Counting the ballots…
“Reminds me of the summer days my dad, from a small town called Baxley in South Georgia, used to make a pot of boiled peanuts and we’d huddle over the pot popping endless shells.”
“Had a Prez that was a peanut farmer. Need I say more? Oh, I could add that he sold his farm when he became president. Again, need I say more?!”
“American Deli does it best, and I think it's more unique than the peach cobbler because Fredricksburg TX is also all about peaches.”
“Paschal’s!! Sweet peaches with a light, flaky and buttery crust that has just the right amount of salt to set off the fruity sweetness!!”
“I lived most of my life in the North and discovered the joy of pimento cheese when I moved to Atlanta GA. My dear friend and neighbor, Delia, makes the best!”
Georgia votes for its own crops. Peach Cobbler, Vidalia Onion Rings, Boiled Peanuts, and Pecan Pralines each name the place they grew. The coast contributes Shrimp & Grits and Brunswick Stew, while Country Captain Chicken arrived at the port with the spice trade. Fried Chicken and Pimento Cheese, the caviar of the South, are the standing Sunday order. Then Atlanta interrupts with Lemon Pepper Wings, wet or dry, the only modern entry here. What Georgia is famous for is usually named after the county it grew in. So what is Georgia's official state dish? That question is the whole point.
