And I thought Turkey Legs were a Cultural Phenom...!!!!

My Great Uncle Lonnie was such a card. He was born and raised growin tobacco, corn, cotton, and collards. He must have really loved collards cause I heard that he used to say to his wife, "Ruby, go to the kitchen and fix me a collard sammich"
Well, recently my Mama (his niece) went to a farmers fair in SC and told me they were sellin collard sandwhiches....wow...I havent heard of that in a coon's age....
She said it is two pieces of cornbread, collards, and piece of fatback....man it sounds so good. I can see why Uncle Lonnie sat in front of the bull dozer when it threatened his beloved collard patch to make the 2 lane a 4 lane.....Love you Uncle Lonnie, Mama, and thank you Lord for Collard Sammiches.....
