Mama and Pa (my step daddy) made the most potent Muscadine wine. The first time I had it...it tasted just like grape juice.

Until you stood up. Oh boy. My mama laughed her butt of at me that night!

Do you know where to get good mayhaw in Funroe, Andie?

Major hugs! Hey Wolfy! We will have to get you some cornbread when you are down here!

You are so right. I miss that place. Luckily I'm only about an 8 or 9 hour drive. I plan on going for a weekend next year.

I used to live next door to a family with a fig tree...well one door down anyway. That tree was GREAT for hiding in!

Muscadines are hard to come by...but if we plan it, we can go to the "Mayhaw" festival! Mayhaw jelly is just as good as muscadine!!!!

We have muscadines all over the farmers markets here right now. The jelly is awesome. I like it in my oatmeal.

I like mayhaw over muscadine because it has a more tart flavor that I really like.

When and where is the Mayhaw festival? I don't think I've ever been.

The festival is in May..not sure about the exact date. It is in Marion, the town I grew up in. About an hour north of Monroe!

Oh that would be good. I want to get to Monroe to get some of Sal's strawberries and May is a good month for that!

That would be Sal Pettito's (?) over on Old Sterlington.

There's also one in Starks, LA, which is sort of northwesterly of Lake Charles. It was heavy on the Pentecostals, though.
