One of my favorite southern things is cheese grits. If you want a recipe, e-mail me at morrishome1@bellsouth.net and I'll send you a great one. BTW I was a Home Ec major at Auburn, but ended up switching majors when I decided that I'd never find a husband in a building full of girls! All the MOST useful things I use in my life, I learned in Home Ec, along with my husband who I did find there!

I actually found one on the web that has a pinch of cayenne pepper and a pinch of ground white pepper in the filling. I already have that recipe typed up and ready to go for my students tomorrow, so we will give that one a try and I'll let you know how it goes. I teach in California, so I'm not sure my students will rate it like a Southerner, but they will definitely let me know if they like it. :) <BR/><BR/>I did go to the Peach Park in Clanton, Alabama, website. It was interesting. They sale approximately 70,000 fried pies between April and October. Wow! <BR/><BR/>Do you have any suggestions about a recipe that would be a better representation of Alabama? We are studying Regional Foods. <BR/><BR/>I've never been to the South, so I don't have any first hand experience. I would love to try the boiled peanuts, but I'm not sure I could buy raw peanuts in CA. I've heard that there are boiled peanut stands everywhere. <BR/><BR/>Well, thanks again for your input. I'll check back to your blog tomorrow.

I can remember my Alabama grandmother making these in the 1950's. I wasn't a fan then, but definitely am one now. Health food it's not, but yummy it is. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1713,144171-246204,00.htmlJanie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053546704853403645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508545331300613340.post-27791621277239010342009-02-28T23:41:00.000-06:002009-02-28T23:41:00.000-06:00Now old Janie knows a bit about peach pies fried o...Now old Janie knows a bit about peach pies fried or not, but I hesitate to speculate on theoriging of the divine treat. The best ones are made with crisp, flaky dough that uses some sort of lard to make it perfect . Doesn't hurt that Alabama has the best peaches in the world to wrap in that perfect pastry. I had a decent one made by some amish ladies in Heber Springs. I just think it's a southern thing. Good luck. Wow...I'd kill for one now.

I had heard it was Alabama. It took me to your June 27, 2008 blog, which confirmed that Alabama does have Fried peach pies, at least at Peach Park in Clanton, Alabama. I am still wondering if indeed Alabama is where the Fried Pie originated. Do you have any idea? <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your other blogs. You write very well and I found that we are like minded. <BR/><BR/>Thanks and Blessings to you for sharing your thoughts.
