Succotash (V)
Succotash is standard American fare, the addition of squash probably makes the a more traditional recipe. Succotash (from the native American Narragansett; msíckquatash, "boiled corn kernels") is a food dish consisting primarily of lima beans, carrots and sweetcorn.
This method of preparing vegetables became very popular during the Great Depression in the United States. It was sometimes cooked in a casserole form, often with a light pie crust on top as in a traditional pot pie. Succotash is a traditional dish of many Thanksgiving celebrations in Pennsylvania and other states. In Indiana, Succotash is made with green beans and corn instead of lima beans.
Other uses of the word "succotash" include its use as the catch phrase of the Warner Bros. cartoon cat Sylvester; "Sufferin' succotash
