Not all of us "Damn Yankees" (I was born in NY so I guess I qualify)
are so ignorant of the foods of the American South.
Grits, sweet potato biscuits, real barbecue (in its multitude of
forms), chess pie, collard greens, mustard greens and a whole host of
other Southern items are quite familiar to me.
In fact, I specialize in Cajun and Creole cuisines. Yes I know those
aren't "Southern" in the sense you are thinking, but they are also
widely misinterpreted outside of their native areas. I have had the
pleasure and privilege to learn these styles in Louisiana from people
raised in those traditions and I think they are worthy food ways to maintain.
