Many years ago I was a supervisor and one of the guys in my department
was an older black guy. Every day his wife would pack his lunch but he
preferred to go across the street to the bar and drink his lunch. Every
morning he brought me the brown bag and said "my wife made this for
you". One day it would be a bone in chicken thigh sandwich, another day
a bone in pork chop sandwich. It was fantastic food.

Not sure how she cooked stuff but it was never dry, always tasty and
tender. Never any greens.
