Happy Thanksgiving, Art and all the Streaming Audio Guide readers!
Definitely missing NC sweet potatoes! Can’t get decent ones out here in the mountain west.
Enjoyed lots of delicious mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, and dressing to make up for it.
Is that squash between the peas and sweet potatoes?
I’m not sure exactly what it is – I was hoping you would tell me! It has an eggy taste maybe like grits – but I can’t rule out much of anything.
I’m not positive, but I think those are pinto beans rather than black eye peas. So much to learn, so little time. I think the cook is Sam’s daughter, who grew up in Mississippi, so this may be even deeper south food 😉
Thanksgiving in Mississauga was last month. 😉
That’s where they give thanks they don’t live in the United States with our backward healthcare system.
They give thanks to the Maple Leafs and other things every Columbus Day. 😉
At least as of a few years ago, Mississauga was Canada’s sixth largest city yet is virtually unknown to most Americans.
Then again, much about Canada is virtually unknown to most Americans.
Could be some sort of corn soufflé. There are many variations in various regions of the south, and even more variations still within individual families (with everyone using “grandma’s recipe”).
Same sort of varieties exists with both Chicken and Pastry and Barbecue — and each style is the ‘right one’ according to their fans.
For readers here who are not from the South, this song will explain to you what barbecue is (and is not):

You’re just trying to start a fight 😉
Everyone knows BBQ is pork, not beef!
The wholesale place I was working for the past year is exactly what is wrong with BBQ today. What they sell to restaurants is a very bland cooked beef, and the idea is the restaurant can make it into whatever style of BBQ they want by squirting on some sauce from a bottle. The whole point of BBQ is you cook it in the sauce.
The dominant type of BBQ in this area is Lexington style, which is a vinegar based pork with no tomato at all. It is often served with BBQ slaw, which I don’t care for – it’s made with cabbage and some other ingredients that make it brownish

Start a fight? Everyone knows that you can’t get real BBQ outside of Texas…. all that Carolina stuff is phony. lol
Was obviously kidding about the BBQ wars, but here is a story on hospitality in Elkins, I believe it is somewhere near the streamingradioguide.com server:
http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2013/11/29/shopper-claims-he-was-kicked-out-of-walmart-for-filming-black-friday-fight/
Elkin is up near the Virginia State Line. Good for Walmart. I’m close to “done” with people taking video of third parties and throwing it out in front of the world, usually with context removed. There is a difference between being in a public place and being a public person.
Elkins with an S is in West Virginia.
I see. Elkton is in Maryland – the northeast corner near Deleware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It is very popular this time of year with lots of visitors from Philadelphia.
Maryland has one of the country’s lowest liquor taxes and Pennsylvania has one of the highest. In Pennsylvania is it illegal to buy liquor from anyone other than the state government, and the state government has high liquor prices and a limited selection (and limited hours).
So naturally, it makes sense for Philadelphians to drive the half hour to Wilmington for the sales tax-free shopping and then pop over to Elkton to load the trunk with low cost booze for the holidays.
I grew up in Pennsylvania – a few years ago I posted a story about the state liquor agency installing an efficient warehouse computer system…. Talk about missing the forest by looking at the trees.
Just wait until the government saves us money on prescriptions by forcing all drugs to be purchased through the HHS
I ran it by my expert Southern food specialist and she says those are definitely black eye peas, and she concurs the yellow thing is a type of corn thing that might come in many varieties. I now have a second batch of turkey to work through in the fridge. It was a very good day getting some family memories accumulated. The kids are going to go from crawling on the floor to college so fast…
Thanks for the confirmations. I was thinking if those are not black eyed peas, they are what was commonly called ‘field peas’ which look very similar to the black eyed variety.
I had never heard of field peas so I looked them up. For others that are curious:

Man that food looked good Art! You have good neighbors.
I have idiots for neighbors. They are ‘toast’ when the Crap hits the fan !
You are right about the sweet Potato’s, Foyle. I picked up at least a bushel and a half in Walterboro SC last week. Had some this week, real good.
CC, there is good BBQ in Memphis TN. As soon as I can remember the place
Elkin, NC use to be a large Broyhill plant there Yadkin Valley Short line runs there.
Elkton, VA (near Harrisonburg VA) (they make Coors beer in Elkton)
Elkins, W. VA (Randolph County) Davis & Elkins Colleg or maybe university now. While there always stay at the Elkins Motor Lodge, and eat on site at the 1863 Tavern. Best dam crab cakes west of Baltimore Maryland. Yeah, very surprising.
Happy Thanksgiving guys, sorry I ‘m late

Who knew Elk could inspire so many names? … probably more then Springfield! Doh! 😉
