Southern things I enjoy most:

[ul]  
[li]Manners are expected at all times, in all situations. Yes Sir, No Mam, Please, Thank You[/li][li]Hot, buttery grits and cathead biscuits with homemade muscidine jelly[/li][li]Crispy fried fish for supper that were swimming this morning, served with piping hot hush puppies, cold potato salad and baked beans[/li][li]Icey cold watermelon, sprinkled with a bit of salt, on a hot August afternoon[/li][li]Hot boiled crawfish boiled with spicy new potatoes and corn on the cob, all washed down with either a cold beer or Dr. Pepper that is so cold it’s just on the brink of being slushy[/li][li]Line dried towels, sheets and blue jeans … the smell is divine.[/li][/ul]
