There were often detailed discussions in Church about the coma inducing meals many felt entitled to indulge in after service even though no fasting had occurred previously. We southerners and our fried chicken, beans, greens and cornbread with just a spoonful of Banana Puddin. I think Banana puddin is an attractant for noseeums.
Ah, closest I got to a Southern church was a Catholic service in Springfield IL, where they chanted Latin with a Southern accent. I can still hear it to this day and am perfectly charmed.
