| Strictly speaking, any type of southern cuisine can be served as an appetizer. Wander into any home and your hosts will offer everything in the house that hasn't already been eaten. I know that I could live off the tasty fare served at drop-ins, soirees, receptions, and other parties. |

| The main course of the meal is a particularly enjoyable experience in the south. Our lengthy history and diverse heritage provide an amazing palette of taste and flavor that makes your entree the sparkling centerpiece of any meal. |

| Southerners are lucky! Fresh fruits and vegetable are available nearly year-round from roadside stands in this balmy climate. Fresh tomatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, vidalia onions, peanuts, cucumbers--the list of fresh veggies I remember from my childhood--and crave in my adulthood--is nearly endless. |

|
| Every family has indulgent recipes of sweetness that conjure memories of seasonal gatherings and a better time--a time we could all eat half a pie or twelve homemade cookies without worrying about the long-term effects. We are allowed to return, from time-to-time, to the caloric abandon of our youth. |

|
| Breads, sauces, and beverages are all important meal components that southerners include in their personal recipe repertoires. Nearly any food item can be made into southern treat! |
