Okay, folks, she really is a Southerner. At least it looks that way from
up here in the normally not-so-frozen North (3 degrees right now!). I
assume the cornbread is white and sans sugar (I'm gonna get flak for
even mentioning this, I'm sure, but she _did_ say she'd been born a
Y...I mean in the North) and your proper pronunciation of Dixie Nectar
is duly noted.

My point is only that a number of the foods you mention are simply
American. I wonder, though, if I've been failing to distinguish between
urban and rural South?
