Po' folk food

I love pickled okra...

Especially good as a condiment in a Bloody Mary.

The key to awesome cornbread is a cup or 2 of shredded cheese and jalapenos!!!

Those restaurants were in Texas and I used to go to one in San Antonio. I believe they are all closed now.

Well the beans and cornbread must not just be a southern thing. That was a fairly regular Sunday afternoon meal back in the NW for us. My grandma also made this dish called “goulash”? She was a child of the depression so she made everything in a budget instinctively. But when she made that we’d all migrate over to her and grandpa’s house (same property).

I love pickled okra, but I’m not a fan of slimy stewed okra.

True story, I never had okra until I moved here a year ago. And I freaking love it.

Fried porch rabbit is delicious with some corn bread and local honey. Mmm mmm

I was thinking someone must have tried Honey on cornbread.
Perfect desert after the beans and cornbread.

I make my cornbread from scratch and cook it in a round cast iron skillet in the oven.

The Goulash @caliberbob speaks of is also a good dish.

I eat Okra anyway you can make it.
Even raw.. I love it raw straight from the garden.

Take sliced okra, diced onions, cornmeal and flour, salt/pepper and other seasonings if you like and make "hush puppies" from it. Deep fried of course.

Cast iron is mandatory when cooking cornbread. It also the best way to maintain the seasoning of the skillet.

Chicken and dumplings, or even better, squirrel and dumplings.

Mom made a lot of goulash when I was a youngster. I haven't made any in a long time though. I need to remedy that.
