wonderworker: Staple foods are fascinating but I'm thinking of ethnic or regional oddities that dont show up on menus and which may be unknown outside the purlieu of our personal experience.
I've lived and travelled all over but here's a few from childhood in Appalachia.
Creassie Greens(Upland Cress)
Backbones and potatoes(hog vertabrae,boiled)
Parsnips(a perennial root,like a nutty turnip)
Buttermilk Pie(really)
Ever tried any of these?
Or share your own....I'm getting hungry.

In England it's traditional to have parsnips with Christmas dinner along with brussel sprouts.
In my view it's just not a Christmas dinner unless I have parsnips with it.
Cannot get them here in Italy so I always get some brought out from the UK just before Xmas !

I wonder if Parsnips came to Appalachia from England?
We ate them roasted or lighly boiled with pork seasoning.
I suppose they could be stuffed and baked ,like a turnip with bacon and cream cheese...damn I want a Parsnip right now...
Or a Butternut pie or....or...
Oh well...peanut butter it is.

When I lived on the farm up in Culpeper VA we slaughtered a pig and had the butcher dress it all up for us. Got loads of sausage, bacon fresh hams, shoulder roasts etc. There was one item I didn't recognize it was labled "Chine" I asked a good farmer friend of mine, Mel, a black guy who lived there for generations going back to antebellum times (pre civil war for those who aren't familiar with the word). He said "Oh you don't have to bother with that, I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it, you Yankees wouldn't know what to do with it anyway." This street smart kid who grew up in New York City knows a con job when he hears one said, "Oh that's alright I'll figure out what all to do with it."I've lived and travelled all over but here's a few from childhood in Appalachia.

Well, "Chine" is the backbone with the loin section of the pig and when it's roasted like a pot roast it is so delicious "your tongue will slap your brains out."

Lobsters, Clam, corn on the cob. Served with melted butter. It's the only regionally peculiar meal I can think of. Worth eating though!
