Hello Karen,
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but it's the only recipe that I can find with a name like that. This recipe dates from the civil war.
Phaed
Chicken Purlough (pronounced perlow)
Kill and dress one whole chicken.
Place in water to cover, simmer for several hours until tender.(replace water
as necessary)
Remove from fire and cool.
Remove bones, fat and skin from chicken and feed to yard critters.
Use remaining broth to cook rice. Add salt, pepper and other spices to taste.
Add boned chicken when rice is partially done. You might add paprika or small
red peppers to add not only taste but color.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is a recipe handed down for many generations as almost everyone was able
to maintain chickens as a farmyard food supplement. They provided eggs AND meat.
Rice was also plentiful in the south as a staple food."

Hi Julie,
Well... I think you mean "Mezzogiorno". "Mezzogiorno" refers to the region of Italy
south of Rome. "Pasta Mezzogiorno" is pasta fixed in the style of this region, or
"pasta southern-style". If you ate a dish with this name in a restaurant, then what
you ate was likely a creation of that particular chef, but based on "southern-style" pasta.
Below is the only recipe that I could find in English. The choice of adding meat would be up to you.
Phaed
Fresh Pasta Mezzogiorno
Enough cooked spaghetti for two people, still hot.
2 cloves garlic
Handful of chopped flat parsley
olive oil
four fresh tasty (vine or plum) tomatoes
Crush the garlic and fry gently in oil in a saucepan.
Chop the tomatoes
Throw in the spaghetti, stir
Throw in the chopped tomatoes, and stir in over the heat until they are just beginning
to soften.
Stir in the parsley.
Serve with a good drizzle of good olive oil on each portion.

Hi Ruth,
"Bisquick" is a brand of pre-made dough mix. You can make your own. See below. If
a recipe calls for "Bisquick", use this mixture. Plain flour wouldn't work right.
Also, see this site:
The Best Homemade Bisquick Recipes
Phaed
Homemade Bisquick
Ingredients :
7 c. flour
1 c. non-fat milk crystals
4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. baking powder
1 1/2 c. Crisco shortening
Preparation :
Mix like cornmeal. Store in refrigerator until ready to use. Use
same as you would Bisquick.
(To prepare biscuits, mix 2 cups mix and 1/2 cup milk or water.
Stir until blended. Drop by spoonful on baking sheet. Bake at 400
degrees for 10-12 minutes.)
