That's the kind of "north" I was referring to when I spoke of my pig feet-eating grandmother. Writing about that got me to thinking...I never actually saw her eat them so I don't know if she ate them with something (like crackers, as earlier mentioned) or with a knife and fork or.... I may have to ask my mom.
I think of Grandma every time I go down that aisle in the grocery store and see those pickled pig's feet. So while I may not eat them, I'm glad someone else does and the stores still carry them.

My father tried to teach me to hunt them when I was a child and then they would fry them. Not me.
I believe the West Indies crab salad was originated at the old Bailey's restaurant in south alabama. Heavenly

I don't think I remember Fletcher's Barbe que restaurant--what is it close to?
I have caught many mullet myself with a cast net.
Do you know Mary's restaurant? I think it may still be there
We would go there after fishing in the gulf all day on the boat and I am going to go there again someday if it is still there. It was a small restaurant and they had starched white tablecloths and served the same dinner family style to each table. The dinner was gumbo, the dark black hot kind, fried chicken, fried oysters, shrimp. fish, wonderful deviled crab, as many as you wanted. I don't remember what all else. It was not all fried and greasy though. Great great food and atmosphere too. Oh yes, wonderful shrimp creole served over rice. And fabulous cornbread sticks. I'm not sure exactly where it is. It may be near Bon Secour

Fletcher's was in Mobile, closed now..
You'd rather eat boiled peanuts than roasted peanuts.

I PROMISE I am not trying to intrude too much on an Alabama thread! It is just that I find it interesting and have family roots there (great-great-grandma and her bunch from LA and migrated to TX after the War). But anyway, the neat thing is that so much of what has been noted could apply to "you know you are from Texas if..." too.
This 'un really got me. That is: "I reckon" and "over yonder" I don't know about you Alabmans, but the term a lot of us Texans have found almost impossible to translate to a yankee is "yonder".
It is one of those things that only a Southerner understands. That is, it is "the distance between oneself and the object in question, regardless of the distance."
