Banana Pie Supreme...Loosen Your Corset!



Mammy: Oh now, Miss Scarlett, you come on and eat jess a little, honey!

Scarlett: No! I'm going to have a good time today, and
do my eating at the barbecue.

Mammy: If you don't care what folks says about dis family I does!
I is told ya and told ya that you can always tell a lady by
 the way she eat in front of folks like a bird.
And I ain't aimin' for you to go to Mr. John Wilkenson's and
eat like a field hand and gobble like a hog!

Scarlett: Fiddle-dee-dee!
Ashley told me he likes to see a girl with a healthy appetite!

  1. Wow! I think this pie would require more than just loosening one's corset. Sweat pants for sure!
