Lea 2008This is Larry’s Favorite Side). My cousin, Ruby Kindle Jacobs, taught me to make this dish when I was just a child.  We have shared this dish a lot over the years, especially when she and her family would come visit us when we lived in the 900 block of Ely Street, in Hannibal, Missouri.  I have cooked this from the first week I was married in 1964, Larry thinks it is wonderful with any meal, but especially if you have creamed corn too!  Of course, I originally fried this with bacon grease, which also added to the flavor!
