Answer 2

An example of a traditional Southern meal is deep fried chicken, field peas, turnip or collard greens, cornbread, sweet tea and a dessert that could be a pie (sweet potato, pecan and peach are traditional southern pies), or a cobbler (peach, blackberry or mixed berry are traditional cobblers).

Some other foods commonly associated with the South are mint juleps, pecan pie, pulled pork, country ham, chicken fried steak, grits, buttermilk biscuits, especially with gravy or sorghum, pimento cheese, sweet tea, pit barbecue, catfish, fried green tomatoes, cornbread, bread pudding, fried chicken, okra, butter beans, pinto beans, "greens", and black eyed peas. A common snack food, in season, is boiled peanuts.

Fried chicken is among the region's best-known exports, though pork is also an integral a part of the cuisine, with Virginia ham being one renowned form. Barbecue is always understood to be pork, unless specified as some other meat, and there are many regional "cookoff" competitions. A traditional holiday get-together featuring whole hog barbecue is known in the Carolinas as a "pig pickin'." Green beans are often flavored with bacon and salt pork, biscuits served with ham often accompany breakfast, and ham with red-eye gravy or country gravy is a common dinner dish. A bit of fatback is added to many vegetable dishes, especially greens, for flavoring.

Beans and Greens. Turnip greens

Ranch Fried Chicken Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 to 3 lbs frying chicken, cut up
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt -- or to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, Freshly ground -- or to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
vegetable oil -- for frying

Directions:
1. Wash chicken pieces thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Place chicken in a long, shallow glass baking dish.
3. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for a least 4 hours, turning once or twice. In a clean plastic or brown paper bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and onion powders.
4. Drain the chicken and place two or three pieces of chicken in the bag and shake well to coat evenly.
5. Repeat until all chicken has been coated with seasoned flour mixture. In a large, heavy skillet, heat about one-half of oil over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking.
6. Add chicken (in batches if necessary) and brown on all sides, about three minutes per side. Place browned chicken on a warm platter until all pieces are cooked.
7. When all the chicken pieces are browned, crowd them into the skillet, turn heat to medium-low, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, about 35-40 minutes.
8. Remove cover, turn heat to medium-high and cook six to eight minutes more or until skin is crispy.
9. Serve at once. Serves 4.
