Being a Tennessee girl living abroad, I saw this and thought I'd give it a try even though it's not anything I'd even tasted before -- heard of it all my life, so why not? It was fine. The instructions were great and the flavor was good, but I wasn't a big fan of the chewy texture so I probably won't make it again. Thanks, though, for sharing a cool antebellum recipe!
