Cook the Book: New South Grilling

shrimp - my dad would make these 'shrimp boils' with everything in it, including cobs of corn, small whole onions, whole potatoes etc - and then would spread newspaper over the table to absorb the mess we'd make from eating.

Olive oil and garlic - I love garlic on everything.

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

I'm growing tomatoes, banana peppers, bell peppers, pumpkins, watermelon, zuchini, butternut squash and hot peppers. I also have fruit trees (peach, plum and orange) and pecan trees. Next year I'm going to make a small strawberry bed.

I love cornbread! My husband makes some good cornbread, but I've never had any that I didn't like.

New Year's Day pork and sauerkraut when my parents were still living. They hadn't had it before and we all needed some good luck.

One of my best memories was at a summer pig roast. That was the best pig I have ever had.

Thankfully MANY fond pork memories. But one that stands out is my wife's late Uncle John's bbq pork spareribs. It seems like we waited FOREVER for them to be done. I was sure they would be dried out. But instead they were the most flavorful, tender and succulent ribs I ever tasted! Sadly, he would never share his secret recipe, and took it to the grave with him. They will remain legendary!

Pork is king.
One of my first memories was of my mom, for reasons I cannot fathom, cutting the fat off the pork chops and sizzling them in a pan. My sisters and I would fight over them and there would never be any left for whatever it was mom was trying to cook.... go figure :)
Also the incredible 'poor soup' that I don't know why I still crave: Boiled salt pork with wax beans, salt and pepper...
Roast pork with it's crunchy fat layer studded with garlic is sheer heaven!

Ooooohhhhh! PORK!!!!! Is there any better smell than bacon frying up in a skillet or a ham, covered with a brown sugar glaze, baking in the oven?...or a real vinegar based bbq pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top?....ohhhhh!...Dear Lard, I would love to win this prize!

The first time that I had barbecue any where outside of Texas, and realized that pork could almost be prepared as well as beef.

Eating bacon-wrapped dates at a friends house for New Year's Eve. I make them all the time now.

My fondest memory is the pork chops that my dad would burn - i mean barbeque on the grill when I was little. It wasn't until I was in my 20's that I ever had an unburnt pork chop!! Yummy!!

I'm pretty sure it was when I tried a Godfather's pizza years and years ago. They had a spicy italian sausage which was absolutely amazing!

The first time I ever ate bacon was wonderful.. I couldn't believe I had gone so long without it!

My pork memories are not really all that memorable since my mother is Jewish, we don't eat pork very often. I don't know if it exactly what you are looking for, but whenever we do have pork, it is a sort of tradition in my family to make sure to offer my mom some even though we know that she won't eat it. Thanks for the giveaway.

My grandfather, a farmer from Missouri, would always bring us a box of fresh sausage when he came to visit for Christmas. That and left-over honey baked ham make Christmas breakfast perfect.

growing up in the 40'sand 50's,when meat was still very tasty,I canb still taste the dark, crunchy ham rinds,that mother would dole out to us kids. Of course this would be FORBIDDDEN in today's world. People under 55 will never know what real food tasted like.
