1966 WDEC - Tennessee

I feel like I can see the light at the end of the "American Cookery" Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery tunnel, now that I'm starting in on the "T" states. First is Tennessee (photo by Brian Stansberry via Wikimedia Commons), where "only the 'journey proud' ever leave." I'll be one of those just passing through; there isn't much recipe-wise that is calling to me.

Tennessee Baked Ham: Ham coated in a cornmeal-sugar paste and baked. Serves 24. I'll pass.
Hog and Hominy: Pork neck bones simmered with canned hominy and tomatoes. Vaguely interesting and if I can get hog bones I'll try it.
Bean Pot Roast: A standard pot roast made in the oven using a bean pot. The gimmick doesn't seem to be enough to recommend the rather pedestrian recipe.
Turnip Greens with Hog Jowl: I will try this, because I have some young greens, and you can't go wrong when adding good pork.
Butter Beans with Pecans: What it says, which might be interesting, but with American cheese and breadcrumbs put on top I'm a bit suspicious. Jury is out on trying it.
Fried Cream: Custard cut into strips and then deep fried. Sounds really interesting but complex. Will try it, but may have to wait until I have the time to invest in being careful.
Strawberry Chess Tarts: Again, what it says. I'm not a huge strawberry fan, so I'll likely pass.
Strawberry Circle Cake: White cake topped with glazed strawberries. See note above.

So. Off to the kitchen.
