  Not sure it's considered "cuisine" but my mama was from Texas and first thing I think of is always beans & cornbread!

• traculart  on  February 11, 2017

  For me it's all about the grits, cheese grits, shrimp and grits, Cornbread, Biscuits, Fried Chicken and Sweet Iced Tea. All my favorite dishes made by my Nana from Geogia!

• susankay  on  February 11, 2017

  I think this banana pudding looks really good. I'd probably make it first, after checking out the index.

• DJBWA  on  February 11, 2017

  Biscuits….right out of the oven….yum!

• DKennedy  on  February 11, 2017

  So many recipes appeal to me – I'd probably start with the cheese balls. I am ordering a copy of her DVDs off amazon.

• jezpurr  on  February 11, 2017

  I always think of shortcake and fried foods!!!^_^

• cora429  on  February 11, 2017

  The recipe I want to try most is the butter-baked turkey w/pecan cranberry relish & warm sorghum vinaigrette, but there are so many I want to make. This book WILL be added to my collection sooner or later.

• ellabee  on  February 11, 2017

  To answer the question in the post — spoonbread. And long-cooked green beans. And greens and cornbread. And Brunswick stew. I'll stop here.

• sgump  on  February 11, 2017

  Spoon bread . . . beaten biscuits and country ham . . . slow-cooked greens (served with apple-cider vinegar) . . . "chicken-fried" anything (well, and fried chicken, too, of course!) . . . pecan pie . . . and oh-so-many other lovely things! (Yes, I realize the prompt says "food," not "foods," but who can stop at just one?)

• lgroom  on  February 11, 2017

  Grits, fried chicken, collard greens, baked mac n cheese, potato salad…just some of the iconic foods that remind me of my grandmother from Alabama.

• ebs  on  February 13, 2017

  I grew up in North Carolina and what defines southern food for me is memories of the Sunday dinners we had at my grandmother and great aunt's house, including fried chicken, pole beans, white rice with gravy, biscuits – the pole beans were the best – cooked for a very long time and very tender.

• anniemac  on  February 14, 2017

  Cornbread. While I understand there is a Northern variety (!), cornbread has been a staple all my life. Both my West Virginia and my Florida grandfathers ate it crumbled into buttermilk, and my mother served it to me doused in molasses. It's still a go-to breakfast!

  Southern food to me means grits. And biscuits. Those are the absolute bare minimum requirement to be "southern". Everything else is frosting.

• scarletmacaw  on  February 23, 2017

  I would like to try the turnip greens with ricotta-cornmeal dumplings and tomato jam – only I would like it to be vegetarian.

  Apple Pie Moonshine!

• Sfgordon  on  February 23, 2017

  Fried chicken is what I think of as an iconic southern food, although so many other cultures have their own versions of this dish. I'm from Texas and I will always love my great-grandma's version the best. As for vegetables, I always think of okra as being particularly southern. And for desserts I always think of pralines.
