I love regional cuisine, but something I noticed is that many foods differ from state to state, heck street to street in some cases!
In North Carolina there are several distinct types of BBQ, though Lexington style is considered by many from outside of the area to be 'true NC Style BBQ'. The same with custards, pies, cakes, and so on. I know of at least 8 different ways to make 'wedding punch' !
So, I thought I'd start a thread where you can share your favorite recipes from your hometown/state/grandma. It doesn't matter if the same recipe is listed many times, it's all in how YOU make it!
Title your post your recipes' name (add state, please?), share the recipe, and please (PLEASE!) share the story behind it. Where it came from (town/county), who made it the most, and what it reminds you of when you eat it. (grandma's kitchen, 4th of july parties, christmas, a funeral, a wedding, or even a super sunset you saw)
