Ummm... OK...

I'll bite.

What should we be cooking?

And what brought this up?

And why is it in Q-Talk?

 

[Lake Dogs]

Ok, could be elsewhere, banished to the netherland of Woodpile...

I'm definitely pokin' fun at y'all. Sweet cornbread; good gosh!!! <sigh>

Because us Good Ol' Boys thought we'd share some killer REAL recipes with you Cooks of Northern Agression...


Iffen you ask kindly that is.

 

[Lake Dogs]

Actually, I would love some authentic southern recipes! ray:

Was that kindly enough?

 

[Lake Dogs]

Maybe that's it Guerry! We need a thread or two for classic, traditional southern comfort food recipes that shouldn't be messed with. Corn bread is definitely towards the top. Saiko's Brunswick stew rocks the house. I'll get one in there for fried corn (figure if nothing else Google will get swamped with searches for "what is fried corn"). Collards. Lets bring our soul food brothers in here. Fried Chicken IS suthun'.

Corn Bread stuffing! Shrimp and grits! Chicken fried steak! REAL pecan pie! The list could be endless!

 

[Lake Dogs]

Ron, with good fried chicken, try Guerry's recipe for corn bread. BUT, use real bacon grease, and put just a tiny bit too much grease in it. Mix in a chopped piece of bacon in that cornbread. And, on the side, have some fresh cut green onions. Open up the NO SUGAR cornbread, a pat or two of real butter, and some of those onions, and what a bite that makes!

 

[Ron_L]

I've traveled enough to have eaten a lot of traditional souther food, including fried corn, but I haven't really cooked any, so I think you have a great idea!

 

[deguerre]

I'll ask my sister for my BIL's Mama Sue's (From Lower Alabama) cornbread stuffing which is the best I've ever had then.

Me too, Ron_L. It's from spendin' time in the South that got me all mixed up in this crazy obsession in the first place. Ate some good Southern BBQ and said to myself "Self, you neeeed to learn how to cook this."

I want someone to tell me how they made the potatoes at Uncle Jones in Altamonte Springs, FL. If I get that recipe, I'll die a happy man.

Got authentic Southern recipes?

Bring 'em!

Agreed. Stuffing is something from a box labeled Stovetop.
