I consider myself fairly food-adventurous and well versed in food offerings from around the world. So I was surprised when I recognized only one food from this list:
I tend to steer clear of heavy foods and a lot of Southern foods are that, but I don’t think I’ve even been offered anything from @Dr_Paprika’s list except pimento cheese. I wouldn’t have the vaguest idea where to find any of it to try it, except to visit the South or attempt to make it myself. I’m not especially inclined to make either effort.
I suppose we all have our blind spots.
