Oh, yes, I know just the ones! I am in Southern cooking heaven. Hog heaven is not a metaphor here.

I live across the street from a 'diner', which this non-southern vegetarian imagined would be like some of its Northern cousins. Sigh... My first meal there, the only thing I COULD slop on my plate from the buffet was green beans. Imagine my surprise to find those things floating in them.....

Doesn't mean I can't cook 'em that way, though. If I have to, I can do mean barbecue, and even better biscuits. Like sweet potato pie? That's a holdover from my Charleston days, but cuts that salty fat flavor nicely ;)
