Hi Bubba! I live in Raleigh, NC--still southern by some standards,
but if you are in the Mississippi delta I imagine not.

Every Mom and Pop seafood house between here and the actual coast
serves a basket of hush puppies before the meal. Captain Stanley's,
in Garner NC had the best, but they have gone out of business.

There is also a very old place in Raleigh called 42nd Street Oyster
Bar (it was there during the Great Depression and is still there but
has been made "upscale') that serves a basket of hush puppies
with a ramekin of whipped butter for dipping. It's the
bypass-before-you're-fifty special.

Now then, whereabouts are you?

Now, now, Jill, as you know we have been talking about our
own beloved kitties for months in these groups. Among the other
things you need to learn is the fact that hyperbole and wild claims
that are completely unfounded in reality do nothing to advance
your credibility.

We long for harmony and happiness between the groups, and we
know how much you love good cat stories there in anecdotes, so
out of the pure love and goodness of our hearts we are going to
do our best to provide more Wonderful Cat Stories just to reward
you all for your kind natures and broad-minded intelligence.

By the same token, when you discuss cooking, why not bring
in the cooking groups? The more the merrier, and all on-topic.
Do you see some down side in this? I thought the cooking
folks would have great insights into pressure cooking and indeed
they did. I enjoyed their input. Didn't you?

Me too. I don't know what her problem is. You would think she
would welcome all the good cooking posts AND cat anecdotes
she can get. I have been reading rec.food.cooking for years.

Hello RFC. Please forgive the intrusion. The person you are reading,
"Mary", didn't get her way about a cat, so she's doing her best to troll the
rpca group. Please, if you see any posts from her, ignore them and killfile
her. It'll **** her off and she'll throw a tantrum in her own cat group,
rpch&b.

Thanks to all who want peace...

If they wanted to post the same question to rfc, they would do so in a
separate post. If people wanted ONE big news group... then why are
there so many separate ones? We are not all one big happy family. We
are a big contentious family and that's why there is more than one
newsgroup for every subject.

If you want to post and participate here, please stay... but don't
cross post. I'm not interested in their replies and they aren't
interested in mine.

Interesting. I have often seen hushpuppies served as a side dish with
a meal, but not served as an appetizer before a meal. I have lived in
Alabama (only as a young child), Tennessee, and Kentucky. In this
part of the south, you are more likely to be served a basket with
bread of some sort (yeast rolls, biscuits (what the English call
scones), or cornbread muffins) as an appetizer. A lot of restaurants
serve whatever you are drinking ahead of the meal, but no other form
of appetizer.

I looked around on the web and it seems some New Orleans restaurants also
serve hushpuppies as appetizers. There is a defininte correlation between
seafood and hushpuppies--but also, Carolina Barbecue places serve them
as an appetizer, too. Of course, there are lots of combination seafood and
barbecue places that serve hushpuppies as an appetizer. As an aside, I think
the thing that makes hushpuppies better than regular corn bread is the
onions
in them. Actually I am assuming there are onions--I think that is what the
flavor
is. But I have never made hushpuppies at home, though I have fried up many
a platter of catfish and oysters. Are you in Kentucky now, John? If so, I
have
a question for you.

I whored myself out alot in fine dining through H.S.
3-5 star dining, and we served muffins!
sweet muffins, If I failed to put a muffin
on a plate before anything else, I had to deal with chef.
You don't wanna deal with chef (least not till the munchies set in)

Incidently, do you know the muffin man?
That lives on Drewery Ln?
just curious

Okay.
