When I finished at Auburn in '67, I went to St. Louis to work and in '68 married a midwest girl. She was from a large Catholic family and they took great pleasure in initiating a southern boy to things I had never eaten. I'll mention a couple of examples.
Since "meatless Fridays" were still observed back then, I was treated to "creamed tuna on toast" on many of those days. It reminded me of the old military staple of "creamed chipped beef on toast" (SOS in military terms). It wasn't fried and it wasn't good.
The other delicacy on the menu at times was "wilted lettuce." This was leaf lettuce fried in bacon grease. Other than 'chittlins', that was the first fried food I never liked.
After 46 years, they're not too bad.
