Now that thar is right funny, and of course true. You just gave another great example of taking healthy food and removing the health: spargus and hollandaise.

I've actually only had collard greens once, on a business trip. I'm thinking it was Alabama. Don't remember much about the taste, but they definitely seemed unhealthy, and I'm thinking there was ham or bacon or maybe even both mixed in with 'em.

Us northerners don't eat the same foods as you southerners. Grits and collards ain't part of our normal vocabulary.

True, we don't chop up innards and mix em with stuff and fry it and call it scrapple!

My nomination for biggest difference between fresh and canned: taters of any kind.

Jup! I'll agree there

Hire her again so I can fire her again.

what'd I do this time???

I remember buying fresh corn at $1 per dozen ears in the 1960s.

This was early 70's

Don't forget all the black eyed peas and hamhocks belong to ME!

uhmmmm no they don't!!

Course the chicken had usually been alive still just a few hours before she fried it, which might have also been part of why it tasted so good.

Jup!!

Alrighty y'all... I hate to say it, but I gotta run... my brief spell of overtime has reached it's inevitable end, and I have to take tomorrow off for chemo day... I hope y'all have a wonderful night and weekend, and I'll see y'all again on Monday!

well dang this didn't show up...... ((((((Kaezz and wifey)))))) hope tomorrow goes as well as it can

'Specially if ya cook like Justin Wilson... "a l'il wine for da sauce... a l'il wine for da cook!"

I LOVED dat guy!!!

Used to call him Justin Crustin. Also like Paul Prudome but, good God did he get huge. Then he saw "De Fork in de Road" and lost a buttload (literally) of weight. He was literally so big that he rolled around in a yacht chair and could hardly reach the ingredients before he got the religion of weight loss.

What's a collard?

Southern Greens. Normally cooked with onions, vinegar and ham hocks. Not bad but not my favorite by a long shot.

Don't forget enough salt to melt half an inch of ice from the average driveway.

What food did you say was just about as good canned as it was fresh? Was it green beans? If so, that's why you're fired, refried and refired. Green beans from a can: I grew up with 'em and don't know how I managed to survive long enough to discover real green beans.

 

[garyoa1]

Scrapple? Oh, u meen spam,

 

[MattB101]

Of COURSE I do.... unfortunately da wife won't lemme have a deep fryer though (cause she knows then I'd just deep fry EVERYTHING!), so I gotta fry it in da deep cast iron pot...

I had a DFF and quickly found out that they are a genuine pain in the fanny to clean. Stopped using it and it's been on the shelf ever since. Nothing beats a cast iron dutch oven for deep frying.

'spargras canned is bilge barf. fresh or frozen is heaven. specially with lemon butter or hollandaise sauce. we had a huge patch when I was growing up, and in the spring my sweat would smell like asparagus. need I say I ate a lot?

Costco in the spring here has bundles of pencil asparagus for reasonable. Really fresh and good. Pencil size is by far the best. When you snap off the tough part you hardly get anything. Only better is a buddy of mine lives next to a salt marsh and aspygrassy grows wild. Now that's some good stuff.!

Your in the wrong part of town. I used to get BBQ beef tips at an old black, sawdust floored rib place in N. Chicago and they had a pot of collards cooking at all times. Cab driver that introduced and escorted me into the place (the folk didn't zactly welcome white folk with open arms, once they got to know you was different but, not at first) said you could even get collards fro breakfast.

Over 160 posts to read?! You've got to be kidding!

I have a friend on FB whose entire page....with very few exceptions....is nothing but food and recipes for food.......I marvel at how she wonders why she is so darned obese....

 

[3mg Meniere]

Yeah, they have really been burning those pages today. Luckily, I was able to check in once in awhile, so catching up was no biggie.
