So I was surfing the web, and came up with a recipe for VINEGAR PIE! :o Sounds awful to me, but it's supposed to be an old southern standby, and tasty...any of you FFers south of the Mason-Dixon line tried it?
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_17066,00.html
That recipe sounds better than others I've seen cause of all the lemon flavoring. I never made it but I think the vinegar just adds TANG.
;D
Check out page 44 in the Joy of cooking for a Forestry drink made with vinegar.....
Fruit shrubs :D
Hmm...but if you added TANG, wouldn't it be more orangey then lemony? :D
Just had orange baked ham for the first time tonight. ;)
Yup, but still hard to beat a southern pecan pie. Or chess pie, or sweet tator pie, or...........................DanG, got to go get something to eat.
Maybe I,m not far enough south, but I aint never heard of that.
Kinda partial to apple myself.
Nope, never heard of it either. ::)
I've heard of it but never had any. Somebody put some vinegar in an apple pie my wife got from the store the other day and it was so tart that I couldn't breathe for a minute. Don't think I like vinegar in pie. :-/
Quote Don't think I like vinegar in pie. :-/
Yep. I agree, kinda like gettin grits in yer eggs. BLAH! ;)
See! There you go again. I tried and tried to show you how to do it and you just won't listen. :-/
Y'er s'posed to put the eggs in the grits :P ::) No wonder you're having trouble with y'er taste buds ;D
That's kinda how I do it with a little variation. First I put the grits in my chickens and then eat the eggs. :D
Way to go Norm ;D I knew somebody had a good recipe for grits. :D :D :D
:D According to Norm I had a bacon, cheese and grits omlet this morning ;D
You Yankees can knock them Grits all ya want. I read about that LUTE stuff Y'all make up there. I believe that's what the school used to give ya for pastin paper together. ;) ;)
Had some Hush Puppies with Vinegar in 'em. ANOTHER Yankee variation on how to ruin GOOD food. :) :) :) ;D
Vinegar is supposed to go on souse and french fries. A nice plate of souse smothered in vinegar will get your lips smackin' :-*
I don't eat that Lutyfisk either :o
But I have tried the Canadian's love for vinegar on fries, not bad. I like gravy better, wierd but tasty.
LUTE stuff ? What the heck is that?
Ya got me. ??? ??? ??? ??? I read it here on the forum. Comes from upper Yankee Land ??? ??? ??? ???
Nope......never heard of vinegar pie........and after reading the recipe let me be one of the first to say EWWWWWWW! Had lots of pecan and key lime over Thanksgiving...mmmmmmm

I ain't much for eating pie, or other sweets, for that matter. I usually just get another serving of grits fer dessert. ;D
I ain't never herd of this Viniger pie myself. I did spend my first 21 years in Georgia and sometimes it took a while for things to get where they were going.
With the limited time I have spent North of the Masson Dixon Line, I am convienced that the unfortunite ones up there are handicaped in the what tastes good department. I believe it comes form all that cold weather and it effects their tast buds.
I have had a bait or two of it. It will make you pucker up a bit like a perssimon 'fore a hard freeze. It is not bad and if you got no grits it is good.
Now I was wondering how many have had squirrel brains and scrambled eggs? ??? Or another fine southern dish of red eye gravey? ??? And by the way gravey should be a fork food.

A couple I know went on a honeymoon to Memphis. She asked for some buns with breakfast and the waitress gave her a strange look. When the waitress figured out what my friend wanted she slapped herself on the butt and declared"Honey, dems is buns" and pointing to the food"dems is biscuits". My friend still turns red when that story comes up.
Quote Now I was wondering how many have had squirrel brains and scrambled eggs?
Hmm...never had any squirrel brains--are they tasty with the scrambled eggs? :o
I've eaten sweetbreads with mashed potatoes though, otherwise known as a cow's thymus gland. They're TASTY! ;) I've eaten some snails before--they were alright, and sound a lot better when you call 'em escargot.
Ain't never had me no grits though... :D
There is a small bakery making doughnuts and when I drive by there I sometimes stop and buy a box of them. The man who owns the bakery is very nice and like jokes. Once he asked: Do You want them doughnuts filled with apple preserve, raspberry jam, vanilla or ..............shrimps? :o
It was one of these 2 days a year my brain works so I asked for doughnuts with tinned sprats cured in brine. ;D
Nowadays he never offers me shrimps filled doughnuts.
Swede.
Can't say as I ever had any viniger pie, I have had green tomato pie tho', that was real good.
Hey Arky red eye gravy and hog jowls is a feast for kings. Desert gotta be pickeled pigs foot. ;D
Not my favorite but I can handle the squirrel brains and eggs, I could tell ya how ya fry em up and crack the skull with the back of a knife but I'll leave that to someone else, and the red eye gravy and biscuits is without a doubt some of the best breakfast food on earth, but I just don't think I'd a have a hankering for viniger pie, or pickled pigs feet, I've seen where pigs put their feet. .
AND..........thinking that to eat snails i'd a have to be both hungry and drunk, and since I don't drink no more I reckon it ain't a gonna be much chance i'll be trying them any time soon.
Ck that's what grand Pa use to do to them tree rats ::) And they an't disstilled enough spirits yet for me to eat that s car go ;D Now that country ham an red eye gravy yum yum 8)
Outside of my Texas wife one of the best things I found in the south was red eye gravy! Then there's greens, jalapeno corn bread and chicken fried steak.
Now I have had claves brains on rye toast with sauerkraut but I've never had squirrel brains. My wife is Cajun/Cherokee/Irish (ya'll can only imagine the woman's temper!) and she tells me when she was young and her and her daddy would go squirrel hunting he would say "Make shore you hit em in the head, cause I can't stand it when you're Granny smacks em on the skull and eats their brains" she became a pretty good shot!
Bein as how my young'uns was raised in Arkansas, They sometimes make Chocolate Gravy. There was 1 feller out there that could make it so everyone around would want some.
You would think there would be biscuits and gravy served more often around here, but, not so.
This is an interesting thread. I have never heard of a lot of the dishes being discussed. Americans complain they can't get biscuits and gravy in restaurants here but we are not accustomed to it. Wild turkey (not the bourbon) is almost non-existent.
I am wondering what we have that you Americans find unusual, other than our beer and rye. Vinegar pie does not sound appealling to me either but its great with fish and chips
Seagrams rye, my favorite Canadian export. Can't get it here.
I'm a fan of that Canadian bacon, but it just seems like a hunk of ham to me... ::) Oh...and Labatt's ain't all that bad either! ;D
Ya'll is starten to make me hungry. I'll have to get some traps set so I can have me some broiled beaver tail with fresh ground horseradish. Yummm!!
I'm kind of a Meat & Tater guy, I think some of you guy's might want
to seek some Professional Help, on what you should be eating :D :D :D :D ;D
Back to the pie,yes it is very good.But I also eat grits and greens with corn bread.SOUL FOOD!
