GRAVEYARD STEW

   DARE has 1911's DIALECT NOTES for "graveyard stew," or milk toast.  I'd posted on this before, but with later citations.

("Graveyard stew--fried flipper--two white wings over, hard--small steak!"  The story is about the "small steak," and "graveyard stew" is not explained--ed.)

   DARE has 1939 for "grillade" ("Fr settlement areas, esp LA").
