Weird, eh? They slow cooked the pole beans yet they "braised" the collard greens. Switch those around, folks. Collards need to be slowly cooked in lots of water. Otherwise you just wind up with some very tough, leafy greens. The "tangle" of artisan greens with vegetables is their fancy way of describing salad. ![]() What about the Charleston Chicken Curry? I don't consider curry to be a low country dish at all. Jill |

I don't know if being considered a vegetable side choice is a result of the 'low-country' thing or not. Uses of mac & cheese puzzle me. To me, mac & cheese is the main course. To others it is another side dish in an expansive holiday meal. Still others consider it a 'vegetable' side dish. I don't get it. To me it is a rather humble way of putting a meal together.

I was always puzzled when mac & cheese was listed as a vegetable side choice on menus in Memphis. I always thought "Really? Since when is mac and cheese a vegetable?" LOL I never did figure it out. To me, baked macaroni & cheese is a main dish. Not from anywhere in particular. Just nice comfort food. Jill |

That or scalloped or au gratin potates. It was dinner. My mom used to add cut up 'Lil' Smokies' sausages to the macaroni & cheese. Sometimes cooked ground beef. She was trying to stretch the meal to feed five people. She grew up during the Depression so that's just what she did. <shrug> I do love baked mac & cheese. I'll take it even without anything added.. but it must have buttered breadcrumbs sprinkled on the top. ![]() Jill |

I am talking real macaroni and cheese, not the crap in a box. My grandmother used to serve it with baked ham. I think it was her Saturday night menu... Macaroni and cheese, baked ham, salad and stewed tomatoes. |

She never added meat, although I had it once with very spiced ground beef and loved it even better. She said she used cooked macaroni noodles and lots of Velvetta cheese back in the day. I loved the topping best...the browned and almost blackened cheese. My brother and sister got very little of that. ![]() |

I've never been fond of it, and now it's just too much carbs and fat. If memory serves, a cooked vegetable like green beans or broccoli. Cindy Hamilton |

You had to massage the dye through the white margarine. That way no one would mistake it for the real thing -- butter. Janet US |

I'll have to place my trust on your expertise. I did know about the yellow dye and margarine which leads me to believe that my parents had to do the same thing in Hawaii back in the 40s/50's. https://usercontent2.hubstatic.com/6943059_f520.jpg |

We know a family who prides themselves in making the best macaroni and cheese. Mother, father and son take turns trying to outdo each other. I have had it several times, and no matter which of them makes it, it is good. |
