Question: Who has a fantastic hush puppy recipe? Next, what is the recipe. My
mom died several years ago, and one of my biggest boo-boos was my failure to get
that recipe.

Help!

You mean they're not shoes from the 60s?? or is this your joke about
boil catfish with & shoe for 2 hours; add salt, then eat the shoe??

Karen, there is the south, and then there is the deep south. Virginia is the
south. Alabama is the deep south. You are in the deep, deep south. Obviously you
haven't dined on the best the deep south has to offer -- fried catfish and
hushpuppies, with a little cole slaw thrown in to satisfy mama's need for a
veggie.

I am a California boy and hated coleslaw until I went to the South. Instead
of mayonnaise they fix it with a sugar and vinegar dressing. Probably black
strap molasses for the sugar.

Marzetti makes a pretty good cole slaw dressing in a jar. But, stores never
put it right there with the other salad dressings. It's always off to the
side with the quirky stuff, with names like "Organic Sue's Stone Ground
Poppy Seed Dressing". There's also a dry mix that my ex's mother uses which
is spectacular. She says the stores keep it in the produce department.
Greenish packet. I think she just adds milk.

Thanks Mark! This is a great recipe. Simple and good. Everyone enjoyed the hell
out of it, even my wife who normally won't touch cole slaw. This one is a
keeper!

The only change I made was to add about a teaspoon of coarse ground black
pepper, mainly for some color. Good Stuff!!
