In Reply to: What foods are native to your area of the country - just curious
a favorite here. Mayo & sliced tomatoes--YUM!
My husband is a hunter. Venison is a staple in most diets in the south.
I have noted a few posts regarding pork skins. They are actually a actually listed in the Adkin's diet as a snack food. You can find them at any flea market in the south.
I grew up in Illinois (St. Louis metro) and many of the same foods we ate there are common here.

Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

you say tomato, I say tomato
I tried to leave by telling the guy the little one needed tending too...and it wasn't like the odor said I was lying about it! He just kept talking. The allotted time was over and we reminded him of that several times. As he did not want "his chance" to get away and wouldn't stop talking, I was left with no alternative.
You say classless and I bet you were one of the ones miffed for giving up 3 hours of your time when the deal said you only had to stay for 1-1/2 hours. We fulfilled our obligation. The rest...well, was... in the diaper. At least I didn't ask him to dispose of it!
There is a joke among used car dealers that becoming a TS salesman is what happens when a used car salesman gets burned out!
It's a business arrangement. We fulfilled our obligation and the offers always say you are under no obligation to buy...just fulfill their criteria. When the salesman overstepped his bounds and wouldn't take no for an anwer, he made the situation more uncomfortable than it had to be. Ms. Manners would probably chastise the TS salesman for not taking no for an answer, me for changing the child in front of him (there were no bathrooms where he gave the tour), and you for the holier-than-thou attitude. Classy indeed!

open faced roast beef sandwiches
Not so great for dieters, but heck, every now and then a little diet cheating is good. Toast up some bread, shred the roast over it, top with mashed potatoes (the real ones!), douse in brown gravy - instant comfort food.
My 10 y/o loves pickle relish and mayo sandwiches
Yuck! Kinda like a tartar sauce sandwich.

Tampa here - Cuban sandwiches, deviled crab, Mojo
pork, stuffed potatoes. My husband was born and raised here in the area while I am from Arkansas, and while I have not been to southern Florida (Miami), I have not found another area that has Cubans as good as I can get in Tampa. The only thing we had in my hometown that I've not found elsewhere was a patty melt at the Dairy Queen made with sourdough bread. Sadly they tore it down many years ago and the new store closed a few years back.
Easy! I grew up on quick tomato sauces.
It's very simple, and I do it without a recipe. I do my "light" sauce without meat in a very large pan, but you can do it in a medium to large pot.
I heat the pan over medium heat, I put several "glugs" of olive oil, probably a little less than a quarter cup. Toss in a clove of finely diced garlic (or more if you like), and about a half of a large onion finely diced. Saute for just a bit on medium heat to get everything softened and translucent, but not browned. Toss in tomatoes, either 4-6 cups of diced peeled and seeded fresh tomatoes, or one large can of crushed tomatoes. Add two or three leaves of chopped fresh basil, or about a tablespoon of dried basil. Let it all simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes (longer if using fresh tomatoes), and that's the very basic tomato sauce. I add salt to taste only at the end after it's reduced a bit. You can cook it longer if you like it thicker.
I vary it based on what how I'm using it. I sometimes add mushrooms or peppers, or a little hot pepper flakes to spice it up. If I'm using it with meat, I also add a little wine. Occasionally, the tomatoes might be just a little on the acid side, and then I'll throw in a pinch or two of sugar to cut that.
I don't use much sauce on my pasta or on meat, just a little bit to coat it and a bit more to top it to make it pretty. My grandmother and all of our Italian neighbors used these sauces pretty sparingly by American standards. I think in this country, we tend to really slather on the spaghetti sauce, so this recipe may not make as much as you want. If you want more, you can easily double or triple it.
You can grow tomato plants upside down from hanging pots, too.
