Lumpy's Gravy? or Good Gravy!
I just returned from a trip to South Carolina (lovely state) and saw something on many restaurant breakfast menus that I had not seen before. Can any of you southern FReepers tell me what "livermush" is?
Well, if there are crickets in it, it would be lumpy, Lumpy's good gravy!
Here's the recipe:
1 - handful of salt-dried crickets gathered from the shores of the Great Salt Lake.
1- jigger of rum
1- Tbs flour
1 or 2- jiggers of vodka
3- Tbs bacon fat or lard
8 oz bourbon
3-cups water you boiled the sego root in.
Tequila
Brown the flour and fat in a hot skillet. Sip rum. Add root water (all at once) to the scorched flour. Drink vodka. Stir until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in Crickets to the mess. Knock back the bourbon. Serve over day (or week) old bread. Pass the bottle of tequila. Who the hell cares what it tastes like!
