Cultural Cuisine in your area

[Weedygarden]

I know people who eat graham crackers with milk over them in a bowl. My grandfather used to eat leftover gravy over bread after he had eaten his meal. I don't know for sure, but I'd bet this was common for him when he was homesteading, whatever game he had gotten cooked, gravy and bread. I never saw him cook, but he was 14 to around 18 when he was homesteading on his father's claim, and was often there alone, so he had to cook.

My Grandma always had a bowl of bacon dripping on the table with every meal. They would dip their biscuits in the bowl instead of buttering them.
When we have cornbread I always crumble it up in a glass of milk at the end of supper for dessert.

 

[Amish Heart]

We use to layer applesauce on graham crackers, make a stack, set it in the fridge to let it soak in.
And viola! Cake!

My Mom made these also.
You and I came from opposite sides of the country but we could be related.

 

[SLADE]

When I was a kid we lived on fish and game stem to stern but also such classics as sos wth chipped beef.
Other dishes were slumgullion, liver and onions, spam with macaroni and cheese, horse meat hamburg, roasted raccoon, johnny cake.
All the normal things people eat.

One of Elvis Presley's favorite. He liked them fried...I don't.

Great snack after working all day.

When my wife eats a peanut butter and banana sandwich I won't even kiss her till she brushes her teeth. I just hate the smell.

I grew up eating those, not fried. I still love them. I actually like them for dinner while working in the garden. Not really super filling, but sure does stick to your ribs while bustin your hump. Get you thru to supper

Ahh, fig jam!
Worth all the work.
But you have to use the small brown figs, not the big turkey figs.
Don't ask me how I know

I just helped my mom. She did the magic.
Looks like this:

Notice the figs are teardrop shaped, not round and fat.
This is a guy's hand (mine), holding a turkey fig below.

 

[Meerkat]

Southern country cooking far as restaurant nearby,but within 20 30 miles all cuisines.

 

[Meerkat]

Just curious about the cultural foods from different areas of the country.

What is on your plate , most likely , at your house or favorite restaurant.

In my household being raised on Southern(KY, TN)
We eat , and love , different foods than folks in different areas.
Here is a sample of a KY plate.
View attachment 64415
Fried chicken, fried okra, mac and cheese, turnip greens, cornbread , and of course ice tea.

Is this common to your house?

Jim

Plenty of that around here.

We had hail balls that size the other night in N Tx. But really, looks great! Nothing like Mom's cooking!

A delightful, tasteless, but easy to prepare frozen pizza. I will never order from Domino's again. Luckily, no photo's were taken, and I have not yet died of food poisoning.

A breakfast staple around here is table syrup poured onto a plate, enough peanut butter stirred in to thicken it. Then sopped up with a biscuit. That was the dessert portion.

We always mix and stirred butter into our sorghum molasses and sopped it with biscuits .

Wife even does it with blackberry jelly.

Good stuff.

Speaking of desserts..

Coconut chess pie

Yep, here also, butter was used as often as peanut butter. Peanut butter happened to be my favorite. It didn't have to be syrup either, sometimes molasses and honey were used.

I used to make these, when I was younger and thinner. Have you ever had them with peanut butter? Yum!

 

[Weedygarden]

One of my cousins eats peanut butter and raw onion sandwiches. She learned about them from her mother's sister. I love onions, but I can't imagine eating one of these sandwiches.

 

[sonya123]

I am reading through this list thinking.....you'all eat some strange food......

 

[Amish Heart]

Amish Peanut butter is popular here. It's spread on church cookies, which are a puffy, soft buttermilk sugar cookie. The peanut butter is just: creamy peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and syrup all mixed together.

I grew up on the ones without peanut butter...therefore the first ones that I had with PB , I spit it out.
Can't stand PB in those .
I can't stand PB in ice cream or pie either.
PB is made to go on bread and jelly or banana only

I understand that. I find it interesting how I go for years liking some foods, and then all of a sudden, not. And vice versa.
