  • Yall know I love some good ol' fashioned cooking and food. Well it doesn't get any better than soup beans, over corn bread, with homemade chow chow and home cured fat back on the side. Better than cake in my opinion!

    Great video sister. Or maybe cousin kinfolk. My Father is from Asheville NC. He moved to New York city after fighting in Korea in the Marine Corps. He married a beautiful Black girl in 1965 and was shunned by his Family. Back then it was a different America. Now I want to learn so much about him and Appalachian culture, not to be embarrassed or feel bad about it loke he sadly did. These videos of you and listening to your voice reminds me of the Grandmother who loved me unconditionally as the only member who accepted me. Thank you so much ma'am ❤

    My mother was an old WVA gal. Soup beans and cornbread was a staple in our house. She used either a hambone or smoked hock. She'd cut up spring onions on the top and black pepper. My grandfather made those hams in WVA but we were living in northeast Ohio then. Good eats. Thank you your version looked awesome

    OMG...This is exactly the kind of food I grew up with. I am so tired of B.S. "southern cooking" This is the real deal. Pinto soup beans and chow-chow or corn relish is the real deal. I do not disagree with anything this woman said about this meal. I smiled so big when I watched her video. Don't know her from Adam's house cat, but she is a true southern cook.

    My wife grew up in the city as did I, but our parents grew up in the country. This meal is exactly what we ate as children and our children ate growing up. Just as a time reference, we are 65 and our children are 35. The grandchildren love pintos this way!

    I also love chow chow on my soup beans ladled over crumbled cornbread. My Mamaw couldn't have pork (for religious reasons), so for extra protein she always served her vegetarian soup beans as she had enjoyed them growing up in Appalachia: with a tall glass of ice-cold buttermilk to wash them down.

    Anytime I plan cook pinto beans I refer to them as “Texas Strawberries “. That’s what my dad called and it stuck. I soaked them overnight and I put a packet of salt pork And a couple of garlic and a whole onion. In the morning I start cooking slowly until they are malty. I don’t like onions but I do like their flavor so when the beans are done I pick onions pieces and give them to my wife.

    @jakemitchell1671 Рік тому +3

    Excellent! Just a couple questions: First, I use cast iron all the time and my beans never turn dark like that. I wonder what's different about your pan? Second, I didn't see where you used any seasonings for the beans, such as salt and pepper, maybe some garlic. I know the lard and ham adds much flavor, but I can't imagine beans without salt.

    • @TrueGritAppalachianWays
      @TrueGritAppalachianWays  Рік тому +1

We are Scots-Irish who moved down from Appalachia into Mississippi (where I live) and Arkansas (where I lived for 10 years). My dad taught me and my sister how to cook like real country folk - lots of beans, bean soup, greens, peas, usuall seasoned with salt pork, hamhock, smoked bacon, etc. We eat a lot of deer/venison, squirrel, rabbit, dove, turkey....fish like bass, bream, and crappie. I have mustard greens and black-eyed peas on the stove at this very moment!

    Be sure to heat your water that you have to add to your beans so they don’t have to start cooking all over again. There isn’t any juice in your beans to have beans and cornbread you must have juice, it’s the law 😂
