I was born in Ohio, husband on Staten Island. We’ve lived in Mississippi for 26 years. I missed your pulley comment & had to look it up. When I was young we had a wishbone pull in my family. If you got the wishbone you pulled it with another person & whoever got the bigger piece got to make a wish. I think the tradition came from my mom.
Boiled peanuts look like they came out of a horse’s hind end. No thanks.
Pulley bones are sold here in Alabama because they think it makes the best fried chicken. Basically it is a horizontal cut across the breast. The papers here call it The Montgomery Cut.
