If you cook grits be sure to use Jim Dandy quick grits. Follow the recipe on the bag. Add a little salt, add the grits to boiling water and stir while reducing heat. Stir a few more times and then turn to low with lid on pot.

If you are from the south, what would you not leave off the menu?

If you are not from the south, what would you like to eat?

So far we have:

Fried Oysters
Fried Chicken
Cheese Grits
Collards
Fatback
Mac & Cheese (maybe)

Thanks guys for any and all suggestions. We are probably leaving biscuits off the menu because this will take place outdoors and they can be a PIA.

If you are having NY NJ folks, I can help you with that. Originally from Brooklyn. Skip the fatback.

The rest of it sounds really good! Most of us have traveled in the south and many of us love cheese grits.

Shrimp grits is another favorite. We always get them in Myrtle Beach.

You may want to think about NOT putting Pork or Ham Hocks in with the vegetables. It isn't expected in the North and there are many people in that region who eat fish, seafood, and chicken, but no pork or ted meat.

Maybe add fish. Mac and cheese sounds good to me. Home made, right?

Love these! Enjoy them in South Carolina. Just goes to show, southern cooking is not monolithic.

The NY/NJ people eat seafood. There are exceptions, but most do. We share the same coast after all.

No I'm leaving this thread, 'cause y'all are making me hungry.

Deviled eggs may not have a Southern origin, but they are certainly a Southern staple. A great addition to any Southern menu.

Deviled eggs are international and go all the way back to Roman history.

In the south they are popular-with a little sweet pickle relish. (....in the bible belt they.sometimes refered to as "stuffed eggs" or "dressed eggs" at church picnics to avoid mentioning the devil.

Besides things already mentioned, teeny ham sandwiches in sweet potato biscuits.
Get the Southern Living cookbook from the library, or one of Paula Deen's and make some things out of those.
One of my favorite desserts is from a southern living magazine and its super easy. Bake an angel food cake and cut it into 3 layers. Mix 1/3 c. sour cream with a jar of lemon curd and fill the layers. Make a cream cheese frosting and top with coconut.
