Another thing about rednecks is there has to be an element of danger.

How about catfish, but it has to be caught by hand.

I think redneck cookin' should always have something fried:  Okra (pronounced "okree"), taters, chicken, green tomaters, chicken fried steak, catfish, hushpuppies, etc.   Shucks, you could deep fry the disrag and I'd eat it!  Don't never fergit that absolute acme of redneck perfection, neither -- the fried boloney sandwich:

1/4" thick slab of real boloney.  Fry in lard until nicely browned.  Put between two slices of fresh Wonder Bread along with some fresh sliced home grown tomaters and a big glob of Duke's mayo.  To make it fancy add a little salt and pepper.  Ya gotta eat this thang over the sink, though cause it'll spilt goo all over your  belly if'n ya don't.

Hub, if you take a big thick slice of a Sand Mountain tomato, one that covers the whole piece of bread, on one side and a big thick slice of Vidalia onion on the other you have gourmet redneck food.

I don't know that we have helped much except to show you that this assignment is harder and larger than you anticipated.

You hit upon a key to "Redneck Cuisine"...I like to think of such as
''heritage foods'' born of poverty, but made very much a staple or even "haute cuisine''- such as:

fried catfish
anything made with pork belly
chili
grits
chitterlings (chitlins in the South)
ham hocks
black eyed peas

and yes....even BBQ.... ;)
BBQ is neither verb or noun. It is an experience.

Uh, not to sound like one, but when I was growing up rednecks didn't eat chitlins.

Mike, I just looked for my cook book with road kill recipes.  I didn't see it so I must have loaned it to someone who was having a formal dinner.  If you want I can go to a bookstore here in Augusta and find another copy and mail it to you.  I know they don't have them in your neck of the woods.  How much time have you got before you do the cooking?  We are starting to get alot of possums on the half shell here.  We do a pretty good job cooking them but I imagine the boys in Texas maybe better than we are since they have had them longer than we have. Nepas lives in Savannah where there are alot of crabs and turtles crossing the road to Tybee Island during certain times of the year, but they get mashed flat when you run over them so they ain't enough left to even fry.  So he won't be of any help.  What do  y'all run over up there?  Maybe something you can send us down here to broaden our roadkill cooking skills.  The Turtle is right about the chitlins.  Salley, SC has the "Chitlin Strutt" every year but they don't get them from road kill.  When you hit a hog with a vehicle they vehicle looks more like road kill sometimes than the hog.  I can get you a gallon bucket of chitlins  from the grocery store if you want me to send you some.  They are already cleaned so that will save you some time in the preparation. Sorry, I can't be of more help.  Let me know if you want me to send you a book on how to prepare roadkill.  Dee
