If I had a choice and were celebrating today I would go for some pork rib BBQ, scalloped potatoes, corn bread and collard greens with watermelon for desert as it is red representing resilience and joy plus I dearly love it! My mother was from Maryland and cooked some Southern dishes. She also made spoon bread and watermelon rind pickles which I relished! The only dish she cooked I passed on was okra.
