nah, its a southern thang... cornbread is good, my granny makes the best... and i don't much care for black eyed peas, i like soup beans or some good blackbeans and rice... greens and b.e.p's are supposed to be dollars, and pennies, something about being prosperous in the new year...
normally i am not much into southern food, i don't like fried food, and i don't like tomatoes or okra or chicken& dumplings... but don't mess with my greens:cuss:
GOT THAT RIGHT!!!Quote:

Never had fried tomatoes, I despise okra and find grits to be a tasteless waste of time.Quote:

Plantain is a type of banana. Comes in all sizes and a few shapes as well. The basic kind you cook come in yellow which is sweet, and green which has a potato like taste. The green is often boiled as well. :hungry:Quote:
