Preface
by Francis Edward Abernethy
In which the editor justifies the title of this publication with a learned discussion of sonovaguns, jambalayas, mulligans, and slumgullionsamong other things.
Once upon a time up in Panola County we made one sonovabitch of a stewwhich I shall politely refer to hereafter as a sonovagun stew. Some kinfolks of Alfred Jernigan's were having an all-day squirrel hunt and sonovagun stew on their place on the Sabine River. The family had an old shed roof of a camp on the river bank where they gathered to fish, hunt, play dominoes, or drink, according to the season. They had an assortment of tables and chairs and cooking equipment, an iron skillet and a blue enamel coffee pot and a syrup bucket of forks and spoons. A container of grease, another of corn meal, and salt-and-pepper shakers in an orange-crate shelf showed that they were prepared to cook a squirrel or catfish on an instant. And in the middle of the campgroundon this cool clean October day before the world got so crowdedsquatted a smoked-black, cast-iron wash pot, one foot gone, just waiting to boil a missionary, make lye soap, or host a very large stew.
