edited February 2002 in General Discussion
My wife just got back from grocery shopping, and I took a look at the weekly coupon circular. In the circular was an insert, which said "Join ACME in the celebration of BLACK HISTORY MONTH".The circular has several products on sale to help you celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH.The products are:CORN MUFFIN MIXBLACK EYE PEASMIXED GREENSCOLLARD GREENSWING SAUCEWING SEASONINGWINGSand LOUSIANA HOT SAUCE.Gosh. Where is the watermelon and fried chicken??!! I cant beleive this passed politically correct muster! I think I better call Jesse.

    Why do you think I have so many black friends? Cause they sure know how to eat right! Actually that ain't it, but a wonderful fringe benefit!

    I would take the ribs, but the Chicken Feet are a part of the Chinese "Dim Sum" buffet and I can tell you I can do without 'em -- in the first place they don't LOOK appetizing and there's no meat on those feet. But they do make a great coversation piece if you order them while out with friends. They will enliven your table.By the way, EYES ON THE PRIZE was as excellent a documentary as Ken Burns' series on the Civil War. If you ever thought of becoming more interested in Black History, you could do a lot worse than to rent this on tape or DVD and take the time to enjoy what it has to offer.

    In the south it is not "black" food, it is not "southern cookin", but it is known as "low country" cuisine; taught to this yankee by one * lady in Charleston South Carolina, who was gracious enough to educate me, and send me off to one of the best restaurants in Charleston, for truly one great dining experience.

    This damyankee still laughs when I think of going into the chicken palaces with my Southern pals and the expressions on their faces when *I* was the one ordering the gizzards! Many of these items are plain good country cooking, not just 'black', not just 'Southern!'

    I got turned off of "southern cooking" last summer when I stopped at a truckstop on I 85 in SC, went in for some b-fast, sat down at the table of this old and not quite so clean establishment. As I was browsing thru the menu I saw something that made me queasy,BREAKFAST SPECIAL--FRIED PIG BRAINS 2 EGGS TOAST AND COFFEE, $4.95. When the waitress came over(corn fed and she had B.O) I told her what I wanted, as she was writing it on her note pad I asked about the pig brains, asked her if it was real or a "local joke", she got mad and expained to me that untill I try it do not make fun of it,YUCK! I grew up on farms, have killed almost every kind of edible critter in PA(except elk), eaten most of my kills and a few I shouldnt have eaten, can clean a freshly killed beef or deer and eat with bloody hands and not get sick, it takes alot to make me ill, but the idea of placing brains on a skillet, cooking them and eating them makes me want to HURL!!!!!!!

    7mm, you and I are very different in that respect. I would have tried them. Might well have spit 'em out and ordered something else, but I sure would have tried them. Worst two things I've ever had were tripe, which was a special treat for my parents and jellyfish in a Chinese restaurant last year. In both cases the first bite went into a napkin in short order. I'm not criticizing you, but some of my favorite dishes are regional or ethnic specialties which on the surface are disgusting to someone raised w/ our cultural biases. I must have had the only kids for a hundred miles around who would choose tongue or escargot over burger / pizza / fries at age 8! Draw the line on eating insects as many Asian cultures do; that's one bias I cannot overcome.

    I like to ease on over to the Winn Dixie around noon,and order 1/2 lb gizzards and 1/2 lb livers thrown into the same bag.Ease on over and park under the shady tree in the far corner of the parkin` lot,and eat them with Louisianna Hot Sauce on`em...and wash`em down with tamarind soda..218

    There's a gas station here in Sioux City, Iowa that has chicken gizzards fresh and hot all day and into the night. Sometimes I spoil myself (about once a month on a Friday night) by stopping there on the way home and picking up a basket of the gizzards and some cold adult beverage and snack while I read posts here before hitting the hay. It's a real treat. I also found that they taste good with a little sour cream on them too! I usually order jo-jo's with the gizzards. They give me sour cream for the jo-jo's which I substitute with ketchup and then dip the gizzards in the sour cream.

    "Predgitous?"I caught a bad dose of that once in the Phillippines.

    Iconoclast--They are seasoned potato wedges.I have to say a word of thanks to SALZO for posting this thread. It got me all worked up and thinking about gizzards. I stopped in at the gas station to buy some gizzards for a late night snack after work this evening. At that time I just happened to bump into someone who approached me about joining the Army. She's a bright young lady with some college-level computer courses in her background and speaks very intelligently. Thanks for warming up my tastebuds. It turned a dead week into a potentially successful one!

    I just heard on the radio that a store ran a simular black history month special-They were having a sale on fried chicken. Someone complained and the offensive ad was removed.

    The gizzard is part of the crop. It is solid muscle, so it is very good to eat and there is no fat. In the live chicken, the gizzard is where gravel is stored and the muscles contract when grain enters, and the muscles and the gravel grind the grain.Gizzards are great. I never cared much for chicken livers, but I love it when Grandy's has a special on all you can eat gizzards for $2.99.Technically speaking, gizzards are part of the digestive system, but not the gut part.

    I actually have a can of pork brains in the pantry right now. Guess KY must be considered "backwards" cause they are on sale here year round in the stores. On a cold winters night nothing beats brains 'n eggs, cathead biscuits, grits, smoked sausage, gravy, and a big ol' cup of chickory coffee! Yum Yum! Makes me hungry just thinking bout it.

    I don't see how this relates to guns, but it reminds me of a story. A woman went to a cafe for lunch. "What's the special of the day?" she asked. "We have some nice beef tongue," was the reply. "What! I couldn't eat anything that came out of a cow's mouth. Give me an egg sandwich."My advice, eat and drink whatever you want, but in moderation.

    If we can't have soul food in black history month: Can we have Corned beef and cabbage on St Patricks Day?
