[Husker] Hoppin John

[Dave Ratchford]

That's it....it's the collards that make it so bad.  Stink to high heaven
when cooking.  And then she pours vinegar all over them.  My mother was
from western Maryland and for some reason there is a tradition there that
you cook sauerkraut with turkey.  So the smell of sauerkraut always takes
me back to childhood Thanksgiving.  But the collards are worse!
