How many of you ever chewed a piece of raw sugar cane?
The homegrown article has me thinking. How many of you ever chewed a piece of raw sugar cane?

Yes indeed my grandfather would bring it to us and cut it up and we'd happily
chew away! Times were really much simpler then...I sure miss my grandfather and the innocence of childhood!:) |
Not me. I've never tried it.

Yes many times. anyone ever hoed cotton too. I agree it was a much simpler time. We never went to Wal-mart and brought toys like they do now. Had picnics under a tree in the front yard.

Compare that to World of Warcraft, PSP, and iPods.... |
Just remember those picnics, with the platter of fried chicken and piss pumkins [watermelon as you call it] and big coolers of lemonaide and tea on one end of the table. The softball for entertainment.

What an awesome childhood memory! Even now, my mom always beats my 11 year at checkers, and she is a whiz with a yo-yo. Amazes my kids because she is so good at those things. String tricks, too. She has a great time showing off for them!:)

My grandfather lived in the middle of cotton an soybean fields. They were farmers. They lived in a 3 bedroom house with 7 kids. The parents in one, boys in one, girls the other. They had a spare bed set up in one corner of the living room for company. No air conditioner, slept with the windows open and no screens on them. They had an outhouse and you took a bath in a no.3 washtub on the back porch. And of coarse well water. they worked the fields and 2 girls would come in to cook lunch about 10:00 o'clock. They raised their own chickens, turkeys, geese. I remember well.

So if you've tried sugar cane, have you ever been to a cane grinding? Had cane syrup, eaten the candy that drops when they make the syrup? Simple treasures! |
Sheesh.....
It's hard to believe that anyone can live in Louisiana and NOT have chewed on a piece of cane at least once.... Anime....have you simply passed on it, because surely you have to have at least seen it being "worked" at one of our numerous Louisiana culture festival held around the state? |
Yummmm!!! I have! LOVE it! It's been forever though. My dad used to have it all the time when I was a kid. Mmmm! I miss it!
I would like some of it! I'll have to be on the look out for it! Is it in season now? |
