So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Dishes Which Are Traditional For A Soul Food Delivery

By Cynthia Anderson


Soul foods are cuisines that are of different variations. These came from dishes that are made traditionally in particular places like in Southern part United States. The foods are used with different variations of ingredients and most of these ingredients are brought by people from different countries. One staple which is important for the diet of Southern people is the maize or corn. A corn may either be grounded to a meal or limed with a mixture of alkaline salt for creating nixtamalization.

The corn was being used to all types of dishes, it may be for corn breads and grits, and also liquors like whiskey and moonshine. There are also a lot of available fruits in the region which include blackberries, raspberries, muscadines, etc. Most of their dishes are also available for soul food delivery Princeton.

The diets of people are supplemented usually with meats which are being derived from their native hunting game. One staple that is important to them is venison due to an abundant number of deer with white tails from their areas. Some other kinds of animals which are hunted include squirrels, opossums, and rabbits. Some live stocks like cattle and hogs were being kept.

After the people will kill the animals, all the parts will be used and eaten. The meat and even the organs such as the intestines, brains, and livers are all eaten. Until today, the tradition is still utilized in hallmark dishes like chitterlings. The chitterlings are those small intestines of a hog that are fried, pork eggs and brains, and liver mush. The fat of animals, specifically of hogs were rendered and were used in cooking and in frying.

The traditional soul food often contains very high amounts of starch, fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium. Some implications on these foods include high rates on having hypertension, type two diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Health concerns may differ on traditional styles.

And because these are fueled by the federal subsidies, their agricultural systems became industrialized. This happened not only because of the degraded implications of traditional soul food perception but also because of the food value of nutrition in most of the processed foods. Thus, this is considered to be one reason for the changes in structures, making the food more accessible and available than others.

One aspect which is important in the preparation of soul food is to reuse cooking lard. The reason for this is some cooks are not capable of buying the new shortening because of financial issues. So they prefer to pour the used cooking grease which is liquefied inside containers. After cooling, greases are re solidified and reused again in cooking when lard is needed.

Since the fashion and perception for a healthy eating is continuously changing, some cooks have been using preparation methods which are different from those that are done by previous cooks. This includes using liquid oils, and smoked turkey rather than pork. The techniques for hog farming has resulted also to a leaner pork.

The soul foods ingredients are consist of some health benefits. Greens such as the collard is consist of vitamins B9, A, folic acid, B6, and C. Types of minerals are also present such as calcium, manganese, and iron.
