Mom used ham hocks and I do only if I have it handy, if not I use bacon like you do. The one thing we do that you don't is to sprinkly fresh finely chopped onions on top when served. I rarely like corn bread because it always seems to be dryer than I like but...a friend came over one night with a fresh pan of corn bread from a local market that had me swooning!

Your mama made beans pretty much the same way my gran and mom made them, the way I make them as well:-) At the end of March I have to make a big pot of 'em to bring to my brother's Sugar Bush weekend party. Every year they tell me I HAVE to make them! lol I've only tasted cornbread once, at a restaurant in the States when Steve & I had crossed the border and I didn't like it at all. I remember it being very thick so maybe I'm like you and would prefer it thin and crispy!! Cornbread is just not something anyone ever cooks around here. <br /><br />Is it safe to take off my gas mask now?? hehe Love ya! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-21561741513610413222012-02-16T12:16:46.051-06:002012-02-16T12:16:46.051-06:00There you go making me hungry again.
