I discovered this delightful YouTube channel recently. Videos and recipes of Appalachian Food. I am a California kid, born and bred but my parents were from Texas and my Maternal Grandmother from Mississippi so my mother cooked many of these dishes. Brought back so many memories. Tomorrow I am cooking Pinto Bean Soup and Corn Bread.

Pinto beans (not soup) and cornbread is a weekly meal at our home now. Grew up with them and still eat them. Often serve them with greens like turnip greens or mustard greens.
I also make fried pies out of apples we dehydrate.

The YouTube woman called it Bean Soup but the way I make it is thicker than soup. I serve it with cornbread, fried potatoes and maybe sliced tomatoes and baby cucumbers. Yum, Yum.

When I was growing up, we ate pinto beans and cornbread, fried potatoes and usually had sliced onions to go with it (similar to what mattie cat said above).
As an adult, I fixed the same thing for my family.
As a senior citizen, I still eat pinto beans and cornbread but leave off the fried potatoes.

Pinto beans with salt pork is a meal that can't be beat. I've tried fixing them with ham, but it changes the taste.

I grew up eating ham hocks and beans with cornbread and I still cook it and eat it. Yummy

Thanks for posting the site. I'll be checking more videos
