Hi! @RoseMillsOhio here. I'm a displaced Southerner (home state NC and 15 yrs in TN), and my hands-down, absolute, without a doubt, forever favorite Southern food is pecan pie.

Posted by: Rose in Ohio | 10/08/2010 at 08:43 AM

Oh my favorite is banana pudding. No contest! @opkitchen

Posted by: Erin @ One Particular Kitchen | 10/08/2010 at 08:52 AM

I was raised by a true Southern cook so it is hard to pick a favorite dish, but banana puddin' is the first one that comes to mind. Oh - and cornmeal fried okra.
