything green...will they substitute for mashed tatoes instead (or a double helping) NO GREEN STUFF!!!
But I want desert-will they really NOT give you dessert if you dont eat your veggies-I've never been there...and have ADRs for the first day we are there...

 

[AdventureGuru]

never mind I didnt read all of the posts...if I can have corn I'm happy...

 

[Dustmouse]

My DS14 was given a choice of veggies and opted for corn. He would never have eaten greens!

A family at a nearby table got their green beans back on a clean plate with whipped cream and a cherry on top!

I know this is off subject of your question but would u reccomend 50's prime time? We've always discussed going but we're trying to try new things and that's on the list!

 

[perdidobay]

It's just old fashioned American comfort food, but DH and I love it.
The fried chicken is excellent

They may "mess" with you if you don't eat all your veggies, but they won't keep you from ordering dessert b/c of that. Dessert = more money for WDW and more tip for server. They may tease you about not eating all of your veggies or bring them back to you with whipped cream and a cherry on top...then bring the dessert you ordered sans veggies.

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I'm not from the south. But I love greens.

Turnip Greens.
Collard Greens.
Mustard Greens.
My favorite is Swiss Chard.
I must admit Kale is rather Blech.
Spinach

The southern staple I hate is

GREEITS.

Puke. Puke Blech.

 

[AdventureGuru]

ok well as long as I get dessert! BF is going to have fun at this place I think...
I want the fried chicken!!! *yum* but the pot roast looks good too...

 

[perdidobay]

My DH likes the pot roast, but I haven't had fried chicken as good since my Mom used to make it, so I never get anything else.

Cannot_wait...I agree. I don't like grits either. I much prefer Cream of wheat!

Dustmouse... thanks for the photo, I think!...I now have serious cravings

 

[Pediatri]

We ate at Prime Time a couple weeks ago. I had the greens and thought they were very good!

 

[AdventureGuru]
