Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! (said by Paula Deen, unknown if original with her).
I didn't investigate the cookbook enough to notice that it wasn't a
bona fide Southern cookbook! My apologies! I'm glad that you pointed that out, so folks who saw my post won't make recipes from it and think that they have cooked real Southern food!
And, yep, there's lots of ambiguity and difference of opinion about what constitutes the boundaries of "the South."
