Central South

The Central South runs from Gulf Coastal Mississippi and Alabama northward through Tennessee into Kentucky and West Virginia, where it is hemmed in by the Ohio River. The ancient corn-based Mississippian culture once prospered along the Mississippi River Valley. The first Europeans to explore the Central South were Spanish and French. They settled the coastal portion. The interior, Kentucky and West Virginia, were secluded by rugged mountain terrain. The cuisine that emerged in the Central South reflects the history of this sub-region, ranging from the French and Creole-inspired and the down-home Southern “soul food” classics of Alabama and Mississippi, to the “hog and hominy” tradition of Tennessee, to the wild game stews of Kentucky and West Virginia.

Hot as Hell Hickory Beans

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2009 by kbsteen

Excellent beans. They certainly do have pizzazz. Next time, though, I intend to cook them a few hours to get tender before I add the tomatoes, as we Southerners like our beans "mushy." Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
