Soul Food Lunch
We had our annual soul food lunch and fundraiser at school today. I
brought red beans and rice. I ate fried chicken, dressing, green beans, collard greens, mac and cheese, squash casserole, okra, pinto beans, and cornbread, accompanied by tomato chutney and chow chow. I had sweet potato pie for dessert. The table also held ham, biscuits, potato salad, black-eyed peas, corn, plenty of dishes I'm forgetting, and many other desserts. Tara |

Ach... too bad you didn't snap some pics of that table... sounds scrum-dilly-umptious. |

While you're killing us, you may as well tell us how the okra was prepared. Baby okra boiled with chopped tomatoes and a little onion? or dipped in corn meal and fried a rich, dark brown? Polly |

It's some sort of a relish. I've never eaten it, but my guess is it's similar to the Italian Giardiniera relish, which I've never eaten either - but do know it's supposed to go on sandwiches. http://www.rachaelray.com/recipe.php?recipe_id=4593 -- Good Food.

I'm wondering if it can be used in place of hot pepper jelly because I used to have a great recipe for it, but the entire (hard copy) recipe folder was "lost" and the one I tried last summer was/is way too sweet for me in spite of using less sugar. -- Good Food.

I speak for myself, not the whole South or the whole state of NC. I have never made this particular relish but I do make another recipe of hers for a relish.

I sure wish I had the recipe for my granny's Green Tomato Relish. The Amish store version I buy is sweet and what I really want isn't. My BIL tries to make it like I remember; though not sweet, it is too "mushy" - perhaps over-cooked. What I want is not sweet and is firm. But, even not-granny's green tomato relish is better than no green tomato relish. As mentioned in the quoted post, I like it with pinto beans and corn bread - I also like it with eggs. Oh, what the heck, I like it with just about anything. 8-) |

I don't do collards or mustard greens, but I love Southern-style green beans, and well done carrots. --B |
