I can eat boiled okra easier than I could ever face sushi or raw oysters....
I can eat and love to eat raw oysters....with a bit of cocktail sauce....my dad taught me to love them. Now sushi is a different story .... I will leave that to people who like it!!
That sounds pretty good except for the sweet cornbread. No self-respecting Southerner eats cornbread make with sugar. That's called "cake!"
My acid test for a Southern cookbook is a recipe for fried green tomatoes. And none of that creamy sauce for them...a good fried green tomato should be crispy!
i dont think anyone in their right mind is gonna pick Northern food over Southern food.
I prefer Northern food to Southern food-I grew up on it and much of it is 'home' to me. But nothing in the world beats my mom's Russian food-that's the best.
I do love Mac and Cheese and Collared Greens, and have developed a fondness for Red Beans and Rice. I don't think there's a need to say one food is better than the other-can't we all just agree that ALL American food, whether it's Northern or Southern in region, is ALL DELICIOUS?
Well, most folks do prefer the food they grew up on! After all, mama does it best!
I never understood why macaroni and cheese is considered a Southern dish. My mom, who grew up in the North Carolina mountains, never heard of it until maybe the late 1950s.
I'm thinking that it was like pizza and spaghetti...most Americans (Italian-Americans excepted, of course) had never heard of them until the WWII soldiers who had been in Italy brought that knowledge back with them. My dad said he wouldn't eat spaghetti for years because he had seen the pasta in Italy, draped over balcony railings to dry...with the flies lighting on it!
I ll go Southern but there are many Northern foods i like as well.
Southern:Fried Chicken,Okra,Carolina BBQ,Cobbler,Cornbread,Black Eyed Pea's..
Cajun,Grits,Greens(if its done right)Sweet Potatoe Pie,Cheese Straws.
