Dolly Parton had a pretty rustic upbringing in rural Tennessee, where her family would eat whatever was available. That included game like bear, rabbit, squirrel, and groundhog, so you know Parton isn't a pretentious eater.
To that end, should you be lucky enough to get an invitation to have lunch at Parton's home, she'd likely cook you her favorite meal for entertaining. "I love roast pork, especially the fatty part," she told The New York Times. "I can't help it. The greasier the food, the better." Chances are she'd serve that meal with fried okra, turnip greens, and green beans to accompany the porky main dish.
Given Parton's preference for hearty, meaty meals and country-style cooking, it's not altogether surprising that she's just not that into cute food. "I don't like pretty food," she continued. "The way I see it, if the food's too pretty, it ain't too good."
