Rattle Those Pots and Pans

How To Cook Southern Style:

1. Select your favourite ingredient. This can be anything from a slice of steak to a wedge of water melon. On second thoughts, forget the watermelon, it's too healthy.

2. Dunk your ingredient into a thick batter.

3. Deep fry.

4. Serve with your choice of the following sides. For a truly Southern meal, choose all of them: mashed potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, green tomatoes, a pound of toffee, corn bread, pancakes, cheese biscuit, a stick of butter, a pint of whipped cream, a bar of chocolate, remembering to deep fry them all first.

5. Serve with a garnish of battered batter on a deep fried china plate. Delicious!
