once you pop open and bake will work just fine just don't let a southerner catch you taking those shortcuts ok so boiled peanuts sound kind of bland compared to roasted peanuts but don't judge a book

you can easily spit out their soggy shells because it's nearly impossible to crack them open with your hands of course some people opt to eat these peanuts whole shells and all but that's one heck of an acquired taste ok for centuries people have been making use of their stale bread by creating their own kinds of bread pudding often made with bread cream eggs sugar spices and raisins modern bread

prepare dip it in milk dredge it in seasoned cornmeal and fry it in hot oil it only takes a few minutes to get a golden brown on the outside and beautifully flaky on the inside add a squirt of lemon and a side of rice then start chowing down pure of less for a truly comforting meal there's nothing like a bowl of chicken and dumplings if you aren't in the south where you can find them at most sit-down restaurants you can try making these at home by dropping biscuit dough into cooking soup and though they aren't difficult to make dumplings are a kind of art form and they can take some time to perfect you don't want your dumplings undercooked and wet inside but you also don't want them so overcooked that they start falling apart in the broth stick them with a toothpick and if it comes out clean you're good to go chicken-fried steak sometimes called country fried steak is made from a tenderized cube steak which is battered like fried chicken pan-fried and topped with white gravy while you can find chicken-fried steak in an array of southern states its most closely associated with Texas and as with most things it's always bigger in Texas too in fact Lulu in San Antonio you can find a 21 ounces of this dish and it's not a coincidence that Lulu's is also home to the famous three pound cinnamon roll – that's just how they roll down there as it were for your next Superbowl

about what a gizzard is but that'll be easy enough to do once you realize how good it tastes you can cook gizzards in a number of ways but it's best to boil them first and then coat them before

call them in your neck of the woods these freshwater crustaceans are some of the tastiest seafood out there of course you can eat crawfish meat dipped and drop butter just like you would with lobster
