Mountain Dew was originally created as a mixer to improve the taste of whiskey, specifically moonshine.
The beverage was developed in the 1930s or 1940s by Tennessee brothers Barney and Ally Hartman, who made it because their favorite lemon-lime mixer, called Natural Set-Up, was unavailable in their new location.
The name "Mountain Dew" itself was an old Southern slang term for homemade moonshine, reflecting its intended use as a chaser or mixer for illicit distilled spirits
An old friend of mine introduced me to moonshine he brought home from visiting family in West Virginia back in the 70's, they always mixed it with cranberry juice.
Thank you for that info I really enjoy Mt. Dew
I have heard Ever Clear can be used as a paint thinner Too strong for me❤
I grew up in Philadelphia and we ate tomato sandwiches. Plain white bread, sometimes lightly toasted, mayonnaise and salt and pepper. Still my favorite sandwich
Yep, needs salt & pepper.
Mine toooooo love them so much.
Me too
@susanking3974 A MUST!
I grew up north of Pittsburgh in the country and we had tomatoes growing everywhere and I am one of the people that just cannot stand a raw tomato. I don't know if it is the texture or taste, but it immediately to me was nasty. I have that weird gene also that make cilantro taste like soap. If you know than you know. Love things made from tomato, but raw tomato to me is a solid no.
If you microwave the moonpie for 10 sec it’s like a smore! So good!
😮
That’s how I’ve always eaten them! It takes it up a notch for sure
100%!!! They aren’t meant to be eaten cold.
That's how I eat them too!
I take the Korean version of these eat the cookie first then roast the marshmallow over the fire. Idk why but they have the best marshmallows for roasting lol
You have to put your salted peanuts in the RC. 😉
That sounds rough. lol!
Royal Crown Cola! A rare treat in the 1950’s American south.
I was wondering where the salted peanuts were.
Make sure you take a good couple drinks out of it. Don’t just throw the peanuts in a full RC or you’ll have RC in your lap lol
Better in coke.
I'm from Georgia and tomato sandwiches are a fave! I loved reading comments from people all over loving them too!
You should make him some country ham and red eye gravy to eat with his biscuit.
Sausage gravy is a must try!
@susanking3974yes! Sausage gravy gets my vote!
@susanking3974 Red eye gravy is a must try. You can get sausage gravy everywhere now. It's just not that special. Also, they suggest country ham because you make red eye gravy from the drippings of the ham so it would pair better with biscuits and ham than sausage. You must be some yankees or transplants.
it has to be Virginia country ham
@susanking3974agreed
I am from Massachusetts and I have eaten a tomato sandwich. By the way my family is from Sicily. Toll house cookies were invented in Massachusetts.
When I finally travel to Itsly, my first stop will be Sicily. I dont know why, I just envision excellent Italian food there. I dont care what kind. I just think of Sicily when I think of Italy.
I love a good tomato sandwich!
Am from NYC , parents Sicilian and I love tomato sandwiches. Just mayo, salt, pepper and crispy bread.
I grew up in Massachusetts and we always had tomato and mayo sandwiches in the summer. They're delicious!
A tomato sandwich isn't to far fetched knowing my family. But no, we added lettuce, bacon, and called it a BLT.
I grew up in upstate NY and ate tomato sandwiches all summer long. I don’t think that’s just southern. 😂
I’m glad Alessio liked the majority of the food.
We eat tomato sandwiches in California too. I grew up eating these
So glad she seasoned the tomato slices with salt and pepper before putting on the mayo and white bread
We grew up eating tomatoes like apples in Cali. Didn't even need any bread.
I am Italian American, only 2nd gen in the U.S. from Western NY and we always had tomato and mayo sandwiches on classic white bread...of course with fresh tomatoes from my grandpa's urban garden. He was from Gaeta. It is still one of my favorites that I crave and must make every so often; just had some last week. :) I had to buy the white bread and mayo specifically last week to make this because I rarely have them in the house. LOL Still one of the best memories of childhood in our Italian household that I cannot give up. :) Also loved RC Cola back then.
What part? My husbands family is from Jamestown! Go Bills!!
We ate them in Texas growing up but it was more of a Spring/Summer food especially on hot days because it was light on the stomach and cheap. Sometimes we would add cheese.
A large part of my family is from Zagreb Croatia and we eat tomato sandwiches all the time when it's in season. My Papa and I would sneak into the garden when my grandma wasn't looking and we would sit and eat tomatoes and cucumbers with salt. I would take the blame if we ate everything that was ripe and she wanted to use it for dinner and Papa paid me in candy for taking the rap. 😂😂
My son in law’s family came from Gaeta and that is his last name
You wouldn't be from around Fredonia or Dunkirk would you?
If Coke and Pepsi had a baby, it would be RC. 😂
Yesit would
Yeah except she clearly had all the sodas WARM. Gross. She's trying too hard to be European where they do things all wrong like drinking warm soda. They're meant to be drank cold
It's perfect middle ground. Not as syrupy as Coke, less fizzy than Pepsi
Perfectly sums up RC. It's been decades since I've had a taste.
@dovie2blue I drink it all the time here in TN. It’s not as sweet as Coke and Pepsi but it is definitely more carbonated then either of them and that’s why I prefer it.
Also can’t beat Southern turnip greens
I'm born and raised in Hawaii. We ate tomato and mayo sandwiches when it was tomato season. Love them so much! You two are so cute! ❤
Omgoodness! The baby bunp is bumping! You are beautiful
They talked about it in their live stream 6 days ago. If you missed it you should go check it out.
Love tomato sandwiches in the summer with fresh tomatoes..Oregon! ♥
dont forget the mayo!
Add lettuce and bacon! You got a potential gold star sammy
Ireland here. Have had tomato n mayo sandwiches for over 50yrs.. Never been to the South either
Good food is universal....
You should visit…😁
In Canada toasted with mayo sometimes in the broiler with cheese on top
❤️🇨🇦❤️
I think that was the moment he won his case.
Adding crisp, crumbled bacon to cheese grits takes it to another level! I grew up in the Midwest but after moving to the South, I was introduced to grits. I can eat them plain but LOVE bacon & cheese grits!
Ooooh that sounds divine🤗
I'm so proud of you, you done a great job. And I'm also happy he loved some of our southern dishes ❤❤❤
Love all these southern foods! From south Louisiana here, living in Indiana.
In the Cleveland TN area they eat black eyed peas and collard greens for good luck on New Years.
NC as well
@vicentina60 With cornbread
The same in Nashville!
Black eyed peas and cabbage here in Texas.
@Icoach4freeboiled cabbage?
Eating black eyed peas on New Year's is lucky and Hoppin John is one of those dishes. We've made cowboy caviar using black eyed peas before.
Southern Tea is very sweet to the uninitiated. There is a real reason for it. When we worked on Grandpa's farm back in the 60's, it wasn't a weekend vacation - it was get up at 4 am 'cause Grandma started breakfast at 3 am. You had to eat, then get to the barn to sharpen tools, grind corn and make the mash for the hogs later in the morning, feed the chickens etc. At lunch time you were wore out, dirty, exhausted and that sugar bomb of ice tea would pull you through the afternoon. It was so good on a hot summer afternoon.
Don't know it's regional heritage but a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich is to die for.
I like toasted cheese sandwich with mayo and tomato…yum!!
In Cuba it’s super common to eat bread with tomato, it’s delicious.
Great video,.I love that your cat 🐈 is just walking around and in the video 📹. So cute. Nicely done on the food ❤
We need the written recipes 😋🍴 I'm no kitchen princess at all, so I could use all the cooking tips and recipes from Jessi😅❤. If Alessio likes all her food, she must be a very good cook!
My mother grew up eating tomato sandwiches and she grew up in upstate NY with no southerners in her family
In your Ice Tea you need to add real lemon to it and it will make it that much better.
Tomato Sandwiches are not a southern dish only! They are eaten by anyone growing a garden which were many families back in the day! It probably became popular from the south.
NEPA too. Add a slice of white American cheese...perfect!
Absolutely!
I’m happy u said that…southerners feel the need to take the credit for anything that tastes good. BS
@janets132003 ANY cheese, actually.. lol One of my favorites. I use a croissant and avocado mayo and whatever cheese we have at the moment. Had one about a week ago. Used Havarti cheese.. yum.
The tomato sandwich is associated with Southern cuisine and according to Yahoo News is considered an important part of that cuisine. According to Chuck Reece, editor of Georgia Public Radio's Salvation South, the tomato sandwich is "one thing-one perfect thing-about which every Southerner can agree". The New York Times called it "the sandwich southerners wait for all year".[8] Jenn Rice, writing in Garden & Gun, says "The taste of tomato slathered in mayo is such a part of our summer memories that it’s practically part of our DNA."
Outside of the south the tomato sandwich is not well-known and is sometimes mocked; Seattle food writer Geraldine DeRuiter caused a stir when she opined that "a 'tomato sandwich' is not a sandwich. You just don't have the ingredients to make a BLT". North Carolina RUclipsr SouthernASMR posted a video of herself making and eating a tomato sandwich and was widely mocked by "plenty of ... non-southerners", some calling the sandwich "gross", according to the New York Times. Southern Living writer Rick Bragg said a common reaction from those outside the south when hearing of the sandwich was "yuck".
4:37 "How long does water take to soak into a grit? Does the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove? Did you get these grits from the same guy Jack got his magic beans?"
😂😂😂
My Cousin Vinny!!
Were these MAGIC grits?
2 yoots?
I'm Italian American first born generation from NJ , one of my go to all time comfort sandwich is a tomato mayo sandwich, love love love it!
Philly here and nothin like Jersey tomatoes!
Especially the ones my mom grew in her in her garden with love!❤🍅
Born & raised in northeast PA and have had and like tomato sandwiches. Did not know it was a "southern" thing. Mom & dad would also eat fried green tomato sandwiches.
9:25 I work for a retirement community in Tennessee. I make the sweet tea....it's tea flavored sugar water 😆
Key Lime pie, North, South, East, or West, it doesn't matter. It is the best out there.
"Sure I've heard of grits, I've just never seen a grit before"
-My Cousin Vinny 😂
Just tell Alessio that grits are very much like polenta. I'm sure he'll eat them right up.
18:59 I live in BC, Canada, and fresh tomato sandwiches are eaten here, too. Definitely not just a Southern USA thing.
I ate tomato sandwiches all the time growing up in NY!!!
Yall eat a lot other southern things, might not even know they’re southern
@HBC423 Typical American exceptionalism mindset 😂
Here in AB I like to toast mine😅 I like soft buns but toasty bread
They're definitely more of a depression thing than a southern thing.
Hello from Friuli (Gorizia).
Southern food is WONDERFUL! Fried chicken is fantastic. Catfish is great (what arguments with Italians, who refuse to eat it.) And, Gumbo is the best! I lived for a few years in Virginia - hot summers with pitchers of beer and shrimp were great memories!
Southern food is made with love and soul and heart and tradition… Very much like Italian food. I truly believe that’s why he loves it so much. He can FEEL it ❤
As a second generation Italian I can tell you that a tomato and mayonnaise sandwiches (with a little black pepper) on any bread, - but especially Italian bread - is the BEST! 😘
Love from Connecticut
Well, as a multi-generational American we have the same sandwich, just leveled up with bacon and lettuce and we call it a BLT. Seriously, the only thing you are missing on yours is garlic, and you've got a grocery list for basically every Italian dish that exists along with some kind of pasta. Italians being so smug about the food is embarrassing. It's cheap food and feeds a big family.
We are Italian and we ate tomato and mayo in NY all the time.
Is the tomato toasted or the bread?
@maggie2sticks717 Everyone in my family had their bread toasted, but I liked it on soft white bread.
A little butter with that biscuit and jam would be phenomenal
Grandma from Tennessee ate Onion sandwiches . New Yrs torn. Rice and Beans or my northern Pork and Sauerkraut. It’s amazing how the last of many of the food supplies going bad as winter heads into the New Yr became each regions known food.
RC was always around in the small town I grew up in in the '90s.
My family's favorite desserts are Banana Pudding and something we call Elaine's Dessert (but I don't know how it's spelled, so I took my best guess). It's a cream cheese, whipped cream, and powdered sugar mixture, topped with butterscotch pudding (with whipped cream on top of that), on top of a graham cracker crust. Amazing! The filling comes out very much like those boxed no-bake cheesecakes, not as rich as a normal cheesecake and softer, but with butterscotch pudding and whipped cream on top.
Tomato sandwiches on toast here in northern IL, too. We also ate thinly sliced radishes freh out of the garden, on soft white bread, slathered with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
My father ate radish sandwiches too. We all ate tomato and mayo but only fresh from the garden
I think tomato sandwiches are kind of a world wide thing.
Easy to grow and easy to eat.
Today for lunch here in Mississippi i'm cooking Bbq chicken, turnip greens, pineapple casserole, cornbread, and sweet tea. 😊
I've never heard of a pineapple casserole, and I'm from NC.
Alessio is a great husband who loves his wife, and eats what his wife makes and loves. I liked the iced tea
I first tasted Go Goo Clusters when I ate at a Cracker Barrel as I moved to Hendersonville, TN. These days I prefer the ones with pecans instead of peanuts.
I saw a baby bump! So exciting!
Omg lol shes not even pregnant shes faking the whole thing
@Countrygirl6969 curious, why do you think that ? Specifics.
@Countrygirl6969 Your weird.
When did you see the bump ?? In every Video She is always leaning over like her back is hurting
@e@elle91711country girl why are you lying ??
I live in Eastern PA. My Italian grandfather would always make tomato sandwhiches in the summer with his garden grown tomatoes. But he would use olive oil and red wine vinegar, and some dried oregano. 😊 I still do it and think of him every time. ❤
Especially when its cold, hot cheese grits topped with eggs and bacon, eggs, and ham. I also put some hot pepper and smoked paprika. One winter weekend at a mountain cabin, I made a big pot of pimento cheese grits for a group of folks who didnt love grits (most of them)...everyone LOVED them.😊
I love mixing bacon, eggs and ham in my grits as well- but your pimento cheese idea sounds incredible! I need to try that!!!
I beat an egg into my grits when cooking - makes them come out like a souffle.
Most important thing with Cheerwine is drink it ice cold. It tastes like cough medicine when it’s not cold
In the north(US) we have tomato sandwiches also, especially if you have a home garden. Sundrop is popular in northern Wisconsin. It tastes like mountain dew with citrus added. I also grew up with RC in the 70's and 80's.
My Mom is Italian and we grew up eating tomato sandwiches.
I do too, but we call ours bruschetta.
@goldenstate66 Bruschetta has other things in it -- peppers, onions, balsamic vinegar...
@susanking3974I know. It's still a tomato sandwich.
I come from a southern family and have gone to countless family reunions and I have never heard of the pineapple casserole until i watched your Thanksgiving episode. Im going to give it a try. I absolutely love grits.
Even here in the south we have certain dishes that are specific to certain regions. For instance....id never heard of WHITE BBQ sauce until I went to visit my sister in Alabama. Its mayo based instead of the ketchup, mustard, or vinegar bases that is popular everywhere else. Its ok...not really my thing, but I was so confused when "white" was an option. Growing up in SC and then living in NC for the past 14 years, pineapple and cheese casserole is a common side dish at pot lucks and holidays. My grandmother even had pineapple and cheese sandwiches with a light smear of mayo on the bread ( HAS to be cheddar cheese)...and It was surprisingly tasty, as is the casserole. Dont try it if you arent a person that likes the sweet and savory combo foods though.
@mysticmama_3692 born and raised in SC. Never heard of the pineapple casserole before.
@jessicaturner2890born in GA, raised in SC and we love pineapple casserole. It is great as a side with ham.
I have a friend from Texas who makes this.
South Carolina here. Pineapple casserole is one of my favorites and was at most church potlucks.
I need lemon in my sweet tea ❤
9:50 I'm surprised he not super into sweet tea. Most people who've never tried are apprehensive at first but then their minds are blown. It's soooo good!
Not a surprise us Italians eat tomato sandwiches in Italy...remember, tomato is the Italian national flower. LOL
Nothing beats a Sanders hot fudge cream puff sundae 🍨
Love, Michigan
Absolutely ❤
Yes!!!
10:49 biscuits halved, toasted and drizzle with honey. Or toast a slice of cheese on top (like cheese toast). Yum!!
I enjoy these videos so much. We still have RC cola up here in NY and NJ. And tomato mayo sandwiches ❤
Theodore Roosevelt’s Mother was a Southerner. When he was a kid growing up in New York, he ate a lot of grits for breakfast. When he and his siblings were especially well-behaved, she made them grits with cheese.
Your Hop and John sounds delicious! It would be great with corn bread! As far as the cheese grits, I accidentally made the greatest personal discovery (that others probably know already, lol) for cheesy grits. If you crack an egg and mix it in them while they are hot, but not quite hot enough to cook the egg after adding the cheese, it will make it intensely smooth and creamy. As far as sweet tea, three large family bags run through the regular 10 cup coffee pot with two full pots makes a good, strong tea. Just add the sugar to taste and it saves a bunch of time on the stove. I usually go about 1/2-2/3 cup per gallon depending on if lemon will be involved or not. You two are awesome, glad you showed up in my feed!
Italian American here from New York City. We always had tomato sandwiches-one of my favorites! Got my children hooked too!
Glad you're feeling better Jessie!!
I was going to say the same. (Except I’m not Italian) born in NY and been having tomato sandwiches since the 1960s. I think it must’ve been more of a thing for those with little money to spare, at times. Or maybe not. It’s just good!
I am so thankful that Jesse is feeling better and able to cook and eat without becoming sick. I also spotted a baby bump. I am from southern Indiana and am now living in East Tennessee. I grew up eating many of these dishes. Still haven't made the pineapple casserole. After Alessio's stamp of approval I may have to give it a try.
I think so, too; definitely filling out in the face! Congratulazioni!
@frankgayton2754 yes! You can definitely see her face is much fuller & I did see a little bump when she turned to the side at one point 👏👏👏
RC cola is Royal Crown Cola
It’s an old recipe and an old name, Cheerwine sounds alcoholic.
@marianstokelI agree! Sounds alcoholic, but is very similar to cherry cola's.
I'm from the Chicago area so we had a mixture of all kinds of desserts. Right now I live in WI and let's just say we have some great custards, ice cream and cheesecake since we're known as the Dairy State. My grandparents were born and raised in western TN and my grandma would make a delicious banana pudding!
Today, RC is in a lot of concession stands, like at a high school sporting event. They sell a lot of the canisters of RC that hook up to the soda dispensers. Cheaper than the Coke or Pepsi products and tastes good.
Lady, Shelbyville Tennessee here!!
Cheese grits topped with a fried runny egg, yumm. But I also like butter and sweetener in my grits on occasion. Black eyed peas, smoked hog jowl and cornbread along with some turnip greens makes the beginning of the year quite tasty!! I'm convinced I need to try the pineapple casserole. The expected ice storm would be the perfect reason, lol. Minner cheese, nothing like it, try slathering some on celery. We always had celery and cheez whiz, it was good too!! Biscuits topped with a little pancake syrup and butter mixed, I'm hungry now and it's 1:05 a.m. 1/23 😢! Tomato sammich sprinkled with salt and pepper is a must!! Is the banana pudding scratch made??
Love your show❤ you look beautiful Jessi!😊
He is ABSOLUTELY right! The way we Southerners make tuna fish on a sandwich with tomato....YUMMY
I’m a Michigan girl and we always had tomato and tuna on white bread growing up. I think this an American sandwich not just a Southern sandwich.
I’m a Coloradan and love tomatoes in my tuna salad but I eat it with crackers
Lol !!😂😂😂 Tuna and tomato sandwiches is definitely NOT a southern thing 😂😂😂
It is everywhere
You’re full of crap
@ginameldrum336I was just talking from my perspective...I know it isn't just a Southern thing, but i can only speak for the south.... mayo, eggs, sweet relish, salt and pepper... is that how y'all make your Tuna too?
Us Latinos eat tamales for Christmas and New Years.. for dessert bunelos and Mexican hot chocolate.. I'd love to see you both try them 🖤
Lol tamales are the best plus we knew we had something to open on Christmas. We make red white and green tamales. After moving around the globe every 3 years ( military) I learned that so many dont know what white tamales are? White ones are the sweet ones cinnamon sugar raisins chocolate etc. Tamales version upon version never had one i didnt like. My cousin had the hardest job making the masa grinding up we didn't buy the bags I do now lol
You need to make this for his family in Italy, and thanks for the Italian intro!
I also grew up with tomatoes and mayonaissse on bread, with cucumber, and I'm from Norway.
Love the video folks. First, Cheerwine is NOT dr pepper! Ice cold on a hot day its awesome. When I was stationed in N.C., the soda machine at my unit would always sell out of Cheerwine first. As for RC and moon pie, the gas stations near the base would have moon pies taped to the tops of cans of RC in the cooler, and sell them as a combo.
Thanks for a great blast from the past! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. 🎄🎆
I’m so intrigued by your pineapple casserole and can’t wait to make it! 😁
Barqs rootbeer was made in Biloxi Mississippi. True southern soda. 😊
We live in Michigan, my mother is Irish she eats tomato sandwiches
I like Barqs.
@izibear4462 It has bite.
I'm from outside Boston. I used to love the grits and banana pudding my aunt used to make. I haven't had either in many years. I also love tomato sandwiches but they have to be with fresh garden tomatoes. Cannot eat anything with peppers. I don't like them and they kill my stomach. Love you guys.
My grandparents, Jiggie and Pop, lived in central Kentucky and had huge gardens. Every year when the roma tomatoes rippened, besides making tomatoes puree/sauce, they would send bushels with their Italian friend travelling to some of his family in Chicago. They made sauce with the tomatoes.
At my grandparents' house we would have beefsteak tomatoe sandwiches on Jiggie's whole wheat bread, so delicious. Also, her pimento cheese recipe is so different than any I have ever tasted. She would make pimento cheese sandwiches on her bread and we would picnic on them on the motor boat while resting after rounds of water skiing. Great memories!
Tomato sandwiches are everywhere! When it's tomato season in the mid-Atlantic (especially PA), we take a loaf of bread, salt and pepper, and mayo (in a small cooler) out to the tomato patch as we're harvesting! Yummy!
I’m from the South and we eat bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches with lots of pepper, and of course mayonnaise on it.
Letsus not forget bananas with peanut butter and mayo on it.
And an onion slice. My dad was from N.C. This is a summer fav to this day.
Good ol' BLT, though I'd say at this point it's a beloved sandwich of the country. A great sandwich for the summer imo, rather light but does the job when you need something to eat.
My in-laws were from the south now in the Midwest. Im so grateful to have been introduced to their southern foods. Sweet tea from my father in law and banana pudding from my mother in law, chefs kiss. 😘
I used to make banana pudding growing up in Zimbabwe. Absolutely love it.
When I was young and poor we had a huge garden and baked our own bread. We ate so many tomato sandwiches with a fresh warm tomato out of the garden.
My favorite is when the tomatoes are vine ripe, and still warm from the sun. 🤤
Exactly how it should be store bought tomatoes are horrible!
This is kinda why I dont like tomato sandwiches. :)
So fun love when you do taste testing. On the side born and raised Washingtonian when our tomatoes were ripe from the garden we always had tomato sandwiches. But they had to be vine ripe otherwise they didn’t taste the same.
American apple pie NC in the western mountains, also where all the apple groves are.
Had tomato sandwiches growing up in Philly, just added salt and pepper on white with thick slice of tomato on white bread. YUM!!! Especially in the summer with fresh Jersey tomatoes!!!
Yes!!! My mouth is watering!!! I'm from NY but nobody beats Jersey tomatoes or blueberries!!
Wisconsin- I've been learning recently that we're culturally very similar to New York, so it's no great surprise that one of our best desserts is cheesecake. But when it comes to homemade desserts, rhubarb crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is hard to beat- it is very common for people here to have a rhubarb patch in their yard just for that.
Also a Wisconsinite and I love a good rhubarb crisp.
@mariaschuerman6268My favorite too! Rhubarb 😋
Another thing from Wisconsin is cheese curds real cheese curds fried in beer batter, not the fake ones you find on the menu at the nation chain restaurants.
You are so right. Had rhubarb growing in the backyard and grew up eating rhubarb stewed and yes crisp with ice cream heaven in a bowl 💕
Black Raspberry Pie. Not Blackberry… Black Raspberry. An Indiana favorite for my husband and me. Sooooo delicious!! Love yall…. From Murfreesboro TN now
For new Year's we eat a turnip green soup which has ( in addition to turnip greens), Sausage, onion, celery, beans( or black- eyed peas) and small pieces of bacon. We serve it over rice.
My grandparents were from southern Italy and we love our tomato and mayo sandwiches - of course, they’re best when made with local Jersey tomatoes! Though, I’ve had delicious local tomatoes in Tennessee when visiting my brother,v in Maryville (he attended UVA in Wise, VA and stayed in the south instead of coming back home to New Jersey (another brother did the same and settled in Staunton, VA). These things I love - country ham, grits, fried apples, sweet tea and the South!
Homemade pimento cheese is always better if you eat it the next day
I’m from Salisbury so I drank Cheerwine (made in Salisbury) before I tasted formula the day I was born. I so miss it and Sun Drop.
Hello from Kannapolis, NC!
Cheerwine is the BEST drink, and in no way like Dr Pepper! They only distribute it regionally, so you won't find it too many places outside of the South. I think I heard that it can be found elsewhere in the US, but I don't remember if it's at a restaurant or Walmart...
NYer here Italian heritage. Born and raised on Long island. My mom loved RC Cola and we always ate tomato and mayo sandwiches. Yummy!
Yeah but we always drank COLD soda. Why on Earth did she have him try warm gross soda? She's trying too hard to appeal to his Euro style where they wrongly drink warm gross soda. They only do this because they don't like to pay for refrigeration. Just wrong
Sundrop is also very big in northern Wisconsin, the town near where I grew up bottled it, and has a museum dedicated to it as well as a 2 day yearly event called sundrop dayz that's been around for few years now. It tastes different now tho, I miss the old recipe you could get the old green glass bottles with very visible citrus pulp floating around in it.
WooHoo! Goo Goos originally started in Nashville. My college room made used to get a care package of boxes of Goo Goo rejects (the Goo Goos that had too many nuts or too much marshmallow)
From Argentina, we eat mayo tomato sandwiches all the time lol.
I put mustard and onion on my tomato sandwich, it’s awesome. South
I do a slice of cheese
Moon Pie festival in Bell Buckle, TN.
Yes! They have to go👆
I’m actually from north Georgia. Some of these have definitely got to be from a different part of the south. Never heard of pineapple casserole or hop and John. We do eat black eye peas and greens on New Year’s Day but separately as sides
My mother used to make angel biscuits. To me they're a cross between a roll and a biscuit. Pimento cheese started in New York in 1800. But Georgia Farmers started growing pimentos. And then came what we know and use today.
