A few of the words
- POTLIKKER
- Pot likker — the rich, smoky broth left behind after collard greens are cooked down — was once considered poor folks' food; today Southern chefs treat it as liquid gold, ladled over cornbread or grits.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- HAMHOCK
- A ham hock is the joint where the pig's leg meets the foot. Slow-simmered for hours, it gives collard greens and beans a deep, smoky backbone that no shortcut can quite replicate.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- CORNMEAL
- Stone-ground cornmeal, still milled at gristmills across the South, holds more of the corn's natural oils and flavor than finely processed meal — and it's the base for both grits and classic Southern cornbread.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- FATBACK
- Fatback — salt-cured pork fat from the back of the pig — has been a cornerstone of Southern cooking for centuries, used to season greens, fry cornbread, and start countless skillets.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About Food & Home
A Southern table has its own quiet rhythm — grits stirred until creamy, collard greens slow-cooked with a ham hock until the pot likker turns deep and glossy. Fatback renders in the skillet, garlic and onion soften in the drippings, and a splash of vinegar brightens the whole pot at the end. Hot sauce on the side is less a condiment than a requirement.
