  • Aunt Jemima A Part Of Texas History

    Aunt Jemima A Part Of Texas History





    Our Aunt Jemima would have been 131 yrs. old on March 23rd.

    Lillian Richard Williams

    Coming down the road eastward from the cemetery, if one stops where the road forks and absorbs the surrounding sights, the Baptist and Methodist Churches off to the left, the towering spreading oaks and the way the road forks and moves through the scene, then on past the scattered houses, one can’t help but be transported back to a simpler time and to a...

  • The Story Behind Best Maid Pickles

    The Story Behind Best Maid Pickles

    My wife and I love best maid pickles so I thought I would share their story.. The year is 1926. Tucked away in a small rock home on a quiet road in a small rural Texas town called Mansfield, Mildred Dalton is busy in her kitchen making pastries and pies. Her husband, Jessie Otis Dalton, operates a one-room grocery store in Fort Worth, Texas. Each day he takes to work with him more of her pastry creations and merchandises them alongside other food items for sale. Times are tough and extra money...

    Elgin Texas The Sausage Capital Of Texas Part II

    Although Southside had cornered the market on sausage for more than 60 years, their reign would be challenged in 1949 when Hermina and Rudolph Meyer opened a small drive-in grocery where they sold raw sausage made from their German family recipe. Mr. Meyer began giving samples of his sausage to small grocers in Austin, and they began asking him to make enough so they could sell it in their stores. Business boomed and the Meyers' son, Farrel Meyer, joined them in the sausage business in the earl...

    Elgin Texas, The Sausage Capital Of Texas Part I

    In 1882 when Elgin Texas was established, William Moon started Southside Market (the oldest sausage maker in Texas) by raising and slaughtering animals on FM 1704 in Elgin, TX. He carried the meat into town by horse-drawn wagon and sold it door-to-door. He had to sell it fresh or lose it to spoilage. Therefore, the Smoked Sausage and BBQ was created simply from having fresh meat and no refrigeration. In 1886, Moon opened his first brick and mortar store on Central Ave. In 1908, he sold the business...

    The Story Behind Pittsburg Hot Links An East Texas Favorite

    They are in every Walmart and many other stores, your know them you seen them, Texas Caviar


    Few East Texas foods are as well-known as those spicy sausages, better known as “hot links,” served at Pittsburg (the one in East Texas). The hot links were first sold in 1897 by Charlie Hasselback, of German descent, who sold the uncooked links from a building on Pittsburg’s Main Street to customers, who prepared the links for meals at home. By 1918, Hasselback...

  • The Story Behind Stubbs BBQ Sauce

    The Story Behind Stubbs BBQ Sauce

    Barbecue sauce can be a very personal choice when it comes to flavor and texture. Walk into any grocery store and you'll find an entire section of an aisle devoted to this tangy, sweet sauce to lather on your preferred cut of meat and roast it on the grill. Most people have their favorite style, whether they prefer a zing or sweeter notes of rich molasses.

    Stubb's BBQ sauce has a following with plenty of fans but many people may not realize that purchasing a bottle of Stubb's sauce...
