Ten Things


This month I thought I would focus on one of my favorite subjects...food and not just any food but the food that means home and memories to me. Food that I crave and enjoy to this day. I could have had a very long list but it being Ten Things day I forced myself to choose just ten of the ones I love. I give you...

TEN TRULY SOUTHERN FOODS


Banana Pudding



Boiled Peanuts



Collard Greens



Country Ham Biscuits



Eastern North Carolina Barbecue



Fried Chicken


Grits






Pimento Cheese


Tomato Sandwich


This post is part of Shimelle's TEN THINGS blogging event that takes place on the tenth of each month. Our only direction is whatever we post about it must be ten, not 9, not 11, TEN. To see what others' have chosen for their TEN this month head over to www.shimelle.com (as of 7:15am EDSt Shimelle's post has not gone live but through my Reader I have been able to checkout a dozen Ten Things. They are awesome, so if the Shimelle link doesn't take you to her Ten Things post be sure to check back to this post at a later time to try it and click on the links shown in Shimelle's post.)   I hope your day is a glorious TEN!

  2. Lots of those things are totally new to me! It's great to see foods that are typical of a certain area and I shall certainly be checking a few of them out to see what I am missing (especially that banana pudding!)

  3. I'm from the North so some of those foods are not common up here, but they do look yummy! I'm guessing none of those dishes will be featured on your lighten up blog hop. :) You gotta love comfort food!

  7. Hi Beverly. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your list of ten. I used to live in SC and miss many of the wonderful foods you have listed. I still eat grits (preferably with shrimp), but don't get to eat pimento cheese unless I make it myself. It's not available in the midwest.
