"Illegal like some people decided alcohol is 'morally objectionable'." His tone drips with disgust for people imposing their moral standards on the rest of the country. "Lotta people started makin't themselves, after they outlawed it. Now th'law got repealed a few months back." He hasn't yet mentioned that his own family is among those illegal bootleggers, but Forrest has standards, and has always refused to cut their moonshine with anything that might risk people's health. Well, risk it any more than strong alcohol does already.

It's like they're on the same wavelength, as they both gravitate quickly to the line. In theory Forrest could make curly cheese fries at home, but that's a lot of work. He watches idly though, noting the tool for the curly fries isn't much different from a fancy apple peeler. "We got chickens. 'n pigs. Had eggs from ducks 'n geese before, but never anything else."
