Southern Food Appreciation Thread

[gomestar]



Not really a Southern specific complaint but since this is the food thread I am in. When will people finally accept that tilapia is disgusting? So that store store will stop selling it.

soccer moms in flyover country need a cheap white fish that they can serve their budding family for self satisfaction. At $6 a pound, there you have tilapia.

It will never go away.

Sadly I know you are right. I think catfish is many times better for that purpose tho.

Maine is New Englands Southern state.

My wife and her family...wow..... the food is so Southern. I didn't really get a full grasp of it until after we were married. All the women are just incredible cooks - and my mother-in-law is one of six children. And she's got cousins with farms, beehives, ranches, fishing boats, etc.... so the big meals - Thanksgiving and Christmas - would do Trimalchio proud. Field peas, collards, mustards, fresh grouper, apalachicola oysters, quail (not a fan), prime rib, fried chicken, mac and cheese with bacon, three kinds of cobbler, something called buttermilk pie, pimento cheese, it's amazing.

I grew up with feasts like this for the holidays and special occasions. My mom and other relatives are good cooks, and cook a lot. Lots of good food for every meal.

I don't eat that way now, and I'm actually glad I don't.

Top one is buttermilk-brined fried chicken, bacon garlic brussels sprouts and deep friend potatoes
Bottom one is slow cooked ribs. I used a blue ribbon winning spice rub and let the ribs sit for 16 hours in saran wrap . Now they are not burnt that's from the amount of brown sugar in the rub and me placing it right above the flame for 5 minutes.

This thread should be alive.

I've always loved Southern food, though I've never been. Any weigh-ins on where I can find the best biscuits and gravy and chicken and dumplings? Gimme a region and hopefully it won't come to fisticuffs.
