Epicurean Kentuckian: Farmers Market provides entire supper

No picture, but imagine an Adair County supper with colors more vivid than the prettiest Thai dish, with the main entree Purple Hull peas, and you have the enviable repast of the proudest gentry in beautiful Joppa, KY. Pipe in the Columbia Baptist Church evening chimes and the old Hasenour's on Barrett Avenue with Kurt Seigert and the Strolling Strings couldn't have provided a more royal dinner.

For supper tonight, Friday, August 3, I had purple hull peas, okra, tomato and onion salad, the prettiest lavender colored mash potatoes made from purple potatoes and lemon bread for dessert. All from the Adair County Farmers Market. Thanks to all our local farmers for your great produce. melewi --MElewi
MElewis, thanks. Wish I had had that. I think it may be safe to say at this point that Adair County, KY, is now the "Purple Hull Capital of Kentucky." and that the Southernization of local cuisine is now an unstoppable trend, thanks to you and your accomplice(s), That Woman, et al. Congratulations. -EW
