It's often even on the menus that way. I'm in the midwest and while someone here might say "what?" at first when you use that phrase, when you repeat it they're likely to know what you want. It reminds me of "bangers & mash" type phrasing, and why you don't just say sausage and mashed potatoes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
