The Dates Set For The Get Together Pt Deux 2015

And I thought it was Girls Raised In The South!

To further the discussion...

I used to work with a gentleman named, SB. SB had no first name, just his initials. I now know all sorts of people that have two first names and it seems unfair, (Raymond James, etc.).

SB told me that his grandmother used to make hominy and that the method she used was to soak oak coals in water and throw in the corn. I've never done this but apparently, the corn bloats and the outer part sloughs off and the result is hominy.

To make grits, that hominy is then dried and ground.

Biscuits were the one that puzzled me lol. I went into a Popeye restaurant while in Florida and the fried chicken came with biscuits. I thought why would you want biscuits ie chocolate biscuits with chicken. Then I saw them and they're like what we call cobblers here. Very similar to scones.

 

[tbellemare]

they're like what we call cobblers here.

Here, cobblers make and repair shoes.

EDIT:
Come to think of it, there must be a lot of cannibals in the South. I see cobblers on a lot of menus...
