I used to look south and cringe at the idea of that casserole. It
reminded me too much of a visit to my great uncles farm and watching him
slop the pigs. However, in my mother's later years I helped her cook
Christmas dinner for the family and I was assigned the job of preparing
the green bean casserole. She thought that if so many Americans liked
it, it must be good. I have to admit that it was surprisingly good.
