Southern Foods We Can’t Get Enough Of

Southern food is evocative. It makes us remember. Before we tell you how a Southern food taste, we must tell you how it makes us feel and who it reminds us of.

Southern food is a melting pot of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans and changes slightly from region to region. Southern cooks hunted, gathered, grew, and cultivated our indigenous foods. It evolved over time.

“In practically every good and lasting memory any Southerner holds — of family and friends, of home and countryside, of school and church, of joyful and even solemn occasions — food is there, working through all the senses to leave a powerful and permanent impression.” J Egerton
