Fish And Milk

Before having a catfish dinner, I asked my mother if I could
have some milk to go with it. But my father interrupted and said
that if you've never had milk with fish before then it will kill
you.

sometimes include fish as a main course.

Good Luck

On New Year's Day, a big pot of black-eyed peas should be prepared and cooked into the pot should be a brand new dime from the bank. The peas are served and whoever gets the dime in their serving will have wealth for the rest of the year. The peas keep getting served until the dime is found.
