==================
At the airport

Walker's white chocolate raspberry cookies - crunchy cookies,
neutral in flavor, not so buttery as a shortbread. Good berry
aroma, but not much berry taste. The white chocolate added
sweetness, fat, and perhaps some annoying dairy presence.

Love and Quiches triple chocolate brownies - I don't know what
makes this triple, though the things are chocolaty as well as
moist. I get two chocolates - chips as well as the substrate.
Not at all unpleasant.

I've written about Brookwood Farms, which is a not great
Q chain that seems to have sewn up the airport market
outside Memphis. Well, I was at the airport, and Burger
King didn't appeal, and the Manchu Wok didn't appeal, so
I gave it another shot. Glad I did, I think. There was
a line of 3, as opposed to a line of 10 or more at the
rest of the places, so I didn't feel particularly guilty
about sneaking forward and checking out the wares. The
brisket looked smoky and a little fatty, so I got a
plate for $10: about 4-6 oz of the meat, two sides from
an assortment of mash, mac and cheese, green beans, fried
okra, corn, and a few other things. I went for the fried
dill pickle and brunswick stew. Also cornbread or hush
puppies come. Last time, one pickle spear counted as the
side; this time I got 4. They were quite good, though
from not only different pickles, but different genres of
pickle. Two of the wedges were really, really spicy hot
and delicious; the other two were not spicy at all but
still okay tasting, better than the brisket. The meat,
though it looked smoky, wasn't particularly; and though
it had looked a little fatty behind the counter, they
probably cut off that layer, as there was only the
slightest hint of fat, so it was again the cardboardy
dry experience. Brunswick stew was quite good, and
the hushpuppies were though underseasoned palatable.
Next time: brunswick stew and a side of pickles.
