Southern Food Quotes
On a hot day in Virginia, I know nothing more comforting than a fine spiced pickle, brought up trout-like from the sparkling depths of the aromatic jar below the stairs of Aunt Sally’s cellar.

To make Apple-Fritters
Beat the yolks of eight eggs, and the whites of four well together and strain them into a pan; then take a quart of cream, make it as hot as you can bear your finger in it; then put to it a quartter of a pint of sack, three quarters of a pint of ale, and make a posset of it.When it is cool, put in nutmeg, ginger, salt, and flour, to your liking. Your batter should be pretty thick, then put in pippins sliced or scraped, and fry them in a deal of butter quick.
