In the US rural South, primarilty among the very poor and mostly African
American, cooked with sweet taters, greasy, somewhat porkish in color,
unappealing, not near as good as Hoover Hog (armadillo) which comes in its
own baking dish, but carries the Hansen's virus, enough to make you throw
in your hand while playing bridge - no, not the cards, the hand, Hansen's
being Leprosy (curable by today's antibiotics from the Streptomycin line,
IIRC).
