Mayhaw and Swamp Gravy

Not from around here?Don't know about Mayhaw and Swamp Gravy? Then you had best listen very carefully because no matter the form, if you partake, then you have had a wonderful southern treat! If you hear folks talking about Mayhaw, they might be talking about the best jelly in the world that is made locally right here in Colquitt, Ga. We are famous for this stuff! We are also famous for our "Mayhaw" musical and comedy show featuring outstanding local talent, the show is performed here at Cotten Hall, which by the way is the home of Swamp Gravy. Now if you overhear a conversation about Swamp Gravy and how wonderful it is, listen carefully, did they mention fish and hush puppies or did they talk about the wonderful stories and the unforgettable music. Swamp Gravy is a wonderful gravy that we serve with fried catfish and hushpuppies. It is also the name of our Official Georgia Folk Life Play. The ingredients are the characters the original music, and the happenings and events in the stories of our ancestors brought to life on the stage of Cotton Hall.Learn all about Mayhaws and Swamp Gravy at www.swampgrvy.com
