America has many regional foods. What would you recommend to a traveller who wanted to experience food from the South?

If someone was going to the South for the first time, I would definitely recommend grits if you are looking for something to go along with your breakfast. When my family and I drive to Florida every year, we always stop in Georgia and order grits. Grits is kind of like farina but a little less thick and more white in color. Farina is usually more brown in color because it is made from wheat, where grits is not. Almost every place in the south has grits, which is usually served as a side. Some places in the North offer grits but they don't taste the same.
