favourite food!

okay, you all are making me hungry! I use to be a pretty picky eater in my younger days then I was lucky enough to be able to live in several different parts of the world. LOL I had to eat local fare or go hungry. Surprise! Most of it was wonderful! But, I'm still a southern girl at heart and one of my favorite menu is a fresh veggie dinner (that's what we call lunch in the south) It would consist of: field peas, fried okra (sliced very thin and breaded in white cornmeal, not the horrible fried okra you get in most restruants) stewed white field corn (not the yucky yellow cream corn from a can. Cream corn and stewed corn are two different things), pinto beans, copper penny carrots, cole slaw, fresh sliced tomatos, cornbread w/butter (made with white cornmeal and NO sugar), sweet ice tea and pecan pie. (If pecan pie isn't available turtle cheese cake will do even though it isn't typically southern) Having lived on the coast I also love shrimp and oysters. There isn't anything like a low country boil on the beach with a pit of coals covered with a piece of tin for roasting oysters on the side. Top that meal off with icy cold beer. I think I've gained a couple of pounds reading this thread so I'm off to the pool.
