Pork Neck Bones- This Weeks Special

[Mickey527]

You can also pick up that hot pepper vinegar from Steak and Shake the next time you are visiting WDW.
I bought some for my son last summer and he has added vinegar to the original peppers a few times when he used up all the vinegar.
I don't ask what he puts it on and don't want to know. I think he pretty much covers anything with either hot vinegar or tobasco sauce. Peggie

Grits with honey? (EW!)

hot pepper vinegar doesnt even need to be canned or jarred. I buy a big bottle of vinear and pick the hot peppers.. cram a few in the top and close the stopper. I dont like mine so hot it melts your nosehairs when you open it.. just a little zap to greens.

My girlfriend is from the Boston area and she had never eaten biscuits and gravy until she travelled to Chicago. I've now taught her how easy it is to make B&G and she loves it for breakfast!

Nope, cannot find it here. We eat biscuits with butter on them, with strawberries on them, my Nova Scotia rels. eat ithem with butter and molasses (one of my favorites, btw). Any way you can think of but, not with sausage gravy. I make it here and everyone really likes it.

I think you need to share the beignets with me, btw. I love those!!!

Oh, thank you!!!! Ok, what kind of peppers and where do I get them. Remember I am from the Northeast. When you say hot peppers I am thinking of pepperocinis (sp?).

I know, it is a pity too. We do use hamburg in the basic white sause and serve it over toast or mashed potatoes. AKA: SOS.

Hi.....Im new to the boards, but this thread has mine name on it. The only thing is for a belle on the Atkins diet....its murder! Grits issue....only way to eat grits is with butter, salt & pepper or add some cheddar cheese and eat with fried catfish. Never sweeten grits! Fried green tomatoes is heaven to my family....when done right......melts in your mouth btw..doesnt stink up the house either. Biscuits & gravy....got to have red eye gravy or make a red tomato gravy.......who needs sausage? Pepper sauce.......we always use baby banana peppers mixed with tobasco peppers.....just tobasco if you want heat with the vinegar taste. We use it on beans, greens, and thing we want the taste. It really changes the flavor of the food.....yummy!

P. S. I live in Alabama.....Gulf Coast

Gail, That Crystal's brand that was linked to is OK, but not exactly the kind I think is so good. I think it has salt in it, while what I'm used to does not.

As ohanaMAMA, suggested you really don't have to go through the whole canning process. The kind we eat are are just little-finger length and width, green, hot peppers that are grown everywhere in SC gardens. I honestly don't even know their correct name. You just say "I want some hot peppers," and everyone knows what you mean.

Here's my suggestion: Buy a small bottle of white vinegar. I know Wal-Mart sells a plastic bottle in about a pint size. Pour the vinegar into a pot, and heat it to a high simmer. Meanwhile, stuff your choice of hot peppers into the empty vinegar bottle. I don't see why you couldn't use pepperocinis or even jalepeno. If they're too fat to fit through the neck of the bottle, then just cut them up. Then pour the hot vinegar back into the bottle with the peppers. Store this in the fridge. After a couple of weeks, the vinegar should be "hot" enough.
And, yes, I have also just added straight vinegar to peppers that had had all the vinegar drained off. It's still good.

I hope that helps!!

lol Dan its funny that you dont know what they are called... neither do I ... every spring my dad goes into the feed and seed and say. " i want some tomatos, cucumbers, yella squash, zuchini, watermelon, canteloupe and some hot peppers."

those little white/green peppers is what grows

yumm

 

[dandave]

ohanaMAMA, Yep. I never felt so ignorant as I did when I moved away from SC at age 21. Everything that I took for granted was shot to heck, i.e hot peppers, fatback, sidemeat, butter beans, liver pudding, etc., etc. Even in Georgia, a sister state, for goodness sake, the food was somewhat "foreign" to me.

This thread has me sitting here with a big grin on my face! Those of us from the south are a little proud of it, aren't we?!

Thanks a million, that is really helpful!! We don't have a super walmart here (now I know that will shock you, lol) so, I will amble off to the grocery store and get white vinegar. Heck, I might get
wild and try it with Balsamic.

You folks from the south make me smile. Life seems so nice there.
Here, we have rude, rude, rude.

You're very welcome, Gail! Enjoy your greens with hot pepper vinegar.

Here are some excellent cost savers that are tasty and nutritious that we have used in our home for years:

Potato Soup with Oatmeal Muffins
Beef Vegetable Soup with Corn Muffins
Green Split Peas w/ Ham Soup served with fat free saltines and cheese slices.
Brown Beans or Navy Beans w/ ham bone served with Corn Muffins (cover each serving of beans with Tabasco sauce for extra zing!)
Neck bones w/ sauer kraut served with field peas, greens, and corn muffins. (a real treat is ribs instead of neck bones)

We're salivating on our keyboard - must get napkin!

My Dad always buys a couple of bottles of hot pepper vinegar when he comes to visit us in Atlanta.

 

[kaseyC]

My dad who grew up in Martinsville, VA and went to college in Alabama puts hot pepper vinegar on everything. Like many others he makes his own. Every year he grows his own hot peppers in these big pots on the back porch. If you ask him what kind of peppers he is growing, he will tell you "Hot". No other name or description needed. He makes a enough hot pepper vinegar to last until the next summer.
My mom who grew up in TN makes something called Chow Chow, I cannot remember exactly what it is made of, I think hot peppers and tomatoes. Anyway, it is spicey relish type of condiment that she puts on everything.
It is delish, I love it on my mom's deep fried catfish. Yum! Yum!

Good Old Southern Cooking

Pork neck Bone Recipe

canned corn dried
canned peas dried
dice tomatoes
canned green beans
salt
pepper

About any other food you like in the soup.

Get a big pot throw pork neck bones, corn, peas, and green beans and add water to pot. Add the diced tomatoes an 1 hour about.

I let my pork neck soup cook 3 hours to all the food to gel right. i am pretty sure 2 hours plenty time for the soup to cook.
