Chime In to suggest your favorite regional food that I might not find outside of Florida/'TheSouth'


Recommended Posts

If they have it at Bongo's and you like seafood, you should try Paella.  I also had some made with Chicken and it was one of the best things I ever ate, except for  donuts.

 

They do indeed!  I haven't tried it yet, but everything else I've had there was great. This sounds like one doozie of a paella!!

 

Paella Valencia (Serves 2)  $76.00

Saffron rice with lobster, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, chorizo, sausage and chicken. Garnished with sweet peas, tomato and roasted pepper

That price is pretty steep, but judging by the portions I've seen for other dishes, my guess would be this feeds at least 3 or 4 people.

 

 

And this reminds me, I need to make sure Bongo's is on the List of Fun.  B)

and one of Mama's absolute favorites for breakfast was country ham. She made Red Eye gravy to go with grits when we had it. This is actually a picture from Waffle House which offers a choice of Country Ham or City Ham.

Another good southern treat is biscuit and sausage gravy.

Some of the suggestions from my area of the south are peas & butterbeans, greens & cornbread, country fried steak (not the crap you get in a restaurant) , Fried Okra, Chicken and Dumplins, Fried Catfish with cheese grits, cole slaw & hush puppies. Apalachicola oysters raw & fried. Fried shrimp and bay scallops. Oh and fresh creamed corn. I'm hungry! lol We got fresh green peanuts out of the field every year and boiled a ton of them for Mama.

 

I so miss having good fresh seafood. We have tried fried shrimp everywhere here and yuck. When we head back to the panhandle, we eat seafood!
