I also am NOT very adventurous when it comes to new food either. (well, unless it's dessert! LOL) I'm not sure I want to try hog jowl, and don't like onions at all, but I'd be happy with the blackeyed peas, cornbread and fried green tomatoes (though I've never had fried green tomatoes either)
Yeah, but how bad can a tomato be, no matter what you do with it. Right? They were good. And the hog jowl was fried and a lot like thick bacon. Not bad at all - it just doesn't sound real good, does it?
