Knox was born in Seattle, Washington
This explains a lot!!
She was never fed any cornbread or black-eyed peas or chitlins!!
I am real close to Seattle and I have eaten all three. You southern boys ain't the only ones who know what's good.
Btw Cornbread is best made from dried sweet corn that is ground less than an hour from the oven and cooked in cast iron on a stove like this.
