Po' folk food

[OK Corgi Rancher]

My wife eats ranch dressing with almost everything.

I eat a lot better than I should. I need to get back to a mostly keto type of diet. I love all that stuff she cooks but it tends to make me fat. Because I have no sense of portion control and I want to eat too much. Never had a problem with my eating habits until I hit about 50. It caught up with me with a vengeance.

One of the very few things that I dislike about my wife is that she doesn't like beans and cornbread. If I had known that before we got married, I'm not positive that we would be.

Same here. When I was much younger and working nights I'd eat at Arby's or McDonalds often. My normal lunch (dinner for most normal folks) was two big macs, large fries, large coke, and a pie. I weighed 155lbs. Not anymore! Add about 80 lbs now. I never eat out much anymore and when I do it ain't two big macs!

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

I thought they were all closed as well, but I looked them up. Apparently there are still 5 of them open in Florida.

What do you all think of as po' food that always draws a crowd?

Love my pinto beans and jalapeno cornbread made with cream corn. No butter required.
Beans gotta have horseradish mixed with them. I've converted so many people over to having horseradish in beans the I've lost count.

Po' food that always draws a crowd?
Another would be just saying there was going to be a fish fry with crappie served. Everybody shows up for that with a side dish in hand.

Yeah, aside from when I make baked beans with pork chops, or chili, the wife doesn't like beans. really busts my bubble, I love beans.

Nothing better than Beans, Cornbread and Onions! And it was a special time to get Fried Potatoes too!

You lost me at the onions. I don't like them unless they are one thing in a bunch of them and even then, they have to be finely chopped.

That said, I do cook with them.

When I saw the title of the thread, the first thing that came to my mind was pintos and cornbread, and it’s one of my all time favorite meals.

I make this all the time. Grew up poor eating it and still love it

This pic was just put up on the fat guy club on FB. Mouth is watering! Hamburger steak w/brown gravy over mashed potatoes and corn!!! I would need some good bread with that and I'm thinking some Dutch Crunch!!!

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.

my parents friends made Hungarian Goulash another thing i really miss!
