I eat fried like its popcorn.....I have to make it from scratch and have to spend a fortune in NZ to get it.....the trials of a southern boy that doesn't get back home often enough...
As for the other preparations, the only way that I don't like it is boiled with canned tomatoes....too slimy....and my grandmother used to put a big dollop on my plate to eat.....mixed with enough crumbled cornbread, it was less slimy and then edible....
