This is a fascinating (with mouth-water descriptions) article. Despite experiencing the execution of a chicken and subsequent frying by my grandmother (in Rome, Georgia, I never heard of a pully bone. Nor am I familiar with Tomato Gravy. Could these be South Carolina vernacular?
The kitchen was located on the Orangeburg Scarp, the Line between the Lower Coastal Plains and the Upper Coastal Plains, but my mothers father was a Deaver out of Madison County, NC, by way of Union County, SC. All the rest of my tree is Orangeburgh District or Williamsburg County, each in South Carolina lowcountry—and it is too late to ask.

Hi Edward,
I don't know.

Thank you for your comment,
