Curtis Moorman Poet Epulaeryu

Low Country Boil South Carolina Style

LOW COUNTRY BOIL SOUTH CAROLINA STYLE


Potatoes, corn, onions, sausage, shrimp, and crabs
Boiled together to perfection
Old newspapers laid on the table
All ingredients dumped together
Careful, it's hot
YUM!!

Carolyn Devonshire August 16, 2011 at 2:09 PM Curtis, I love all of these ingredients and this must be a delicious feast! I've seen some other entries describing newslapers on the table and, being raised in NJ, am wondering what they're for. Still, this is certainly a true low country boil. Congratulations on your success in Sara's contest. Love, Carolyn Curtis Moorman August 16, 2011 at 3:32 PM Thanks, Carolyn! I'm actually from Georgia, but my daughter lives in Charleston, SC. We did a low country boil there one evening and, WOW!! As for the newspapers, they simply soak up the juices and make for easy cleanup afterwards.

Sara Kendrick August 16, 2011 at 7:13 AM Enjoyed this one..It has all those great ingredients for that "Low Country Boil"..I bet the family dined well that day...Thanks for entering my contest...Sara Curtis Moorman August 16, 2011 at 3:38 PM Thanks, Sara. Your contest was one of those that piqued my interest just because of the topic. If you ever have an opportunity to do a "boil" and use these same ingredients, you won't be disappointed.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart August 11, 2011 at 3:52 PM wow Curtis a sure home cooked meal sounds so YUM for sure..good luck in the contest.. I lived in S.C. when my first hub was in military ..we lived in Sumter, S.C. in base trailer park ..it was awesome but did not like the fire ants ..was bit.. and the snakes..oh ..run..luv.. Curtis Moorman August 16, 2011 at 3:41 PM P.S. Sweetheart -- How sad I am that you are leaving us. I've told you before what an inspiration you have been to me. I hate fire ants too, as well as snakes. And, if they don't run from me, I run from them.
