Our countryside's cooking came to its full flower for the bran-dances which came into being, I think, because the pioneers liked to shake limber heels, but had not floors big enough for the shaking.
But they came in shoals to the bran-dances, and were audacious enough often to take away from some youth fathoms deep in love, his favorite partner. Sometimes, too, a lot of them pre-empted all the prettiest girls, and danced a special set with them.
To this day when I hear them, my feet patter in spite of me. You could not dance to them steadily, with soft airs blowing all about, leaves flittering in sunshine, and water rippling near, without getting an appetite commensurate to the feasts in wait for you. One basket from a plantation sufficed for bran-dances ending at sundown those running on past midnight demanded two.
