Me choosing souse
Souse, similar to a soup, is a big thing here on Long Island. This Souse Out aided grades five and six at Mangrove Bush Primary School who are going on a field trip to New Providence, Bahamas. I wanted to be sure to get to the Francis Darville Center between 7am and 11am on that Saturday. The menu listed chicken souse, mutton souse, pig feet souse, sheep tongue, stew fish, stew conch and boil fish. Cakes, johnny cake, juice and tea were on sale too. I truly intended to buy the pig feet souse, but all that was left was the chicken even though we were there by 7:30. The johnny cake, the consistency of pizza dough, dunked great in the broth!
