Actually, some years back they changed it to "Miss Pork Cuisine," which I think hardly ups the respectability factor. <BR/>And we used to be able to walk from our old house to the festival and not have to worry about parking. Of course, we had to worry about being able to get TO our house around the closed roads -- including the highway that goes through town that they would close for the concert on Saturday night...Jennyhttp://newpics.org/jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1157590728821447502006-09-06T19:58:00.000-05:002006-09-06T19:58:00.000-05:00Hey, I'll call blackberry cobbler a veggie any day!<BR/><BR/>Sounds very yummy!annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290107042352596328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1157587917557903282006-09-06T19:11:00.000-05:002006-09-06T19:11:00.000-05:00Anna, <BR/><BR/>Yes, a meat and three serves meat and three vegetables. In the south, however, "vegetables" also includes macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, and sometimes dressing, among other starches. <BR/><BR/>At the particular meat and three where we ate, blackberry cobbler was listed as one of the three. I don't know how blackberry cobbler got to be a vegetable, but I'm all for it!Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25887589.post-1157572161719787412006-09-06T14:49:00.000-05:002006-09-06T14:49:00.000-05:00Bummer!
