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

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.
We eat all meals as if they were our last, because eventually it will be. Pass the gravy, please........

Not quite. Drop a dollup of corn meal mixture into the deep-fried grease, let it sizzle and the edges curl up, and you got yourself a sho-nuff hoe cake!
BBQ & tex-mex is the national cusine of TX!

It isn't our national food, it is our national staple. "Pretend" Southerners may have a can of grease above their stoves. "Real" southerners use it to cook.
Wonder how soon it will be until a fat victim sues the Varsity?
Then you have never had good Southern cooking.
If you don't like what Southerners eat, you could always move to Boulder, Colorado. Become an earthy, freeze dried leftist hippie and live off of nuts and twigs, and breathe thin air enhanced by pot smoke. Hey, look what its done for Ward Churchill.

That's funny, real funny maybe you should try out for the the Comedy Channel. The reason Southern people fry things is that until recently (my childhood) there were no alternatives to LARD. Geez, I grew up with everything fried in bacon grease. Everything! If it wasn't fried it was baked in a pan smeared with LARD. I'm 55 now and I've got a 20% blockage in one of my hearts arteries. It's genetics pure and simple.
We only occasionally eat Southern anymore (we live in Colorado) but my mouth waters thinking of Turnip Greens, Black eyed Peas and Ham. God help me but I do love it.
Oh, pass the Tabasco sauce.
