Southern Food

I'm a total southern girl. Well, I am actually from Michigan but I came to Virginia when I was only nine months old. I don't consider myself northern at all. My mom says I am a Sothern Belle (Hence the name). I talk southern, eat southern food, I am even a Southern Baptist! One thing that really showed I was southern was this summer when I went to Montana. In Montana, they serve weird food like elk, buffalo, red rainbow trout. Here in Virginia, we eat collards, fried chicken, and the works. After just a couple days of eating the Montana food, we were about to die. The food was strange and we wanted our good ol' southern style dining. We were discussing it on the way to Bozemen when we came upon a Cracker Barrel (its a restuarant that specializes in Southern food). We were so happy that we ate there four nights in a row and I had chicken n' dumplinges every night. I think we would have gone crazy eating elk if we hadn't found the Cracker Barrel. That is an example of just how southern I am.
