Okra rolled in cornmeal and fried until crispy brown. None of that breaded stuff like you see at restaurants or in the store. (We are growing okra in the garden even now.)
Also in the south you wave at oncoming cars. You wave at your neighbors when you see them. And you never gawk with your mouth open at people who wave at you, you wave back!
You make chick'n N dumplin's for people who are sick. Not those flat noodle kind of dumplin's, puffy doughy dumplins.
You are kind and nice to your neighbors. But if they get your dander up, they'd better look out! And if they get you plum riled up, it's on like chickens on a june bug!
Southerners are kind and generous to a fault. But cross them or be dishonest (dishonesty is a cardinal sin, don't lie or cheat us, you'll be caught, don't even try it) and you'll forever have the stigma and you'll never be trusted again.
