Depending on the part of Appalachia you're in, you'll recognize this meal.
Pinto beans (with chow chow), mixed greens, creamed corn, cornbread, and macaroni and tomatoes. We had a bonus smoked turkey because my dad has been into smoking meat lately. He also smoked a chub of bologna today. My dad grew up ultra poor and on food like this. I was lucky to have my granny who cooked things like this for me until I was 15. I was going to make soup potatoes but ran out of time.
