My biscuits have been Passed and Approved by several Southerners (the
only complaint being that I tend to cut them too small, largely a
function of the size of the jelly glass available ;  )   ), but I still
think it advisable to qualify them as a mere simulation of the real
thing. If the situation were reversed and my friend from Arkansas were
to turn out The Perfect Chowder, I'd be happy, but ever so slightly
surprised. I'm a big believer in genetics, and will always admit my
limitations. ;  )

Pace Foods, BTW, committers of the gratuitous New-York-City-bashing
referenced above, have offices in Texas, but are a subsidiary of
Campbell Soups, based in Camden, New Jersey (and as far as I know, it's
where their factories are).

Hey, I live in the Southern Region of the East Kingdom...does that count
for nothing? My Dad was born in the South Bronx... .

Enjoy the recipe, though, and Happy Holidays!
