I wouldn't pick on a people that eat boiled bacon or put milk in their tea,
but you forgot: Southern Fried Chicken, Hushpuppies, black-eyed peas,
cornbread,Tennese Walkers, and gooood whisky, amoung other things.

I have eaten alligator, undercooked frog's legs, escargots and duck's feet.
However, as a foreign observer in the tradition of those horrified
Victorian visitors to the Americas I would have said being able to eat and
enjoy (if that is possible) grits, biscuits and gravy for breakfast without
feeling unwell was the true sign of a southerner. Back to my marmite toast.

 Have archaeologists dealt with the idea of  a "southern" assemblage?
 Are there material correlates?

 I'd appreciate any help  locating good (serious) references on "southern
 ness"  ---  they don't even have to  be archaeological, if they have a
 material culture slant.   -- No Jeff Foxworthy comedian stuff however. ---
 thank you.
