Answer 2

Heres one that was cooked in TKAM i think. My grandma cooked these in the winter. I call it Green Grass a.k.a. Mustard greens. 12 bundles of Mustard Greens flour saltmeat onions rice You have to de-vain the mustard greens. ( take your fingers inbetween the big vains and pull the greens through). Rinse. Put the greens in a very big pot to boil in water on the stove. Prep your onions and salt meat. Once the greens are w/out water add half the pot more w/ water,add meat and onions. When it has just the bottom of water left add ya flour to take the wild taste out. Add some salt and pepper if needed. Cook dow untill the flour is completly mixed. Add some cooking ol if needed. The greens will cook down to almost nothing. They should look like cooked spinach and a creamy white sauce. Add some more water less than 1/2 the pot. Put some rice on to cook , when ready serve over rice. Vegetable Hobo Broccoli Cauliflower mushroom potatoes carrots one can of rotell diced tomotoes(origional) 2 cans of cheese sauce milk butter Take all your vegitable put them into a pan.

Here is one that I really like.

Southern-Fried Chicken

1 3 lb chicken, cut up
1/3 cup butter milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup lard

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a paper or plastic bag. Dip chicken in the buttermilk. Shake one or two pieces of chicken in bag to coat.

2. In a large deep cast iron frying pan, melt lard over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. I use the splatter test, put a little water on your fingers and flip it into the grease, when it splatters the heat is right. Add chicken pieces and cook turning frequently until brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain on paler towels
