Southern food is known for
being extremely filling, utterly delicious and often strangely named,
with some of the names making a delicious dish actually sound
disgusting.
Take
chit'lins for example- sounds gross, tastes great, but who would think
to draw a connection between this dish and Medieval England?
Chitterlings
(deep fried pork intestines) date back to at least the 1400s, and while
the dish comes from England it's rarely eaten there today.
Livermush
is a surprisingly good mélange made of pork liver, head meat and
cornmeal that's fried up and served in a sandwich or with some eggs and
potatoes.
It sounds a bit like something you'd wipe off your shoe
after a trip to the slaughter house, but in this case the transparency
is like meatloaf- a description of what goes into the dish.
And before you get too creeped out to read on please note- there are no puppies used in the making of hush puppies.
