Who carries it, Publix, Wal-Mart?

I found mine @ a SuperWally's, John. If you can find their red beans (no rice), etc., just as good except better rice, since you make your own. All of Glory products I have tasted are really good. Margaret Holmes NOW releasing similar things, so I expect them to be good also. A thing about MH's products -- this is only manufacturer that I can find that has White Acre field peas. A delicacy in my part of the woods. Yes, fresh IS better, but...

I buy the Glory Red Beans and Rice in the "International" [sic] aisle at Meijer, where they have the southern/New Orleans food items.

In the vegetable aisle they have the greens, and another favorite of mine, the Sweet Potato Casserole. It is a great side dish with pork. There is a recipe on the can for sweet potato pie, which I haven't yet tried.

Their green bean casserole has done okay, for me, in a pinch. I just add some fried onions {FYI~it is watery, and not quite like making it yourself}.

The country cabbage was good, too.

Ashphalt:
My local Kroger was discontinuing Sylvia's greens, and a bought a couple of cans of mixed for @ $.75. Are they pretty good?

I ate at Sylvia's in NYC a little while ago and I was dissapointed. I have not bought any of her canned products because of that.

In addition, I was intimidated with the local area of Sylvia's. I recoginize that the neighborhood is part of the ambience but it was too much for me.

For the best of both worlds (or brands) try mixing a can of Glory red beans with a can of Blue Runner red beans. Add some Andouille sausage and serve it over rice. Don't tell anybody, hide the cans, and let them think you've been cooking all day.

Hmmmmmm. I had some of their "mixed greens" (kale, collards, turnip greens) the other day; and THEY were a bit tough, also. Hmmmmmmm...

Correct, Paul.

I buy the Allen's brand of pole beans all of the time. They are pretty good, especially when seasoned with a packet of GOYA brand ham seasoning.

I believe Allen's brand has canned greens.

"Get a Rope" is the Pace Picante ad slogan for folks who get their salsa from NYC. They probably only run that ad in Texas and Oklahoma.

Glory does make real good canned stuff. I am still looking for their Hopin John at the stores near me.

Attached is the link to their website for those who may have an interest.

I have never noted their products being salty however I like salt. I really like their collard greens.

Asphalt, Glory has come out with a "Sensibly Seasoned" line of their products. Lower in Salt at least.

I have used Glory product for years and I truly enjoy them. I think I have bought and tried about every thing they sell. I believe you will be pleased. I believe they all are southern seasoned.

Unfortunately for some of us, many of the Glory Foods have MSG. So... even though they sound good, I haven't bought any for my family after reading the labels.

That doesn't sound too bad. I love a good potpie, so if it's in that neighborhood I better give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

I found Glory greens at Wal-mart a couple 3 years ago. I'm too lazy to cook down my own green so these have been a really good find. I love to cook up a pot of beans, some cornbread and a big can of their mixed greens. Now that is some good eats!

As for black eyes I tend to buy Bush's southern style. If I have any bacon fat around, which I usually do, I'll add a spoon of that to both the black eyes and to the greens. Been known to render down 4 or 5 strips of bacon just to have to add to these products. And my doctor wants to know how my cholosterol is LOW.

I'll have to look at the other Glory products and see if they are available, like the frozen foods.

The Southern Womens Show is scheduled for 2 weeks away in Charlote, NC and I noticed that Glory Foods has a booth there again this year.
They always have samples cooked and give away coupons for free cans of the greens and beans and good coupons towards the frozen items also. Looking forward to the show and all of the free food samples and great coupons.

I've never been able to cook greens properly - appreciate the tip ... will give them a try. They seem to be widely available in the DC area.

I love the greens, but thats all iv tried, sometimes I just sit down and eat the whole can to get my greens for the day.

I've lived here all my life, in the northwestern and southeastern areas, and had never heard of Effingham, SC. Effingham, GA, yes, but not SC. So, I googled it and discovered what seems to be a really great news site that I wanted to share:

Apologies in advance for being a wee bit off topic.

P.S. Yes, Virginia, there is an Effingham, SC.

I am a bit biased, perhaps, as the MH entity offers acre peas. Now, to a TRUE southerner, there is NOTHING more sacred than white acre peas and white cornbread with no sweetner (aka sugar) involved in the process. BACON FAT RULES!!!!

Adjudicator,
Margaret Holmes products used to come from a canning plant in Sandersville, Georgia. That plant may yet be open, but the label says "McCall Farms, Effingham, S. C." now. Our local Bell's supermarket carries quite a few of their offerings, and at bargain prices.
As for Bacon Fat, I own that 45 by Andre "Mr. Rhythm" Williams. Gets greasy when ya play it,too. Authentic.
