Of course when I was growing up, everybody had a garden and in summer many of our meals were all vegetables fresh from the garden, such as squash, green beans, corn on the cob, cucumbers marinated in vinegar and sliced tomatoes. Once in a while we would have fresh blackeyed peas, which are very different from the dried ones.
And Sweet Tea, of course.
