Olyve~My grandma had my mother later in age. She was the 7th out of 9 kids. They lived in Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Missouri before moving to the Central Valley of California. They were migrant workers. Grandma hunted meat, because she couldn't afford to buy meat. She only had a buckboard for transportation until around 1950. Never had indoor plumbing(my mother and grandmother) until they came to California. I cannot imagine living that way. I never did. I never ate squirrel, chipmunk, oppossum, bear or coon. Only fish, poultry, beef, pork, lamb and veal. My mom had eaten oppossum, but didn't care for it. She did, however, love pickled pigs' feet-I thought they were gross!

She also used to take leftover cornbread, crumble it up into a tall glass with chopped green onion and pour buttermilk over it. Yuck!


milk and Girl Scout cookies ;-)
