I was reading my daily newsletter from CHStoday this morning and saw this post about “Weird Southern Snacks.” Here is their original list.
1) Tomato sandwich | It’s about as simple as it gets — tomato, bread, mayo, salt, pepper, and sugar.
2) Boiled peanuts | These tender and delicious snacks can be seasoned to your liking. Some popular options include Cajun, salt ‘n vinegar, and hot and spicy.
3) Funeral sandwiches | Don’t be confused by the name; these elevated ham + cheese sammies can be enjoyed anywhere and are often found at tailgates.
4) Boat dip | Disclaimer: This dip doesn’t require a boat. The no-cook dip features sour cream, RO-TEL, cheese, and taco seasoning + is enjoyed with Fritos.
5) Pear salad | The term salad is used loosely; this dish features lettuce topped with a canned pear half, a dollop of mayo, a maraschino cherry, and shredded cheese.
