Interesting that the dish pictured on the cover of Victuals is something we ate VERY frequently, in season, at the family farm (and at home) — that or something similar.

Raw milk, ham (or bacon), peas, new potatoes, and onions.

Or raw milk and peas.

Or raw milk and new potatoes.

Or raw milk and tender young green beans

Or some combination.

Etcetera.

What she calls "killed" lettuce, we call "wilted" lettuce.

The cooking is very much the same.

The main differences are things like collards (other greens are used—but collards are not unheard of here), okra (various other things are used instead of okra) and sorghum molasses (It's not unheard of here, but maple syrup and honey are MUCH more common!!!)
