Food And Elvis

I had opened a can of low fat rice-pudding and was watching a food program, a big cook off in Tupelo. Elvis father, Vernon, once built a small house here, it cost him $ 250, but he could not pay the bank and lost it; now the house is a shrine. The winner, a cook who looked like a body builder, said the pork had to be so tender that a toothless man could eat it, and the sauce had to be right, not too sweet or too sharp but with a hint of lemon. When Elvis got to be famous he bought his parents a big house and filled it with junks, he never been in a fine home, how was he to know how the rich lived. Cooks have come a long way, from the backroom to where a bitter, low paid man resided and cleaned his nails with a carving knife… and now TV stars. Elvis best food was not pork, but a whole loaf, sliced long ways, with a thick layer of peanut butter, bacon and jam washed with sweet coca cola.
