barbque ( Honey!!! when I first came to NJ I was shocked to see what they thought barbque was. I am talking about the pulled pork with crushed red pepper and vinegar)
Love for the locals and newcomers to this state to share what they have experience in North Carolina and Southern dishes. If you find it a certain restaurant feel free to share that as well.
Green beans with cucumber slices, tomato slices, cantalope slices, chopped onions and sometimes sweet pickles chopped all stirred together and eat with corn bread or biscuits. I call it "green bean salad."
Stewed beef with biscuits (not beef stew, no vegetables)
Banana pudding made from scratch with homemade pudding.
Coffee and milk to drink--I don't like tea
Corn on the cob
The above foods were cooked by my mother. My favorite place to eat in the mountains is the Coffee Shop at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My favorite food there is country ham. Their biscuits are good and oh that jelly!
I forgot to mention that the Northwest Trading Post has really good cookies.
Anyone who wants some Texas BBQ brisket gets pound-for-pound on the city-data market for eastern NC (vinegar) BBQ pork. I could go for some right about now. We'll think of something to throw extra in for a few jars of Duke's Mayonnaise - we do requests. I didn't know I liked potato salad or coleslaw before I came across Duke's. Seriously.
I haven't tried the western NC BBQ - you will hardly find anyone in the east who gives a favorable view of it so I will just try it for myself one day. In western NC.
