25 foods

Playing on facebook the other day-I took a quiz on 100 foods that everyone must try -so surprised that sushi wasn't listed. Neither was Belgian chocalate or french bread. But I guess people from different places have different views on what MUST be tried so being from the 25th state to join the Union I offer up my own version of foods/drinks that must be tried-especially if you're to say you've been to Arkansas.
1. Fried Green Tomatoes (this was on their list too)
2. Chocalate Gravy
3.grits
4.Cornmeal gravy-you gotta try it-it's much better than it sounds
5.Frog legs
6.Crawdads
7.Fried venison
8.Morrel mushrooms (again this was on their list)
9.Home made hominy-I just thought the canned stuff was good-the home made version is incredible
10.Sassafras tea
11.Sun tea-made in jar-outside-in the heat
12.Moonshine
13.blackberry cobbler
14.Spiked watermellon(better not use moonshine for this)
15.Pickled okra
16.muscadine wine
17.pecan pie
18.wild plum jam
19.pawpaws
20.trout
21,crappie
22.catfish
23.polk salad
24.turnip greens
25.fried chicken gizzards-don't judge until you've eaten one-the best come from the Shell gas station on 167 S.
