Would you eat these foods featured in the popular sitcom?

Granny (Irene Ryan) was always cooking something up onThe Beverly Hillbillies. All that oil money never went to grocery budget. These were recipes straight from the cabin. At the peak of the show's popularity, thousands of country folk from around the country mailed in recipes and meal suggestions for Granny to fix. Ryan and writer Cathey Pinckney even gathered some of these together in 1966 for a published cookbook, Granny's Hillbilly Cookbook.

Me has iron stomach.
Me would eat everything they put in here.
Also me thinks some of these are faked by MeTV.
Hate to tell you this but most of it is real stuff that poor folks ate in the Ozarks in the Depression era. Source: my parents b 1919 & 1921 in Kansas. :(

All of this food is eaten but not in the form of possum meat. People eat just about everything on a pig, Pickled pigs feet and chitlins are sold in the grocery store. Tripe is a cows stomach but i don't think to many people eat goats stomachs. Goat tastes like lamb, I've eaten it and it's delicious if someone knows how to cook it. Snapping turtles are a common southern delicacy it makes a really good soup. Here in
west virginia I have seen people eat things like possums but not often, there's usually things like deer to hunt and put on the table. Most people have a spring hog to butcher every year. Just things that most people wouldn't know anything about but i'll tell yah there's something to that food cause people who eat like this bodies are like pieces of iron with hearts of pure gold.
