When HG was 15, the young man visited his elder brother, the late Bernard Freeman, in Atlanta, Georgia. HG was shocked by the “Whites Only” racist signs and a first glimpse at a chain gang. Made a vow to do all in HG’s power to do away with this injustice. However, the southern food was tasty. Favorite lunch was Brunswick Stew and fried green tomatoes (sprinkled with a fiery vinegar condiment). HG also developed a fondness for slices of icy watermelon sold from carts. BSK did some nice things with green tomatoes last night. Battered thick slices and fried them to accompany braised cod and yellow beans. Prefaced this with a tangy bowl of green tomato soup. Happy meal in decidedly diverse and non-racist Prince Edward Island. Suggest readers google recipes for Brunswick Stew. It’s a four season treat.
