Talk:suffering succotash

I heard the (a) story of "Sufferin' Succotash:" Succotash might have been the name of one of (the) Powhatan's brothers and he wanted the settlers gone. When they asked for food he brought them a mixture of rotting corn and Lima beans thinking it would drive them away, but instead--they LOVED it! Probably the fact that the new arrivals had such bad taste and just the fact of their presence drove him crazy. His mental illness and instability was in those times called "suffering;" and the moniker stuck. 2600:1700:C1C0:52C0:E547:8B9E:FCEB:78A8 07:12, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
