You can eat any kind of mix of minced potato and crushed tomato with it. Goes great with corned beef(not corned beef hash), and sardines, anchovies, or any other type of salt water fish cooked in a tomato based mixture.

Non-denominationals are the scariest of religious people. They come from the dregs that didn't fit in with anyone else and were converted by self-taught traveling country preachers. They believe in all kinds of batshit crazy things because it's in the bible, but they don't have a long tradition of literacy to teach them how to filter out the common sense bible stuff from the acid trip stuff that got stuck in there by accident.
