my little Lithuanian friend had a marvelous accent and he was a generally cheerful and engaging man
however...if someone irked him...with a malicious twinkle in his eye would say..."i'm going in there and make a little _______"

These are the only blackeyed peas I've ever heard of until now....

they are served all over the southern US

they taste much differently than most beans and peas

my dad was from Georgia (the state) and we ate food that only black folks ate in the north

I remember we had a neighbor kid over for a Saturday lunch
black-eyed peas, ham hocks, greens (collard or mustard) with more hocks and cornbread or hoe cakes (crepes sauvage, corn cakes, johnnycakes)
he sat down and looked at the food on the table and uttered these famous last words..."what is this crap?!?!"

he came from a family that ate meat (usually beef or game) and spuds...period

"what is this crap?!?!"

Some of the best eating on earth, that's what it is! Anyone fortunate enough to have eaten here knows exactly what I mean! Be sure to look at all the pictures!

I enjoy talking about what goes in...while these degenerates are more interested in what comes out...disgusting!

What goes in, must come out.

Otherwise we would swell up and pop like a zit or something.

Just sayin'.

Substantially lighter? Not that I'l implying that you're full of something.

Is the background to that:
In Georgia the better-off ate that food, so the black population there aspired to eat it.
When the black people went north they had the opportunity and chose to eat what they associated with a higher position in society.
But in the north that was looked down upon by those who were a bit higher up the socio-economic ladder.
The friend came from the higher rung background and brought his associations of that food.

I ask the question because I am curious about a possible explanatory chain. (I mean nothing offensive.)

Rupert, you remind me of when I was young enough that Ronald Reagan was getting his first inauguration done, I was living in a mining town in the single quarters. In the dining room, run by a contractor, there were several food serving staff. You always hoped NOT to get the fat one. She seemed to think everyone else was on a diet and would give minimalist measures.

I have had a couple of friends who had events where what went in did not come out, and accumulated inside. Not for long, and then they had a medical emergency. They had some kind of muscle spasms resulting in knotting the internal tubing. One was treated medically, the other surgically, with life long effects.

A co-worker died from something similar. Intestine became kinked, flow ceased, it ruptured, the abdominal cavity went septic, and he died before they could save him.

This potty topic just won't go away, eh?

Well I'm here to talk about what goes in the top end.
Today's planned cook is grilled/smoked meatloaf using "Kobe style" Waygu ground beef from Aldi with Hatch chile sauce from New Mexico added in the mix.
Tomorrow it will be pulled pork, and fresh corn on the bone.
Monday's fare is still up in the air.

I've never heard that, but it is somewhat logical. I would think that the "Black population" (i.e.- slaves) aspired to eat great tasting food more than they aspired to eat something to gain status? After all, really good food attracts almost everyone.

I'm old, have two broken feet, pneumonia, and one lung full of fluid. And.....I feel like the outgoing product some of you have been so interested in the past few pages. So indulge me a few moments for my Soul Food Story.......Hell, you're not doing anything serious anyhow or you wouldn't be here!

Our Soul Food Trip

Back in the summer of 2012 I was surfing the net and came across an article on the nations best fried chicken. One of the top ranked places was in Jackson Miss. and it sounded like they had more than just superb fried chicken in several southern styles. Sounded good to Mrs Rupert so she took a few days vacation and off we went. I had a friend from the Flickr Pentax Forum that lived in Jackson, so I contacted her and asked her to eat lunch with us and then spend some time later talking camera talk...which we did at a local coffee house.

Mrs Rupert did most of the picture taking with her Toy Camera X10. Here we are just leaving out heading to Jackson and passing through downtown Dallas.


The Two Sisters is an old two story frame house that sits in downtown Jackson directly in the shadow of the Supreme Court Bldg. Nothing fancy about it....
(Me and my Pentax friend Dana...was so nice to meet her!)




It was noon and packed inside, but being buffet style it all went fast!





Lots of soul food...Noting from a can or box...all fresh daily.






Mrs Rupert & Dana ready to eat...you can go back for more of anything...it is "All You Can Eat!"


We had a fat White redhead waitress, and she was one of the best two waiters/ waitresses I have ever been served by anywhere. A personality as charismatic as is humanly possible and a burning desire to make your meal the most pleasant ever. When it came time for dessert I asked what kind? They had 4-5 kinds....so hard to choose. She said...."not a problem , you can have them all if you like!" I got the Bourbon Bread pudding and it was wonderful...and so much of it I could not try anything else! She wanted to someday have her own restaurant.......my bet is she has it by now somewhere and business is booming!

You may go a lifetime with no better waitress than this young lady.....


Was the best soul food I have ever eaten and well worth the trip. We continued south and ate at some very fine seafood places on the coast.....

Fun little trip. It is always exciting to sample food from different cultures and different parts of the world. I like most everything and am not too picky. Mrs Rupert.....very picky but still willing to try different tastes. She did love the soul food...being from Florida she was used to it.

That's my Rupert Story for a while.....I'm all out of breath now!

BTW-The bill for the three of us, including drinks and desserts? $27.47 I left a bigger tip than that! I figured it would be at least twice that much...so much food and such superb service!

Regards!

I can eat most peppers, but for some reason pepperoncinis don't agree with me.
I tried the Mississippi pot roast recipe once, but used onions on top instead of pepperoncinis.

It tasted really good, but not better than my normal crockpot method.
