Found this gem in “The Louisiana Plantation Cookbook.”

We've got a couple old ones and a couple that are jokes. Eventually I'll run into one of the joke ones and return.

It ain't a cookbook but is old stuff old hillbilly people said.

High on the hog is living rich.


Foxfire. Cool books

Sometimes you don't know what you have until you look for old cookbooks.

Wild America?
Score.

Excuse me?
It says use lard right away then later "no ham fat".
?!?!.
Uhhh..ok

You caught that too! It’s a Caucasian written but stolen from slave cooks kind of cookbook. I’m sure it’s racism at its finest, but does have some interesting recipes. That New Orleans gumbo doesn’t list Andouille sausage? Maybe sausage stuffing wasn’t popular before the Civil War? Just use ham, it’s smoky enough.

You'd like reading old man and the boy.
It's written kind of in a different sort of anglish
like the recipe
