What is YOUR favorite........considered Southern.........recipe

I'll admit this is an acquired taste, but when I lived in the South I fell for frozen fruit salad. Never had it until I lived in that region.

Total Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients:

1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese

4 T. milk

6 T. sugar

1 medium can crushed pineapple

2 small cans fruit cocktail

1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries

1 pt. whipping cream, whipped

dash salt

1 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Drain fruits, mix softened cream cheese, milk and sugar. Add drained fruits and nuts. Fold in whip cream and freeze until solid.

I love corn bread cooked in an iron skillet, crust, not the cakey kind, no sugar, no bacon fat. Would love to have a tried and true recipe. No point in listing mine. It never comes out right.

NOT being a smart aleck, but just wondering what is considered a "northern" recipe?

I think I'd have to choose fried chicken. I'm not a southerner, but I love southern food. I don't know that I have a favorite recipe for it, but marinating it in buttermilk sure helps. and I crisp it up in oil then pop it into the oven to finish cooking.

hmmm.... yankee = baked beans, maybe. my favorite Southern recipe is my granny's milk cake with whipped cream and strawberries. i'd give the recipe if i could find it, but i got organized and we all know what that means - lol

If you copy something off the web or out of Word, you can paste it into MS NotePad and it will remove the funky formatting that makes it hard to read. Then just copy and paste it from Notepad into the forums. Here's what this looks like when I do that. Notepad in Windows is usually located in All Programs --> Accessories --> Notepad.
