I have a copy of a Cook’s Illustrated magazine focused on food from states like Georgia and Alabama. This type of food is hard to find in Canada. While I’m sure you can get anything in a big city, I’m not sure how popular it is outside its namesake region. Yes, Nashville fried chicken with cayenne spicing, barbecue with fixings and pulled meat are fairly popular everywhere. But a lot of the dishes I didn’t know. How many of these dishes do you know?

1. Carolina Chicken Bog
2. Natchitoches Meat Pie
3. Carne Guisada
4. Jezebel Sauce
5. Comeback Sauce
6. Shrimp Perloo
7. Kolaches
8. Pimento Cheese
9. Thoroughbred Pie
10. Lane Cake
11. Strawberry Sonker

Just seeing if most folks don’t know these, or just me.
