Banana pudding is the perfect summer dessert. You can't be a true Southern woman until you can make homemade banana pudding. I'm weird though. I love it but I hate bananas so I always spit my out, lol. Real classy, I know.
OMG! This is my favorite breakfast meat. Some people may call it liver pudding but here we call it livermush. I eat mine with ketchup but others may choose mayo or mustard. It makes a yummy sandwich too.
The sign says it all; Yummy chicken and biscuits. And boy are they! Bojangles also has the best sweet tea around. Besides momma's of course. My personal favs from these guys are the Cajun fillet biscuit (spicy and delicious) or the mac and cheese and dirty rice with a biscuit.
Nothing makes food taste better than Dukes Mayonnaise. When my cousin moved to California he made us mail him this because you can't find it out there. This is the only REAL mayo.
Mallo Cups are my favorite candy. They look like Reese's Cups but are filled with creamy marshmallow and coconut goodness. If you have never had one then let me know and I can mail you a pack. They are the best!
Of course I had to mention my personal favorite: Sundrop. I choose to drink the diet version of this soft drink but it is just as good. It also comes in a Cherry Lemon version that is really good too. This drink was actually created and still produced in the county I was born and live in. I'm pretty sure you can get it in both Carolina's now but outside of that its pretty hard to find.
What are some of your favorite southern goodies? Or if your not from the south I would love to hear what your favorite local foods are.

You forgot Cheerwine! I don't really love it, but I remember moving away from CLT when I was younger and my dad being in a depression that he couldn't find it anywhere to drink. Everytime we came for a visit we had to stock up and take it home with us.
Ok, I'm drooling. That candy looks awesome, I've never had it. And the soda...Cherry Lemon? YUM! Where do you live? And I've always wondered, what is SOUTH of the Mason Dixon line?
YUMMM!!!! Love banana pudding and livermush!! Not together of course...I love my livermush nice and crispy on the outside. Now I want some!!!
Let's see, I also love cornbread and fried green tomatoes!!!! :)
Dale's Steak Sauce...an Alabama favorite! You have me on the livermush...is that the same as scrapple? I would also like to put a vote in for okra!
My husband eats Bojangles EVERY single day! And they do have the most fantastic sweet tea... if it ain't sweet, I don't want it!!
OMGoodnes - have you tried Paula Deen's banana pudding? Delish. And I don't love the bananas either.
My husband and in-laws do not get the obsession with Duke's mayo, as much as I've tried to explain it to them. Just something about it.
Oh, what a great post! I love banana pudding. I am making a few batches this weekend to bring to a crawfish boil. Have you ever tried Cheerwine? It's a cheery cola, we used to get it when we went to summer camp in NC.
Oh what a fun post. I am from the south, but have not had many of those things. I guess I need to come and visit you!
YUM! Banana Pudding & Sun-Drop, two of my favorite food items ever!
So, Mallo Cups are good? Been afraid to try them!
And, Cherry Lemon Sundrop is the BEST! And, it's a luxury reserved to such a small geographical area ~ I've been known to ask a friend from Stanly County to bring me a 12 pack.
Great list,and thanks for sharing!
