Ooh, I forgot about fried okra. I haven't made that in a million years. I used to love fried okra.

I like cornbread too, like others here, but never really considered it a southern thing.

Favorite MIGHT be fried crappie (it's a fish!)!

Favorite meal: field peas (NOT black-eyed peas) with some bacon or ham in them, cornbread, sliced tomatoes and fried okra, with unsweet tea and watermelon for dessert. Corn on the cob would be a welcome addition to the meal.

Well kiss my grits.

ONLY if they are artisan, stone ground, heritage, organic, non-gmo grits will I be kissing them, thank you very much!

Barbeque (from Bob's Barbeque in Butner, NC), hushpuppies, collard greens, turnip greens and cornbread... And their coleslaw and fried apples... You can't beat this... Wish I had some right now, but it's about 85 miles from where I live... Oh, I almost forgot - my Mama's homemade Brunswick Stew..

sounds like the perfect meal to me..... I love field peas....add a piece of buttermilk fried chicken and that's heaven!

I echo someone else...hardly a Southern comfort food I don't like!

As far as restaurant food...I love Cracker Barrel's Sampler Dinner platter: Country ham, meatloaf, chicken dumplings, mashed potatoes w/gravy, hash brown casserole, and turnip greens. (That's what I get...can you say "Carbs and Calories"??!!!) And on top of that, they bring those wonderful, fluffy biscuits! Oh my...I bring at least half of it home for the next day!!

I'm definitely an Eastern NC barbecue fan.....Parker's BBQ in Wilson is the best! Bring on the cornsticks and sweet tea!

Boy, I think I just gained some weight thinking about all that...it's a good thing I don't eat that way all the time!
