I always thought the national food of the South was deep-fried grease.

I think people should mind their own business in what people eat.

"How can Southerners give up delicious staples fried chicken, fried seafood, fried green tomatoes and cornbread slathered in butter?"
I've found leaving the region to be helpful.
But, I can't get a decent meal out here.
I miss my beloved South...especially the food.

Southern cookin' is the finest around. Did ya'll catch this one:
a bacon-cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme doughnut bun
To: dixiechick2000
Then come home, I have been up there to visit but I would not want to live there. By the way we have to die of something may as well enjoy our meals while we can.

"Luther Burger," a bacon-cheeseburger served on a Krispy Kreme doughnut bun
Why not just stick a burger patty with bacon in an edible bowl made of lard?
I grew up in TX and OK where we have our share of fried foods. They have nothing on the South. ;-) One of the first amazing things I saw here in the mountains of N. GA and W. NC was the deep fried hotdog slathered with cole slaw that was mostly mayo.

I would love nothing better than to come home.
But, it would be one heck of a commute for my husband. ;o)

The weirdest fried food I ever heard of was from Sacramento, of all places.
Deep-fried Twinkies.
Not bad.

Actually it's either a Moon Pie or my mom's chicken fried steak. The official drink is a tie between Coca-Cola, sweet tea, and Jack Daniel's.

I don't fry everything. In fact, I rarely fry anything. I did grow up on Beans and Ham, Fried Potatoes, and Cornbread, though. Fried Pork chops, Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes and butter, Biscuits and GRAVY...I'm gaining weight just thinking about that food. Yum.
Amazingly, despite my geographical location, I'm intelligent enough to glean from the last 20 years of news stories that frying is bad bad bad. I am now a vegetarian.
OH NO! The news media wont be able to say all Southerners are fat and ignorant now!

Next time you fire up the deep frier (or turkey frier), try tossing some items from the cupboard in there. Kinda fun.
