because that's the way F-I-L likes it.

really care much for alligator - it's extremely greasy when it starts

I do love most all greens. I especially love them cooked with bacon or salt pork

(streak of lean?) Not the best health-wise, but a large bowl of those with a

side of corn sticks or even regular corn bread (dripping with real butter, of

course) is one of my favourite comfort foods. My cousin, who lives in Atlanta

sends me real 'stone ground' cornmeal each year at Christmas. My other cousin

sends me fresh pecans. YUM! Funny, since I was born and partly raised in

England, but I prefered my American, southern born mother's mother's

(grandmother...duh!) cooking to my paternal grandmother's. My own mother hated

cooking. What she did was '50s 'convenience' recipes. Like tinned peas, instant

mashed potatoes and a 'pot roast' covered in instant onion soup, wrapped in foil

and cooked till all the life was gone from it. She would put it on early in the

morning for dinner. OR...pressure cooked everything. Whatever went into the

cooker came out looking and tasting like everything else she made in there.

ICK!!! I learned to cook very early on, in 'self-defense'. My maternal

grandmother was an amazing cook. Not to put down my paternal grandmother. She

was of German descent, not English, so the food there could have been worse. I

just never found most German food to be my faves. There ARE some recipes of hers

I still use. I love sweet and sour red cabbage, and potato dumplings, and

split-pea soup. (Not at the same meal, usually.) Traditional British food

leaves me cold for the most part, only someone who has gone to an English school

could understand what I mean. I think the only thing I ever liked at school was

'Gypsy Tart'. I don't know exactly what was in it, but it was sweet and good. I

need to find a recipe for it, and see if I still like it.

Well, now I'm hungry, as long as I don't dwell on squirrel heads...LOL!! No

offense, but those things just sound nasty. I'm not too adventurous when it

comes to meats, though one thing I learned to love in England was lamb. NOT

mutton, which is gross, but real spring lamb. Preferably with mint sauce. YUM!!

I usually cook that for Easter.

I love talking about food, as you can see. I am a 'retired' (not by choice)

chef, and miss it so much. I would love hearing about other peoples faves, and

maybe even a recipe or two if you have the energy.

Peace and Love
