in the moring,
grits and fried bacon & eggs, toast and fresh made jam.
supper, or lunch time, fried green tomatoes and bacon, a little slice of ham if you got it was good too.
Dinner, about 430 pm, Okrie or okra, you can fry it or just boil up a mess of it in a pot, but it is best served fresh and hot right off the stove fried with a little bit of bread crums or flower.
Fried corn or right from the garden into the kitchen to the cold water to clean it and then drop it into a hot pot of boiling water for 10 min's. This is the part the younger girls got to do in the kitchen with their grandmother or mom's.
The boy's got to go and pick the food fresh from the garden about a hour before dinner. A mess of greens were always good too. There were turnup greens, and mustered greens, spanish greens, heck we even used them for salads cause lettuse was to far to the store to go and get in those days.
Dad and grandpa would go out a get a chicken, chop it's head off and give it to the women or kids to puck. You see back then, it wasn't just womens work to cook, we all had a part in bring the food to the table and making up a meal and then talking about or day at school or the new dress mother saw in the J.C. Penny's wish book. After it got older we used in in the outhouse for reading material and a then just threw it away!
A better time, a family time, and yes I would give up my cars toys to get to do it again with the love one's, one more time.
I didn't find your other question, but if you write to me on yahoo at johnmccall21949@yahoo.com I will see if I can help you. I lived in Alamaba in the 60's with my parents and grandparents, got to see George Wallace make a fool out of himself standing in front of a school (U of Ala.) and trying to keep out a young black girl from attending. Can you imagin that, today, you don't have to stand at the doors to keep hardly any of the kids out of school, they don't thnk they need a education anymore.
Well I remember the author talking about, ham, cornbread, biscuits, open faced sandwhich made with butter and sugar, fried chicken, collard greens, thats all I can think of right now
