***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

[marlinspike]

I don’t know how they fix it everywhere else, but here in Louisiana it’s always dredged in seasoned cornmeal and deep fried. Served with hush puppies, coleslaw, fries or corn fritters, and green tomato relish. Once you get south of Lafayette corn flour becomes more popular than corn meal, though.

My dad has fried his catfish for years in a mixture of buttermilk, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and Tony Chachere's. I usually prefer fish grilled, but his catfish cooked up like this is pretty good!

Hey bud, good to see you over here. You still smoking that twist? I never did end up purchasing some of my own, I probably never will but I always enjoyed your pics of it. I’m just done with buying pipe tobacco (for the most part). If memory serves me right, you’re the one that turned me on to Amphora VA. I stocked up deep on that one!

Tabac-Manil Semois in a Savinelli Hercules Oom-Paul. The tobacco is the Belgium burley variant, the medium cut version. The pipes is an excellent Oom-Paul version, one of a number of holiday gift pipes from my wife.

Hi hawky yes still smoking the twist when I want something strong. However some of these Argento OTC blends are also nice especially when you're on the move. Take care pal.

They did it exactly as you described (cornmeal not flour), all the same sides, but no green tomato relish. Now I want it with green tomato relish.
