This recipe comes from Della's in-laws from the back woods of Beckley, West Virginia! Ok so I don't really know if it's backwoods but the original recipe or way of making it is very old, going back generations..
Give it a try if you've never had..its very delicious..

Really not a recipe as per measurement... more of a taste and texture thing..

We start with a big pork roast..with some fat on...Just cook pork in water with sage, Lawreys, some accent and garlic powder til falling apart. Grind it up fat and all and put back in pan with water. Add white cornmeal, til the right texture, heating on low while stirring... often til thickens. Taste a bit for seasoning to your taste.. may add more sage or other seasoning till right taste..Spread in pan,refrigerate slice and fry!! Yum! ( you want it to set for at least 24 hours to get a good slice.😊
The original recipe only called for sage, salt and pepper.. this revision is Della’s and it’s delicious.. mine would have onion and pepper in it.. two things Della does not like..
Sorry I cannot be more specific on texture and amounts..it is a trial and error kinda recipe.
I've made it where i didn't get the texture correct and it wouldn't hold together well.. still fried it and ate it ..was still good..so i keep trying, this next time will be perfect!!
