Southern Food Quotes
The summer picnic gave the ladies a chance to show off their baking hands. On the barbeque pit, chicken and spareribs sputtered in their own fat and a sauce whose recipe was guarded in the family like a scandalous affair.

“As the name would indicate this punch is dear to the hearts as well as the palates of the southern people and is used always to entertain distinguished guests. All the presidents and distinguished potentates have drunk deep of this delicious concoction. In spite of a declaration of a distinguished southerner,that one glass of this punch would make you climb the nearest lamp post, two glasses will make unable to reach the lamp post, the third, alas! will make you fight yourself.
One and a half gals. (6 qts.) Jamaican rum, 8 qts. Apollinaris, 2 lbs. sugar, 1 jar or can of maraschino cherries, 1 and 1/2 dozen lemons, 1 can sliced pineapple,1 small tumbler raspberry cordial. Reserve 3 qts. of apollinaris; just before serving add, to produce an effervescent effect. It is best to place a bowl of punch on a block of ice for some times before serving, instead of in the punch. Then look out for the nearest lamp post!”
