Yuck. Not that stuff that looks like vomit with French's fried onion rings (from a can) on top.

Thankfully, my mom was able to get the recipe, and it lives on in my own cookbook.


Why don't you share this recipe with us?

This is not a shot at you, but I’ve lived my entire life in the South, and I’ve never heard of that.

Seriously? It comes from Georgia/Virginia/Carolinas area of the South. I'll see it as a side occasionally at BBQ places in Memphis too. I guess if you've spent most of your time on the Texas/Louisiana side of the South you might not have seen it or cooked it growing up

Basically whatever leftover meat you might have, butter beans, corn, okra in a tomato based stew

Ultimate southern meal. Pork roast and gravy over rice. Purple hull peas, skillet smothered okra with onions, fresh tomato and cucumber, and cornbread.

I love fried okra, but when you get it in a restaurant, it's amazing how many places can't really cook it, turning it instead into hard little rocks with a thick batter. You can't even taste the okra.

Brunswick stew is something I always associate with Kentucky, too. Seems like a lot of folks there like it.

I was going to say carrot soufflé because Piccadilly always had it

But it’s French

fried okra is my favorite ‘southern’ side dish

I do love squash and greens too

I might consider jambalaya as one of my favorite sides although it can also be an entree.

My favorite southern side dish is another piece of fried chicken.
