Re: Holiday Food

Zem,

Since moving south a couple of decades ago, I've tried southern cooking,
esp. holiday food. I can *not get my husband to eat either black-eyed peas
or collard greens, except a token spoonful. I think I'm gonna try Luck's
seasoned black-eyed peas this year, and add some extra ham instead of
cooking them from scratch.

My neighbors don't do potato salad and fried chicken for New Years. Is that
Tennessee, or family?

I'm also grateful that it's not chitterlings!

Daryl
