I live in Georgia and have never even heard of that before, but goddamn that sounds delicious.

Country ham, for our Northern brothers, is a salt cured ham with a lot of regional variation with how to serve it. If it's being offered as a main course, it's typically boiled (sometimes in cola) to help get rid of the saltiness. If it's being served on the side it'll often be shaved off in thin slices like charcuterie. Smithfield country ham is traditionally made from peanut-fed hogs and is also smoked and aged for at least 6 months. A few brands are pretty high-end and are similar to jamon iberico.

>>6269807

it's definitely more of an upper south thing, along with beaten biscuits which are like a sort of hard tack biscuit that was popular with soldiers and wouldn't rot so you could make a hundred or so on a single day and have them last you a month.

Eastern Carolina barbecue consists of pulled pork with a sauce based off of apple cider vinegar and red pepper. It's one of my favorites because the sauce isn't so sweet that it overpowers the pork. Here's some of my favorite recipes, though I usually add in a pinch of clove and maybe some orange peel: http://www.the-greatest-barbecue-recipes.com/north-carolina-barbecue-sauce-recipe.html

black eyed peas and hoecakes. I could eat 3 lbs of that right now.
>>6269816
my uncle feeds his pigs the donuts the bakery tosses because they are a day too old. makes the best fucking country ham. that and he cures it old school. in an open-air shed, in winter, shelves packed with kosher salt.

>>6269839

>>6269840

>black eyed peas and hoecakes

oh lawd

>>6269840

Now I want to try country ham on a donut. Tell your uncle he's a great man.

>>6269794
Plain roasted sweet potatoes

I eat them with everything but like it with strained clabber and beans.

>food you won't find north of the Mason Dixon

What year do you think it is? If you can't find or make any kind of food in the US then you're retarded and/or dirt poor. You can get fresh Maine lobster on the west coast for fucks sake.

Brunswick Stew's a decent one, hearty and smoky and best consumed with friends. The best recipes use small game meat or turkey and contain corn, butterbeans, tomatoes, okra, and whatever else is handy.

>>6269859
Aren't you supposed to use squirrel?

Hoppin John with Tabasco mhm

>>6269861

You can, but the problem with squirrel/opossum/raccoon meat is that they taste like whatever they've been eating. Most recipes for opossum call for it to be caught live and fed nothing but corn flakes and milk for at least ten days before slaughter. Squirrel would probably be good if it was taken near a cornfield or something, but I wouldn't trust one that came from a anywhere remotely suburban cus those ones have probably been digging through trash

Also for the unaware, good Opossum tastes a bit like pork teriyaki. Strongly recommend.

I got a question for you. What kind of flour are you supposed to use for biscuits?

>>6269880
Wheat and/or oat, you pleb

>>6269880

regular ol' white flour. Here's a good recipe:

http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/29/us/kentucky-doctors-warn-against-a-regional-dish-squirrels-brains.html

> Families that eat brains follow only certain rituals. ''Someone comes by the house with just the head of a squirrel,'' Dr. Weisman said, ''and gives it to the matriarch of the family. She shaves the fur off the top of the head and fries the head whole. The skull is cracked open at the dinner table and the brains are sucked out.'' It is a gift-giving ritual. The second most popular way to prepare squirrel brains is to scramble them in white gravy, he said, or to scramble them with eggs. In each case, the walnut-sized skull is cracked open and the brains are scooped out for cooking.

>These practices are not a matter of poverty, Dr. Berger said. People of all income levels eat squirrel brains in rural Kentucky and in other parts of the South.

God Bless America

anyone else here love them some Bojangles? Favorite fried chicken chain other than Zaxbys.

>>6269816
>peanut fed hogs

Noice. How does that ham taste?

Mudbugs.

>>6269925

heavenly. I had some of the good stuff sliced thin at a hotel function and it melted on my tongue like a piece of (pork flavored) cotton candy. It's very salty and a bit smoky but otherwise pretty unique, doesn't taste like prosciutto or any other ham I've had. I think the peanuts affect the fat content more than anything:

http://www.foodrepublic.com/2013/06/12/sam-edwards-tells-us-how-virginia-peanuts-are-key

>>6269948
That sounds very mane. I propose a cultural exchange between Italian prosciuttos (Including sud tiroler speck and lardo di colonnata) and souther muricans country hams. I'll be in charge of the prosciutto.

If you haven't had it, pepper jelly is something special. Goes great with cream or brie cheese on a cracker.

>>6269953
Should I look up a recipe or just buy some? I've actually always wanted to try it but somehow never have. I remember my dad having jalapeno jelly in the fridge when I was a kid

>>6269952

oh man I'd love to get my hands on some lardo, idk if it would survive shipping properly though (once it's been cut it needs to be refrigerated, and buying a whole ham can run int the hundreds of dollars)

>>6269960
I live in Southern Italy and I once went trekking in the alps. I bought some lardo d'arnaut in Valle d'Aosta and it was vacuum wrapped. It survived the long voyage back south just fine so I'd imagine he'd survive going to murka.

>>6269957

Haven't tried theirs but I've seen it at Trader Joe's paired with a jar of onion jam. You might give that a shot, I've never made it myself or preserves of any kind for that matter so I can't tell you if it's easy to make or not.

>>6269962

ah sorry, I was referring to the country ham possibly spoiling during shipping (I'm tired so my grammars not too good) but vacuum packing would probably solve that.

All this being said I don't know anything about shipping meat products internationally and what kind of restrictions there are or how long it would take / how much it would cost. I'm not sure I'm the guy you should ask, you might try reddit.com/r/snackexchange

Best barbecue chain I've ever eaten at.

>>6269983

actually you know what fuck it, I can probably do it but it'll take a few months before I can because I'm still looking around for a job back east (currently stuck in CA). Want to exchange emails?

>>6269990

going to bed, I'll probably be checking this thread tomorrow in 20 hours and we can try to exchange them then if you'd like.

>>6269946
^^^^^ What anon said ^^^^^
Fried okra's pretty hard to get here up north too.

It's not just finding the things, which in NYC I can, but the places that have that here are more or less touristy holes. Down south because there are more places that have it in the first place, the standard places will be a lot better than the best NYC places.

>>6270003
Well why not. My email is charlesbubba123@gmail.com. Time to become an international cured pork products smuggler.

I miss North Carolina so fucking much. I've never lived there, but my dad did in his early 20's, and my family spent a lot of time there when I was growing up. I have very fond memories of pulled pork, country ham, and gas station chicken biscuits. I think NC might be the greatest state in the union.

>>6269911
Greasy meh tier

>>6270011

sent.

looking forward to doing business (eventually)

>>6270036

NC is a great state, I've visited a few times and enjoyed it immensely. Cheer wine, barbecue, tobacco, muscadines, and chicken biscuits. People there like to take their time with things and never seem in a hurry.

>>6270051
It's fucking beautiful, too. From the mountains, to the plains, to the coast/islands, the scenery is utterly breathtaking.

>>6270064

The Outer Banks are rather pleasant

ITT: people cursed by the gods to not be a North Carolinian.

Fried catfish from the other night. I only had blue cornmeal but it turned out perfectly.

Peanut oil best frying oil

>>6269794

posted on the thread yesterday but just ordered a bunch of ansom mills stuff.

gonna make hoppin john, cornbread and just some regular oatmeal. maybe some polenta depending on how much meal i have.

>>6269911
>dat 2 litre of tea

Seriously, do you Americans have beverage with every meal?

>>6270980

every good meal, yeah. That arrangement is for like a family of 4.

also sweet tea is really refreshing in the summer when it's humid out.

>>6270990
This picture is fine. But why must you drink beverage during your meal?

>>6270990

>real life neckbeard

>>6271010
why would you not? it seems crazy not to honestly

Never had it, but it looks like scrapple which is the worst meat ever created.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHdXQAQHjd8

>>6271010
Because we're wealthy enough to afford one m8.

>>6270980
...The concept of not drinking with a meal is bizarre and alien.

>>6271074
I really hope you're not being ironic because that truly is a fantastic experience.

>>6271321

Why on earth would I be sarcastic about that? I'm going to do it while wearing my seersucker shorts and a polo. Mint, ice, and bourbon is the perfect remedy to a hot day.

don't mind me, best soda coming through

>>6271360
My nigga.

I can't believe that they don't sell this stuff retail where I live; I only ever got to taste it when I picked up grab bag of weird sodas from a ranch supply store. God tier drinking.

>>6271349
>Why on earth would I be sarcastic about that?

This is 4chan. Some people, I'm sure, would appreciate a mint julep for taste, but add in the porch thing as a plantation reference because

>front porch sittin
>mint julep
>watchin my boys
>haha niggers

eh. but yeah. I just wanted to clarify and make sure someone else knew that's not what a mint julep is about

fuck me now I want one, even though it's 20 degrees outside now. Brrr

>>6271360
Kroger at the Plaza here in Memphis sells that since they remodeled. It's pretty good. I still prefer Dr Pepper as my soda of choice.

>>6269870

Corn flakes? That's not proper for an opposum to eat

>>6271395

opossums have short lives, they can eat whatever they want.

One time my dad smashed an opossum's skull with a 2x4

Favorite bbq place? I was pretty smitten with Cozy Corner last time I was there

gonna try making sweet potato biscuits tomorrow with this recipe

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/sweet-potato-biscuits-recipe.html

>>6271372

porch sittin is a favorite past time of mine.

Current weather's perfect though for a jar of warm apple pie moonshine while huddled around the stove.

>>6271435
Central BBQ on Central Ave.
They just do it well, and its pretty consistent.

Nothing else tastes as good to me, and Rendezvous a shit because it's nothing but bland food, bad service, snobby attitude, and an old name.

Neely's is pretty good, too. Actually. But everything they do I think Central does better.

There's this place out in G'town called Commodore, I think. I can't remember the name. Ate there once, pretty okay for being in the burbs.

So yeah, central is the best for me. Although I haven't had coleslaw from anywhere that wasn't too black peppery, or vinegary. I like my slaw thick, sweet, and slightly creamy.

Never been to Cozy Corner, or heard of it. Whereabouts is it? I'm not a native, but I have lived for ten years.

>>6271466

I wasn't that impressed with Rendezvous either, but Cozy Corner is a slice of heaven. It's off North Parkway and Manassas. I'll try Central next time I'm in town.

>>6269953
Aww shit, we have this amazing old woman who makes jams and jellies at the local farmers market. Best one is her jalapeno peach jelly. I could eat the entire jar with cream cheese and crackers.

fuck me too bad nobody outside of maryland can cook a half-edible crab cake, even in-season

god damn that looks good

>>6271516
Hey I know where that is. Cool. I'll check it out someday.

We just recently had "One and Only" open up next to the Macy's on Poplar, right by the tracks. I think that's Mendenhall? I can't remember. Need to go check it out. Was going to, but it was getting late and my gf was hungry and nervous and thought the place looked skeevy (even though it's right next to the mall and a Chili's and a whole upscale shopping center) Oh well.

the original Central is on Central between E Parkway and Cooper, on the south side of the street. There's one on Summer, too. It's usually not as busy, and when they're on point, it's GOOD, but OG Central is way more consistent and still realy good.

>>6271259
nah, liver pudding and liver mush are about the same thing and an acquired taste. scrapple is shit. Neese's sausage is the best manufacture breakfast sausage you can find.

>>6269794
Yeah I'm from Alabama and this shit would blow minds around here.

>Mfw I'm trying to eat healthy and I live in the heart of dixie

>>6270980
First off, thats a half-gallon, sir. Second off, yes it's the first thing they ask you when you go to a restaurant. In fact if I don't have a drink within 5 minutes, you're probably not gonna get a tip.

Or do you eurofags not believe in tipping either?

>>6272015
eurofags always tip their tranny S&M masters. Waiters, not so much.

>>6269953
pepper jelly with cream cheese on an everything bagel is a great way to start the day.

>>6270149
My family does a fish fry every year. We always catch a bunch of catfish and crappie and fry them up with along with some hush puppies, then get drunk. The south can be fun sometimes.

>>6271554

oh Cozy Corner is super skeevy, the buildings across the street from it are condemned and the ceiling panels are falling down. That said it's the best barbecue I've had.

This is a really good value, I got a fifth from Total Wine for $25 and it's a touch better than Buffalo Trace.

>>6270086

Everybody here in M10 talks about it like it's a godsend and I just don't get it.

Of course, I'm from Louisiana originallly, so for me it's all about catfish, white bass, and brim from the Sabine. Ohhhh yeah

fucking rotgut but used to be all me and the guys could afford. we'd get a plastic handle between four of us, get fucked off our rockers, get sick, then do it again the next day

I do not miss it.

>>6272390
I don't know about that. I think Texas does brisket better, but that comes down to personal preference.

>>6272432
that's because Texas IS brisket.

This "three states" thing. I'm not really following.

Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri... that's already more than three.

>>6272428

the single barrel is legit good though. their regular stuff is trash though.

Pro tip: don't buy bourbon that comes with a screw cap.

>>6272451
>four roses
I love that stuff
I mix it with dr pepper. I'm a bad man.

and thanks on the tip. I might have to check out the Single Barrel now. Although lately I've been drinking Woodford Reserve when it comes to Bourbon.

Also on the cheap, I like W L Weller Rye. I think that's what it was. I finsihed it off a long time ago and never got any more.

I feel like y'all ain't about this life

Nigga no frog legs? No lotus seeds? No pawpaws? No beignets? No etouffe or poboys?

So it's true, the south ends and begins in Louisiana.

>>6272464

Woodford tastes fantastic but it's almost too smooth. I like something with a little more bite.

>>6272472
maybe that's why I like it.

>>6272469

Cajun country is great but I'll be damned if I let a bunch of mackerel-snapping papists determine the culture of the entire region.

>>6272485
Nobody in Louisiana likes the Baptists. Not even the Baptists. lol

>>6272485
...there is no such thing as cajun country, that was a marketing term created by CODOFIL.

In my community all the old people still say Cajun is an insult and that we were never to use it "it meant white trash cher. We come from many people, acadians were not sent to desolate places and we rarely outnumbered everyone else"

>>6272491
Northshore was them majority wise, still is pretty sure.

>>6272491
The fact that you don't what the word "papist" means and confused it with the word "baptist" leads me to believe that you are poorly educated and profoundly uncultured.

>>6272514
sorry anon. I misread. I have minor dislexia and discalculia (fuck me I dont know how to spell those two words. too lazy to look it up) getting worse as I get older. I never used to have those problems that bad, outside of confusing b's and d's which I think every kid does at some point, right?

My comment still stands, though.

>>6272514

You guys are dumb, he is saying he doesn't like the Catholic culture of Louisiana dominating the cultural landscape and pushing others under the rug figuratively ofcourse

Papist is slur for Catholics, he is a protestant.

>>6272445
Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri are the main three.

This was the dinner I made, I'm from the south, and don't suspect you're going to see a bone off pork country style rib with spicey creole rootbeer gravy(also braising base) and jalapeño cream cheese grits.

Southern food looks tasty.

Is it possible to find ingredients for southern food outside the U.S? Say in Australia?

Pimento Cheese. Sometimes I will even mix some in my biscuit dough before baking, but just spread on sandwich is mighty fine too.

>>6272575
Over the last few months I've been teaching a person from Australia how to cook Southern US food and she hasn't had much trouble finding stuff.

>>6272575
Can you find grits, sassafras leaf, fresh lotus seed, snapping turtle, catfish, terrappin, muscadine, pawpaw (not what you call a papaya the other pawpaw) or frog legs?

Most posters are talking about luxury foods for Sunday dinners or holidays, I tend to like the folk foods of bayou people.

>>6272514

Louisiana has the largest concentration of catholics in the South. You're a dumbass.

>>6272548

thanks for that. Episcopal master faith.

>>6272542
Gumbo goes on top of rice

Your point post was still correct even if you didn't mean it to be. I'm the first to recognize the Catholic culture of Louisiana dominates the region, Northshore/Florida Parishes before Katrina being the exception that comes to mind.

>>6272598
Stop posting Pierre, you're fucked up.

The cuisine of South Louisiana is ultra-specialized sub-genre of Southern cooking. Now fax me an Abita beer and some tasso ham.

crawfish mac n cheese A-OK. Shrimp and grits with cheese? NO. And not just because I'm allergic to shrimp.

Shrimp and grits without cheese i guess would be passable...

I like cubing andouille and cooking it up with some black beans and green onion, putting it on top of grits with gouda and a little bit of aged gruyere. it's simple. fast. good.

Pumpkin biscuits exist too, omit the sugar from the dough though and just put a smear of honey on it after it's baked.

What kind of BBQ does Texas make? BBQ requires pork, and we ain't talking about a few bones with some sketchy bits of meat on them.

>>6272881
No, Texas food is not considered Southern for the purpose of food.
They consider BBQ to be made of beef, they make a nasty milk gravy with nary a sausage in it, and consider it tasty. Their biscuits are fail.

>>6272881
Easy. Where it stops being green is where it turns to Texmex.
>>6272905
It's a very early offshoot of franco-Caribbean cuisine with a primarily Wolof and Senegambian influence mixed with the reality of frontier swamp land a relatively temperate climate.

>>6272905
Texas makes barbecue using beef. I'm from NC and even I'm not so autistic to realize that different places call different things by similar names.

>>6272958
You must be a transplant or from the Triangle.
Any true Southerner genetically knows that BBQ is pork. And any North Carolinian knows that sauce is something that is served separate from the actually BBQ, and that white slaw is the only real slaw.

Actually no. That was me. I'm from Shreveport. I love Creole and Cajun food, but suffice it to say, for purposes of assuming it is the "Cajun Epicenter", New Orleans has some cultural problems...

Sorry about the New Orleans jab. It's got a lot going on, but it leaves a LOT to be desired.

>>6270087

>>6273978
I agree. Not enough beans at all. But that shit just plain don't look right. And who the hell puts they rice IN the beans? Beans go on top if you're "poor", rice scoop on top if you're "fancy"

Plus, I don't see no cornbread. Or green onions on top.

youre the real rednecks

>>6273999
LOL nah

It's this old institution in Memphis. Two locations. One downtown, one in East Memphis.

It's good shit. Slaw and beans are plain, but the chicken is always massive, juicy, with a thick spicy crust, and that shit stays steaming for dayyyys. Like, I fucking hate getting chicken to go and by the time I eat it it's fucking lukewarm, or worse, already cold.

>>6273992

Rice in the beans in the pan was bothering me as well, I was just too lazy to post it. While the rice scoop on top is fancy, I just mix it together anyway.

Also, where are my crawfish bros at? Western Louisiana need not apply, why the fuck would you put spices on top of the shells?

>>6271449

how are those biscuits comin along?

>>6274026
I mean yaeh you mix that shit up with the cornbread, but you gotta plate it up separate in the bowl.

Nigger I'm Northwest LA, the fuck you talking about spices on top?

We throw that shit in the pot with the spices, taters, onions, and corn. That spice is ERRYWHERE.

Shane's Acadiana Crawfish is the BEST crawfish in the fucking country. Better than any mudbroth I ever had South of Alexandria

>>6274041

Sorry to lump you in with the heathens. My sister lived in Lafayette for a few years, and she said they don't spice the boil but they put spice on top. At least that's what I hear.

>>6274026
I so much want to try this once but you southern folk frighten me

>>6274069
try what?

crawfish or beans n rice?

>>6274069

>>6274017
9/10 you almost had me for a second

>>6274075
crawfish boil

>>6274094
soo... why are you scared?

all you do is pinch, twist, pull, peel the first rib, pinch the tip of the tail, slide the meat out, put it in your mouth, suck the hole in the head for the spice, chew it up. Do that a few more times and you're good.

Oh and don't eat the one's with straight tails. They were dead before they went to boil and will taste like dirt flavored rubber.

>>6274105
>why are you scared?
of the people not the mud bugs

>>6274110
Why would you be eating seafood with strangers?

>>6274094
You can do it yourself, its not very hard. Substitute the crawfish for shrimp and its a low country boil. Would turn it into a Coastal Georgia/SC kind of dish but the same concept.

>>6274114
I don't want to talk to you anymore

>>6274110
I got that. But why?

We may seem weird, but I guarantee Louisiana is probably the most hospitable place in the country. Especially at a Crawfish boil.

>>6274118
I can't find crayfish around here (northern MI).
I bought some traps last year and tried catching some in my lake and caught only one tiny one.

>>6274133
Frozen crawfish (American farmed ONLY) are pretty reliable but if you a novice to the mudbug I can understand why you might not want to do it. Low Country boils with shrimp are easy for anyone to do and you get nearly the same experience eating seafood and drinking beer outside with your bros. Feel free to throw in some mussels as well, its a great thing to do at parties or for football games. Great way to feed 6-300 people without much hassle, just dump the boil on a table and get out of the way.

Anyone else here love these?

>>6274144
are those the jujubees?

Shit was invented in Harlem, bruh.

Fried chicken is southern as hell, but that combo has Yankee roots

>>6274428

do you even Chesapeake?

As a yankee I fucking love southern food. All that fried shit. The best place to get real southern food in the north is in ghettos tho and that sucks.

>>6274474

huh, I thought it was from Baltimore.

>>6274026
Boss, as a native eastern Texan, I can tell you I've never seen or heard of anyone spicing the crawfish after the boil. I think your sister just knew some dumbasses.

Man. Houston rodeo cookoff just started. Just drive anywhere within a few miles of the stadium and get bombarded with the lovely scents of smoking meat.
Holy shit, I need brisket now.

Brisket is shitty. I've had it at Arthur Bryant's in KC and at Burns Original in Houston, and it just tasted like shitty dry pot roast each time.

>>6274524
hhnnngggg

>>6274532

they're so good

best barbecue sides? I'm not a huge fan of slaw.

>>6274564
you've been eating the wrong kind of slaw

>>6274569

I dislike mayonnaise, I think that kinda prevents me from enjoying it.

>>6274618
>>6274564
I like chipotle slaw for that reason, but it's a Texas thing. The mayo is drowned out by other flavors.

>>6274618
If you make it right, it shouldn't taste "like mayonnaise"

Slaw is better with green/white cabbage, not red.

I've never particularly like mustard or vinegar slaw. I like mine to be sweet, tangy, a bit creamy, and black peppery

I usually make mine with a bit of mayo, some milk (just enough) to thin it out, lemon juice, sugar, black pepper, and that's it. Just enough to coat the cabbage and the carrots, not more. and a pinch of salt to taste, but not too much, because you have to let it sit and the flavors marry. If you add too much salt it will bring out the moisture and you get a soggy mess.

Maryland's the only Southern state which has actually been ruined by Yankees.

Virginia's filled with NoVa trash but they stick to their bubble around DC and bring in a lot of money so I'm not complaining too much.

Lol at southerners complaining about northerners. That is like niggers complaining about crackers ruining the ghetto.

I am from NY living in PA and I like both. Fuck you cunts are racist.

Long Island is one of the most segregated areas in the country, and NY has the most segregated schools in the country. Also the North protested desegregation just as hard as the South.

>>6275205
Maryland was "southern" in like 1850.

It's been awhile.

Virginia is trash, NC is becoming trash, Georgia is still good outside ATL. Alabama is fine, Mississippi is sadly southern, and Louisiana is it's own thing.

SC is southern, but it's totally inbred.

Georgia is hick as fuck and your cops are the fattest and stupidest I've ever met. They made me pour out an unopened 1.75L of Woodford I had in my backseat during a traffic stop because it was an "open container" and I didn't argue it with them because he had his hand on his gun the whole time.

>>6275529

I'm an okay cook, but I can never do location-specific foods nearly as good as the 'authentic' cooks and I wouldn't want to ruin my expectations by screwing up all the foods.

Also, the South looks like a cool place to visit, it's like Hollywood has been hiding an entire half of the States away from the world, and now that a bit more people travel there everybody seems to love it.

Shame I only get 90 days of visa waiver travel. I'd love to spend a full year messing around the States, but getting a visa is a nightmare.

>>6276836
>I'm an okay cook, but I can never do location-specific foods nearly as good as the 'authentic' cooks and I wouldn't want to ruin my expectations by screwing up all the foods.

That's understandable and I have close to the same attitude. Anytime I want to try something that's very new to me I'll spend a bit and go to a nice restaurant that serves it to see how it's done properly before attempting. I hope your visit goes well and remember to try to ask around on /ck/ or other sites the best restaurants and foods to have. The South especially thrives when you find great joints with a lot of history and tradition rather than just some expensive tourist restaurant. Local BBQ festivals are also a great bet.

While the patients could have contracted the disease from eating beef and not squirrels, there has not been a single confirmed case of mad cow disease in the United States, Dr. Weisman said.
The whole science is thrown out here. There are plenty of confirmed cases. And, the reason there aren't more, is that hospitals know you can't autoclave off the CJD when you do brain biopsies, so they simply won't confirm cases. It is too risky to their equipment.

can't wait for summer so I can do some pig pickin

>>6278974
>>6278982
As far as the Monte Cristo goes, I thought it was Irish in nature since they've had the damn thing for years at Bennigan's before they went under. Additionally, I've seen it around Dallas, TX in various small Irish chains like Trinity Hall. Of couse Cheddar's also serves this heart attack of a sandwich.

my East Texan gf is making me post fried okra

>>6278974
I'm from the south, so is my dad but he lived in California for awhile. When I was about 21/22, he bought a small fryer and taught me how to make those.
I got so fucking fat because I'd eat them all the time. He said they were from Cali but he was wrong about a lot of things so I don't know.

the food and the daiquiris in a fucking Styrofoam cup make me wish i was still in the south. I am California now, but goddamn I wish I was still in the south.

Why not make your own daiquiris and pour them in styrofoam cups?

Speaking of daiquiris, that reminds me of a story: I was at a bar once and some buzzed cunt was having a hissy fit that the martini glass his daiquiri was in was too girly. The bartender asked him "you want me to funnel it in to a PBR can?"

I don't know why, but that story is way funnier to me than it probably should be

It is, but its not nearly as respected in the US and mostly unknown outside it. Southern cuisine is foreign to most Americans; Northerners tend not to travel down here.

>>6269794
>Sweet potato biscuits are a favorite of mine, they're basically just regular biscuits but with mashed sweet potatoes mixed into the dough with a pinch of molasses. They go well with cured ham, mustard, and honey for a pleasant breakfast or appetizer.
They go very well with some red pepper jam too! And about the only thing that is good with apple butter.
