Good evening Ms. Jackson. Such a fancy meeting you here.
Hi, Clyde. This is my friend, Wen. She's visiting from UCLA.
Clyde Smith. Pleasure to meet you. May I treat you ladies to dinner?
OK! I was just telling Wen about African-American food.
You weren't going to tell her about chitterlings and hog maws, were you? Well, my Creole ancestors never ate that stuff. We have refined French tastes.
Hey! That ' stuff ' is my grandma's cooking, and it's good!
