WALKING ON NEWGRASS DRIVELER #356

[fishfryer]

Now my mother was born in Wilcox county Ga and they are some pea and cornbread eating people. They ain’t much for green beans. They do luv eating bream. Throw nothing back. Call those little ones tater chips.

Now you're talking,that's my kind of folks. I love catching big bream,but I love eating three finger bream. Any bream that gets in my way is in eminent danger.

I like my peas along with Lima beans or butter peas. I ate so many green beans growing up I’m just not that fond of them now. Had them three or four nights a week from I was old enough to know what they were till I left home.

They way I like green beans is cooked with new potatoes. I don't like them grilled or half raw either.

I like shuck beans, think you fellas call them leather britches

Just to show y’all how old school my folks were they didn’t eat beef cause there was no way for them to preserve it as easy as pork growing up. I never had a beef steak myself till I was twenty years old. Ate a ton of deer meat though.

TB, I don’t have memory of beef, just pork and poultry.

The only leather britches beans I’m familiar with are those dried in the pod then rehydrated in a pot of water on the stove all day. My father and his people dried them that way to preserve them to eat till the following growing season.

It wasn't often that old folks ate beef here in the south for the reason you posted. That was a big animal to preserve without refrigeration in the hot south. Jerky was not even practical,farming took up the time it would take to can that much meat.

Yep, you string them and dry them where it’s not dusty.

"Daisey" still ain't fond of beef, the first she ever ate was when her pet milkcow died.

Folks dug cellars in the face of the ridges, stayed pretty cool in the summer for storage. Milk and butter were put in sealed buckets and left in a spring until electricity came to the holler.

Well that’s understandable but I was raised on a farm and no animals were pets. The closest thing were the bird dogs but they stayed kenneled. Mom had a cat but it was an inside cat cause even as a five year old boy I couldn’t stand a cat and would kill one if I got the chance. I guess that’s why I loved raising blue ticks. They save me the trouble of doing it my self. Didn’t need no barn cats cause I would sit there all day to shoot rats.

Yeah, I still have fun trying to convince my niece and nephew that their Grandma didn't have electricity in their house till she was in high school. They got a indoor bathroom the next year.

Good evening to all the reminiscing drivelers.
100 bales of pine stray spread,3 - 30 ft oak limbs cut up and stacked.,40 bags of topsoil placed around foundation.I,m a tired puppy.
I always thought peas were grown south and beans in the mountains because of climate in the area.Only thing I don,t like is the big jumbo butter beans,,,every other bean and pea can be placed on my plate and will be eaten.

For the most part that’s true.
