Scoop it on everything, except maybe the coleslaw. You could even put a straw in it and drink it like a shake. Or eat it with a spork just like pudding. Ahhhh I can almost hear the scraping sound of the tip of a spork against the bottom of a styrofoam mashed potato cup as I think about it.; 2:54 AM, April 26, 2007
