Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!!

I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens
and ham.

Yay. Another greens lover!

I love all greens except spinach, which is another story. When I was
young,
my grandmother would cook collard greens and also chittlins at the same
time. Only a true southerner even knows what chittlins are. When she would
cook them, the smell was so bad the flies would be covering the screen
door
trying to get out.

One of my golfing buddies has a small farm out by Nokesville, VA. He
keeps me in collard greens most of the year. I'm not wild about
spinach either, but if the store has the bags of fresh stuff on sale I
may cook up a few bags. Fresh spinach is altogether different from
canned.

Spinach was always my favorite vegetable. Much better than the canned peas,
over cooked green beans, and rutabagas mom served.

They always called them chitlins in Chicago. But the blacks brought

I love what some refer to as soul food. Like I've stated, my neighbor is
old school black south Ga. He and I get together on weekends and cook. He
makes the BEST ox tail stew on the planet!

Can not believe the price of Ox Tail these days. Same with a lot of the
other cuts of meat that used to be the cheap cuts. Black guy I worked with
in the 80's said his daughter left the house, the one time he cooked
chittlin's.

Have not had head cheese in a lot of years. Dad loved it. As to Tongue,
wife will not cook it, so I get Lengua a the Mexican deli's I frequent.
Along with goat. Berria. Just do not get those things at the regular
eatery.

Even though your recipe sounds good, I just can't my mind around it.
Yet.

I gotta tell you, I felt the same way when I first heard of it, but
when I actually got to taste one - it was pretty good.

Real men eat pine nuts.

Channeling Euell Gibbons? :)

"Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible."

We just bought a pound of pinion nuts when we were in Arizona. Wife used to
collect them with her family at Mt. Pino's in Southern Cal. Better may be
Digger pine nuts. Less per pound.

Cracker Barrel...our alternative to Waffle House when rolling down

There's so much really bad food offered at the "just off the
Interstate"
restaurants, it's really nice to come across a Cracker Barrel at dinner
time.

Many years ago, soon after you crossed into South Carolina (I think it
was SC) heading south, there was an enclave of shops and restaurants on
the east side of the highway, the biggest being a well-advertised place
that sold cigars. I don't remember the name of that enterprise.

JR's - it's in North Carolina just a little north of the border with
South Carolina. There's one along 77 too.

If you want to find a microcosm of "what is wrong with America," look
at
the just terrible food available along the interstates. There are a
couple of exceptions, such as Waffle House and Cracker Barrel, but
generally...what's offered is just the worst of the worst.

We agree all around. Waffle House is the best greasy spoon chain in
the world and the food ain't half bad.

We never tried Cracker Barrel until last summer - Tim mentioned it and
we tried it out. Not bad at all.

Love their chicken fried steak - it's doesn't like me unfortunately.


Yep...JR's...North Carolina. That's where the Nathan's was located.

Cracker Barrel actually has decent, wholesome food...even more wholesome
and healthy than chicken-fried steak, if that is possible. :)

I'll bet you eat or have eaten...sausage gravy.

Damn straight. :)

With bisquits and grits.

I love me some grits. Can't get decent grits up around these parts.

My former fishing partner, lost his leg to diabetes and does not go on the
boat now, and neighbor is black. Married a black gal from BC Canada. She
tells the story of Cal asking for grits, and she could not find them at the
commisary. She had no idea what she was shopping for. Cal went with her
one day and says, here is the grits. She said "Wow, they must of finally
got some in". I like grits and biskuits and sausage for breakfast.
Holdover from being stationed at Biloxi. First episode with grits was not
good. Served on the meat loaf special and the green bean juice is flooding
the grits. Ewwwww.

I'm in California, no Waffle House, no Cracker Barrel.

We do have In n Out Burger.

AZ has Waffle house.

We used to eat tongue and beef heart quite a bit. Both were cheap.
Five boys in the family, and they didn't pay Air Force sergeants much

Grits should be eaten with an over-easy egg mushed therein and lots of
salt, pepper, and butter. Cheese grits are especially good this way.
