Thanks, Bill! A good prompt to work with.

Now I'm craving southern cooking! Baked beans and brown bread don't hold a candle to all those delicacies you've described. If I ever get a chance to go on a road trip like that, I'll jump on it! 😁

Fried pies are like a combo of instant nirvana and instant death. honestly, i had to quit eating them years ago, although they taste like magic.

I used to love deep-fried food in my youth (I still would, if I could!), but my gallbladder gave up on me in my mid-twenties. Since it went, I have to watch the amount of fatty food I eat - I can't digest the stuff properly anymore, so if I eat too much, I get massive belly cramps. But a couple bites won't hurt. 😁

Nice, pb. Those ‘Throwed Rolls’ are pretty tasty and I’m always game for a roadside peach fritter.
