country captain

you would have to tell me what country captain is

country captain

Lived in the south my whole life, and have never heard of this, guess i am not a true southerner:

This dish, known throughout Georgia and much of the southern United States, dates to the early 1800s. There are several versions of its origin. One story says that it was introduced to Savannah by the

captain of a vessel that plied the spice route from India. Another tale says that it%26#39;s named for the native non-commissioned officers in India--';Country Captains.'; A known fact is that it was the favorite

entree of President Franklin Roosevelt, introduced to him by his cook at Warm Springs, Georgia.

1 frying chicken, cut in pieces

1/2 c flour

salt and ground pepper, to taste

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tbsp butter

1/2 c finely chopped onion

1 clove garlic

3/4 c finely chopped green pepper

1 c sliced mushrooms

1/2 c raisins

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp thyme

2 c chopped canned tomatoes

1/2 c toasted, slivered almonds

I%26#39;ve never heard of it either and my family has always been from the South.

There is no where in Savannah that serves that dish. It sounds good, though.

I think it%26#39;s one of those ';sort of'; southern dishes. My grandmother used to do a chicken cooked in tomatoes dish with the onions, peppers, etc, but I am sure that she never in her whole life owned a can of curry. Nor did she use garlic. It just wasn%26#39;t one of her things.

However, the general recipe was about the same. It was good and enjoyable. I had never heard it called Country Captain either. It was just Chicken and Tomatoes. Of course, I date back a loooonnnggg time, so the dish could be something that%26#39;s fairly new by that name in our area.

There are a lot of Southern Recipes that use Thyme and Parsley along with the usual seasonings.

There is a great recipe for Country Captain in the Herb Traub%26#39;s Pirates House Cookbook

so sixth gen, does that mean they serve it at pirate ?

you are all cold.... it was in the news and it sounded good, I%26#39;m guessing I%26#39;ts a lie or no place serves it......

Hominy Grill in Charleston serves it - according to a NYTimes article from January 23, 2009.

Country Captain originated at FDR%26#39;s White House by one of his cooks. That cook later worked for an old Georgia family. The recipe is found in the Georgia Heritage cookbook of the Colonial Dames of the State of Georgia. I%26#39;ve never seen it in any Savannah restaurant. The use of the word ';captain'; replaces ';capon'; in the original name.
