Possible subs -
Mashed Cheesy Potatos, in place of Steak Fries ?
Pan Fried Cornbread, in place of Hushpuppies ?
Kale Greens,or Fried Green Tomatos, in place of Cole Slaw ?
Hey ... they've all worked for me :p
... cp :cool:
The only kind of cole slaw I like is freshly made. My son will sit and eat a whole head of cabbage of it. I've got a smoker for barbecuing pork and freshly made cole slaw on a nice big barbecue sandwich is the best.
mmmm Fried green tomatos. That reminds me it's time for me to start getting the garden ready. Now if I could just ever get a day off work to start on it. Shouldn't even have to use the tiller since it's rained for about two weeks straight now :)
If I am lucky some morell Mushrooms:D:D
I have got to find me some Morells..I have been reading about them on the forum...and I gotta find some. Are they mostly found during a wet spring time?
Coleslaw is pretty standard for us, but here are a few other things we serve up:
potato salad
macaroni salad (the mayo or miracle whip kind)
pasta salad (the italian dressing kind)
3-bean salad
corn bread
grilled ears of corn
onion rings
salt potatoes
Wrap a couple of pickled green beans inside of a fried fillet and munch away. It's heaven on earth.
garlic cheese grits, baked beans with brown sugar and bacon, homemade slaw, hushpuppies and pickled green tomatoes.:)
since the oil is hot: fried okra, fried zuccini fries cut shoestring(our favorite), fried yellow squash chips along with a cold side like slaw or potato salad.
pork-n-beans, baked potato, slice of onion, hush puppy, or potato salad. sometimes a green salad. cole slaw.
I like that zucchini idea... we usually end up with more than we can give away and I'm always looking for new ways to cook it. I'll b giving the shoe-string zucchini fries a try this summer for sure.Quote:

baked beans w/ brown sugar, hand cut super thin and crispy fried french fries(not the store bought kind), fried dill pickles. mmmmm mmmmm good. also roll your crappie fillets in mustard and batter in yellow corn meal . fry up nice and crispy in a skillet. man just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Being from a German background on one side:) we tend to stay away from the mayo and make our slaw with vinegar/oil/sugar. Turnips makes a good slaw. Then there is the favorite of sliced cucmbers and onions in the same brine as the above slaw. If you cut cucumbers lenghtwise and batter 'em they fry up real nice. If you have never fried up sweet potato chips they are great! We mix up bisquick and water and egg and a little oil and make a hoecake in a cast iron skillet. Add real butter and fig preserves. Honey heat up the grease will ya!Quote:

Depending on how much you want. For the two of us we usually shred a half a head of cabbage at a time. Then equal parts of oil, white vinegar or apple vinegar and sugar. make enough brine to moisten the cabbage. If you make too much you can always add more cabbbage. It is always better the next day when it has had some time to absorb the vinegar and sugar. Enjoy!Quote:

Our Coleslaw is made different. We shred cabbage , onion, and carrots. Add sugar, vinegar, and celery seeds to salad dressing or mayo. That is gooood stuff.:cool:
We love baked beans and fries too. Lots of Crappie fillets rolled in Yellow Corm Meal fried up golden brown.:D That White Corn Meal just does'nt give the appealing color to the fish to me.;)
Try,
fried green tomatoes
sweet potato fries,
fried okra
fried zuch or yellow squash
fresh onion, and tomatoes
Kristines potato salad
Always:
Fried fish
french fries
homeade coleslaw
Sometimes:
homeade onion rings
fried sweet potatoes
white beans and rice w/Louisiana hot sauce(that's the cajun rubbing off on me):D
The bottom line is I like it (fried fish dinner) anyway I can get it!:eek:
here in Missouri they start popping around the middle of April ( give or take) Give hunting them a try, gets you out in the woods and they are delicous.Quote:

Bud lite, Fried corn, Bud lite, collard greens, Bud lite, back-eyed peas, Bud lite, sweet corn bread, and a really cold Bud lite for desert. Startin to see a pattern?? For a real good change, soak your filletsover night in your favorite hot sause. Fry 'em up and go to town. You might want to try a really cold Bud lite with that. HeeHee.
Fried crappie.
Fry 1 lb of Wright's Hickory smoked bacon until crispy. In the grease, add butter crisco, potatoes, onions, garlic salt & pepper. When potatoes are done, crumble the bacon in.
Mix egg, milk, and garlic salt & pepper. Moisten morels in wet mix then in dry mix (flour and garlic salt & pepper), repeat. Fry in peanut oil or butter crisco.
Add beer to cook and enjoy.
Fried crappie, white beans, hush puppies(try mixing in a can of cream corn), fried tatters, coleslaw with diced fresh tomatos, sweet onion on the side, and cold beer!
got to be pinto beans, slaw, fried potatoes, and sliced onion.
You guys are making me hungry!

Fried biscuits. Take a flaky biscuit and separate into about 3 layers. Fry until golden, remove, drain, season with your favorite salty or spicy seasonong. For dessert, you can sprinkle some with powdered sugar.
