Saw me a good ol' B movie not too long ago where the bad guy was insulting
Suth'rin cooking by asking his 'captive' a Southern Gentleman 'do yoose guys
fry every damned thing you lay hands on!'......movie progresses, fight
ensues, good guy gets alone with the baddie.......sticks baddie's head in a
deep fat fryer...and retorts 'Nah, dude, THIS is how we fry things down
south'.....

I like Southern cooking, but that is one recipe I'd not like to
try......tempted to at times with some on this ng, but not that I'd ever do
it.

BTW, congealed salads are good, just don't let any PA Dutchies near them or
they will add red jello and pretzels (feh, spit, hork).
