So you've never had stewed tomatoes and okra over grits I take it? Lol

Yeah, it's a delicacy down here. I remember all the northern boys faces the first time they'd try grits and okra at Benning. Stewed okra, picked okra, friend okra ... we ate a lot of okra.

I think the mess halls used to get a lot of produce the public wasn't eating .... baby heads was another one. I really developed a taste for baby heads with butter and Worcestershire ... still love'm to this day.








































You know .... baby heads.
