You should've asked for your money back! 

I've met folks from all over the world and learned different types of cooking here and there...just home cookin'...nothin' fancy.

They're are so many different varieties of southern cooking as in every other part of the country.  I'm from NY and didn't know squat about jowl meat in the beans and the greens....salted everything...fat on top of fat...or deer for that matter.  I was voted least likely to ever whack, hack, pack and stack a deer for the freezer...and name the parts (including making deer sausage and bambi burgers with an old-timey hand grinder) and deer jerky.        

Lamb would be a delicacy on anyone's table these days and isn't usually used in southern cooking. 

Don't get me started on seafood...lived near the ocean and bay and I didn't realize how expensive that stuff was until I moved inland 'cause I just went out and fished or harvested it.       

Now, give me a bambi burger and I know what to do with that!  Cat  

The best gyro I had was from a lunch truck in front of the Univ of PA in Phila.  No, I do not want to know about the unsanitary conditions anyone may have heard of.   

I wouldn't even know how to cook it.  All I see in the stores here are these teeny little lamb chops that contain maybe an ounce of meat and they are WICKED expensive.  Never having cooked it (or eaten it) before, it's too expensive for me to screw up or not like.  We have a deer farmer down the road who let me try some deer tenderloin and it was gross.  Too dry for me and had NO flavor.  I actually like my meat with some fat on it.  I drive the butcher nuts requesting pork roasts with actual FAT on them.  It's the only way to make good gravy doncha know! 

I actually learned what "chitlin's" were (I don't know how to spell it) on one of those Food Network shows....I think it was when Alton Brown went on the road on his motorcycle to some southern places.  Yeah, can't say I'd be willing to pop that down my gullet at all.  Despite having Ellie for a pet, I do love pork though. 

My dad, um, "did time" in a prison down south for what has always remained a mystery, and he was a cook there.  As a fearless kid, he was the one who would feed me weird things like pigs feet, pickled watermelon rind, jambalaya, fried chicken gizzards and hearts, the calves liver with bacon and onions, all sorts of seafood, cheap caviar, and even escargot, which of course grossed my mother and older siblings out.  He was a fantastic cook.  A bonafide mental case, which is where I get my streak of craziness from, but a darned fine cook. 

it was frozen, from New Zealand....I just cradled it in my arms like a baby for a minute....$54.98...so I put it back in the freezer for the rich folk.

You'd really like lamb...it's got a very sweet taste.

Now, about the deer tenderloins....whoever served them to you didn't know how to season them correctly, bkz that is the best part.. Cat

in line for a bathroo stall.  Finally a lady came out of onel and I went inside.  There was urine ALL OVER the seat.  I was just livid.  Okay lady, if you are too scared to sit down to pee because of the germs, then for crying out loud, WIPE UP YOUR PEE so it's not there for some total stranger to have to deal with.  Or hold it until you get home. 

Gross, gross, gross.
