A Soul Food Dish...
What you need to add is a pinch of flavor...
Maybe add some spicy herbs to enhance it's
flavor? You can add a slice of pure hot peppers
and maybe a small sprinkle of ginger to enrich its
taste. If you happen to be feeling a little froggy? Maybe add
just a little pinch of salt, but be very careful when
you use that stuff. This dish is rich and
full of flavor and not for everyone to eat. Did I
forget to tell you its name? You may have had
of it before; it's a southern fried Cajun catfish
dinner, maybe served with a little greens or mashed
potatoes? Some people call it the dirty fish, some
people call it by its other name: blacken cat fish
dinner, but were I come from?
We just simply call it a soul food dinner.
