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.

ARCHAEOLOGY
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.
