Chicken and pork simmered down with salt pork, onion, tomato, corn and butter beans until a spoon will nearly stand in it, the way the stew sheds at a Georgia barbecue have always made it.
A deep dish of sliced freestone peaches under one sheet of butter pastry, baked until the juice boils up through the vents and sets.
Long-grain rice cooked in tomato fried down in bacon fat until it darkens, then steamed until every grain is separate and stained through.
