"GONE WITH THE WIND"told of a style of living, as well as a romantic drama. A way of living and playing and eating that thrilled us all.
Undoubtedly many of you carried away mental pictures of the pretty ladies blushing daintly behind their fans; of the men riding, hunting, and fishing, or with noses buried deep in mint leaves. Perhaps, too, you may have seen, in your mind's eye, that polished mahogany dining table at Tara, reflecting a juicy baked ham at one end, a vertitable mountain of fried chicken at the other, and crowding in between corn muffins, hot biscuits, and waffles oozing with butter; heaping dishes of fried squash, stewed okra, and collards swimming in rich liquor; pecan pie, rich, steaming plum pudding, pound cake topped with sweetened whipped cream, and fluffy, white Syllabub fragrant of the wine cellar. Though many of these pictures in reality died before your very eyes, still the memory of them carries on. Yes, it is all a picture of southern hospitality and southern food of that era. And a picture we do not like to lose.
Now for your eating enjoyment relive the southern days of Tara, and Gone With the Wind, and HAPPY EATING!
