Ooohhh. Neckbones. When I was a kid, Mama used to make neckbones and dressing. She'd boil the neckbones, pick the meat off them, use the broth to make up a cornbread dressing with no or very little sage, but heavy on the black pepper, and stir in the meat. With long-cooked green beans and potatoes, and maybe some corn, that made a fine, fine dinner.
I had neckbones and gravy over egg noodles at a soul food place in Cleveland, Miss., a year or so ago. First neckbones I'd had since I was a kid.
