Good evening Ms . Jackson . 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 tellin ’ 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 !
