Honey, I've eaten enough southern cooking to last me, my children, and my grandchildren a lifetime. ;-) While it may taste good going down, it doesn't fit my dietary needs, and I can do fine without it.
SJ: I can relate to this, at least most of the time. but when I go home to my mom's house, I can eat some good fried chicken, mashed taters, butter beans, corn bread, collards... pound cake... and its like heaven. thankfully, its not a tradition at my house though. I would be seriously obese and I'm not kidding.
