Bishop's isn't a restaurant and it's actually made in Cherokee, AL. In my hometown you can buy it at the local Wal-mart or Big Star in a sealed package. All you have to do is open, heat, and serve. They also have a wondermus sauce that goes along with it - the more you shake it the hotter it gets.
So if you're ever up near the town of Florence, AL you really need to stop by and pick some up to take home. Promise it wont disappoint.
Since my parents came down just this week that meant we had BBQ :) and I made a salad to go along with it. This is called Apple-Blue Cheese Chopped Salad. Also one of my favorites. One of my friends is a fabulous cook and has a food blog called Let's Eat Tonight. Pretty sure most of my recipes at the moment come from her blog. Here is the recipe - note that I do not do the blue cheese part, not something anyone in my family likes. So even if you can't have the BBQ you need to at least try the salad. Enjoy!
Apple-Blue Cheese Chopped Salad
1 head green leaf lettuce, chopped
1/4 red or sweet onion, finely chopped
1 green apple, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 oz. crumbled blue cheese
1/2 (9-oz.) bag bagel or pita chips, crushed
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
Poppy Seed Dressing
1. Combine lettuce and next 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Gently toss in dressing just before serving.
Poppy Seed Dressing
I have found that mason jars are the best container for making vinaigrettes.
1/2 cup sugar - (note from Kylie, I only use 1/4 cp)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. dried mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. poppy seeds
1. Combine sugar and next 3 ingredients in a jar. Cover and shake until sugar dissolves a bit and mixture combines. Pour in oil; shake to combine. Stir in poppy seeds.
