Somewhere between bacon and lard, you\u2019ll find Streak o\u2019 Lean<\/strong>. It has a long and varied history in traditional southern foodways<\/a>, having been used for everything from seasoning to rendering for fat. This recipe showcases it on its own, dredged in flour and fried. One of the tastiest recipes from my childhood!<\/p>\n

I debated with myself for a long time about whether to post this recipe. A really long time<\/em>. Not just because almost no one will know what it is. Those folks are going to be few and far between.<\/p>\n

\"Finished\"Finished<\/div>\n

But mostly because old-time southern food has such a bad reputation. It doesn\u2019t need me adding fuel to the fire with old recipes that just reinforce that stereotype. Yet, despite all those reasons nagging me, I still wanted to do it. So, here it is. Streak o\u2019 Lean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s ever heard of Streak o\u2019 Lean<\/a>? Speak up. (testing, testing, is this thing on?)<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandma always called it \u201cwhite side\u201d. I remember her always serving it with white rice with tomato gravy(some sort of stewed tomato combo) and fried cornbread. She made these little silver dollar sized fried corn cakes that had just the right amount of grated onion in the batter. I miss her and her cooking. Thanks for sharing this recipe.\u201d<\/em>
