CULTURE, HERITAGE AND
The Southern green bean is one of the most misunderstood and maligned
dishes. It shows up faithfully at diners and Southern food establishments,
at weddings and funerals, and almost always makes an appearance at the
Thanksgiving table. Sometimes it is straight out of the can, or, it’s all too
often served overcooked.
But then there are fresh, green Southern beauties
that have been cooked low and slow in a broth flavored
with good-quality, thick-cut bacon. It is comfort
food at its best and the perfect warming
dish for fall, when the temperature
starts dropping.
