My grandfather called it a “Po Boy Lunch.”
That meant we were having leftovers in whatever creative way my grandmother came up with.
Recently, I took two biscuits from breakfast and loaded them with smoked brisket, and from the garden, purple onions and jalapeños.
A little Heinz 57 topped them. Also from the garden, Roma tomatoes with sea salt.
It got me to thinking about why Southern folks like simple foods.
It’s because it’s good.
