In the Food Poll: Who would eat Dirty Rice?! 2018-12-20 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Have you responded to the Billy Joe Fudge 'What-do-we-Want-to-Eat Poll' to see what food establishments we hope to have added in Adair County? I vote for Bojangle's because I love their Dirty Rice. When in the hometown of my grandchildren recently, I noted they have one now and mentioned this in front of the seven-year-old to which Matilda Anne said, "Yuk!!! Who would eat Dirty Rice?!" I tried to explain about the sausage and spices but there would be no understanding that day and I doubt she'll be tasting any soon. I'll never eat it in future without hearing her words and smiling.
