Where I grew up everything was boiled forever with hog jowl, ham hock or fat 
back then was served with pepper sauce, jalapenos from the garden and/or 
homemade hot chow chow.  My belief is that Southern food is served with such 
hot stuff because of 1) every body suffers from sinus problems and, 
therefore, cannot smell or taste, or 2) the high incidence of alcoholism 
results in the same loss. (Now I am speaking of the Mississippi Delta where 
both problems are the norm.) I was grown before I knew what some vegetables 
really tasted like. <LOL> I still like them with all the condiments, but now 
I like them plain, too.
