Creamed corn is soupy and sweet. The kind I'm talking about is not as soupy and is not sweet.

Yeah, that is what I liked about the 'fried corn'.. not soupy or real sweet. The corn was cooked but not so much it was mushy.

Try getting the 'white' or 'mixed' corn on the cob. I have used both of those

Fried green tomatos are also common. You can usually find this kind of stuff in mom and pop restaurants sometimes known as meat & 3's. For one price you get one meat and three vegetables. Sweet tea is the beverage of choice.

Mmmmm, sounds like Heaven!

What I remember growing up in Alabama is fruit sandwiches.
Only three ingredients.

loaf bread
mayo
the fruit of your choice sliced

The one I really liked were: Tomato, Pineapple, Banana, Apple (Granny Smith with a little salt) salt on the tomato also.

When I visit my mom I always want a fresh out of the garden tomato sandwich.

The tomato sandwich is not just Southern. My Irish side of the family up North here has been eating it for many, many years. Ever try an onion sandwich? That's good too as is honey and peanut butter. Have a happy!

We lived in SE Bama--Dothan area, for 5 years, and there was a small chain called Larry's BBQ. OMG was it good. They had an awesome baked pototo loaded with pork, cheese, butter and sour cream!!

Fletcher's BBQ sauce was the best ever...used to sop it with the french rolls you got with the rib plate....wondering if I could get the recipe for the sauce for personal use only...would be willing to pay a nominal fee...

I know I am very late on this post, but frankly Alabamians consume huge quantities of fish...Birmingham's fine food restaurant menus are dominated by fish items.
