Look out - the food police are coming!!

The world's best meal IMO would make them apoplectic:

Breaded and fried catfish, freedom fries, a thick slice of raw vidalia onion, lemon (fresh), tartar sauce, and hushpuppies washed down with sweet tea and lemon icebox pie for dessert. It just doesn't get any better than that! HE he he!!

Man, that sounds good! My favorite no-no meal is of Hungarian origin. Take a piece of fat back bacon, put it on an iron skewer, slowly roast over an open fire until the grease starts to drip. Put the drippings on fresh rye bread, add lettuce, tomato, onion, salt and pepper, more grease to taste. Continue to make pieces of greasy bread from the bacon until the slight bit of meat is cooked, cut that off and eat it. Roast the bacon until all the fat is gone from the rind. Eat the rind. Peppers can be roasted with the bacon if you like. Grew up eating this manna from heaven. That is probably why I no longer have a gall bladder.

Sounds wonderful. How about deep fried chicken with gravy, mashed potatoes, collards cooked with streak o lean, sweet cornbread dripping with butter and fresh from the garden BigBoy tomatoes? Chocolate icebox cake for desert.

(Of course, I had brown rice and chicken with fresh greenbeans, no butter for dinner.) ~sigh~

My mother was a dietician in a county hospital in the NY metropolitan area. Many of the kitchen workers were black women originally from the South who made the most delicious Southern food. My mother has such fond memories of that. She still talks about it, especially when she comes home from visiting my sister and her husband who believe in low-to-no-fat cooking -- food that is basically absent of any fat and doesn't even stick together when it's supposed to.

Food needs fat to make it taste good. People won't eat food that doesn't taste good. The food nazis are fighting a losing battle.

Forgot the white beans...yum, yum! (I'd probably sub peach cobbler for the icebox pie).

That's fine, except I'd prefer my Vidalia onion rings FRIED! ;o)

This sounds like the meals at one of my favorite restaurants in Arkansas on the White River.....yum!

ain't complete or healthy without some greens cooked with ham hocks and doused with the pepper sauce (you know, the one you refill until the peppers turn grey, then you eat the peppers)
