How Do You Say The Word, Our

Real southern food is wonderful.

NOT in Tennessee! Especially if you eat kosher

Honestly- the restaurants HERE (not talking Chattanooga) have the most terrible food. They can't even make a proper grilled cheese. We went out to breakfast one time, and I ordered my usual -scrambled eggs, hashbrowns with cheese, and toast. The waitress says "No meat?" and I say "No- I don't eat pork, thank you". So they cooked my "sheet" of scrambled eggs in bacon grease.

Sorry- I could go on for DAYS!

However- I would love to go to Savannah or New Orleans and completely binge.

Homecooking, baby. LOL Most restaurants don't make good food, especially southern. Italian food in a restaurant will never compare, for example, to what you get in an Italain grandmother's home.

My grandmother could cook the most wonderful food. But she often used fat back as a seasoning ingredient-which of course is pork. LOL Collards, black eye peas, homemade butter milk biscuits, sliced tomatoes, chicken with flat dumplings mmmmmm......

I thought that kosher meant that you can't combine milk with meat at all in the same meal. So, it isn't just not eating pork, correct? Also, I thought that the bowls and plates couldn't be mixed. So, you can't eat a meal if the same pot that cooked a milk dish was used to cook meat in. Am I wrong? My hubby tried to go kosher slowly but it is very difficult to do so in some parts of the south because pork is a staple in some of the cooking. It would be interesting to start an informative thread on eating kosher.

"OU" is a stricter version of kosher where you can't combine meat and dairy. But- when I say meat- fish is not included. (smoked salmon and cream cheese!

To simplify- Kosher is not eating pork, shellfish, or any animal not slaughtered in a humane way (approved by a rabbi)

I DO love southern style biscuits (minus the gravy). And REAL mac'n'cheese

are people who pronouce the type of car - a COUPE, and they pronounce it COOP.

When a man wears a TOUPE - you don't say TOOP.

I've only heard of the funeral cake, but I've seen the TN wedding cakes. It's a bunch of pancakes with icing in between.

FUNERAL CAKE

1 box devils food cake mix
1 box instant chocolate pudding (3.4 oz.)
4 eggs
8 oz. sour cream
1/2 c. warm water
1/2 c. Wesson oil
12 oz. milk chocolate chips

Combine ingredients in large bowl. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed with electric mixer. Pour into greased and floured Bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. When cool, turn on to cake plate and dust with powdered sugar. Test at 50 minutes for doneness by inserting knife, if it comes out clean the cake is done.


Ooooooh- do I HAVE to wait for a funeral to make this?

Any gravy- especially sausage. The only kind of gravy we eat is homemade paprikash.
