Thought I'd ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world

(Also I shouldn't have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I've seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we're global users)

I am from the southeast US. I don't necessarily believe any of these dishes are unique to my area, but I really enjoy them.

  1. Grits. Sort of like oatmeal but corn. There are plenty of ways to make it, some make it sweet, some make it savory, some do a little of both. Shrimp and grits is a popular dish, but I think it's more associated with Louisiana specifically.
  2. Divinity. A very rich, sugary treat. I haven't had many chances to have this, but it's very good. It's the sort of treat I associate with big family dinners on Thanksgiving from family members who "haven't seen [me] since [I] was this big" who have long since passed away.
  3. Reindeer Mix and Diddly Doos. These are two winter treats my family makes. I don't believe they're local dishes or anything, but because my mom makes them I do consider them cultural. Reindeer Mix is essentially home made Chex Mix you mix a few forms of Chex cereals with other ingredients and drizzle a savory sauce over it and bake it. Tastes best warm. Diddly Doos are basically cheese biscuit/crackers. Think "cheese straw" but shaped in a disk. I think some people call them cheese doodles.

Pimento cheese dip is another southern classic.

True, but I hate it lol.

Well there's no accounting for taste, I suppose. Hmm.

How about pecan pie?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

I didn't think it was uniquely southern, I thought they had it in the north too.
