Just a Pinch of South

For those of us who grew up in the South but have moved elsewhere, we love our roots and all they have provided. There's a lot that I've come to appreciate about the South. But let's be honest, most of us don't want to go back to "full Southern." We're happy with just a pinch here and there to add flavor to the life we live now. If you are not a Southerner, perhaps you'll come to better appreciate the little gifts the American South has given and continues to give our culture. Photos are not mine unless specified.

I realize this is a Dove bar. But a Dove bar is just a fancy Eskimo Pie. Now, Eskimo Pies are not technically Southern (a bit of research revealed this). But I associate them with my childhood in Georgia. They were a summer treat that had to be eaten outside so that when they melted, it would be on the grass. And the tops of my bare feet. Of course eating Eskimo Pies in 80+ degree weather means it will melt in mere moments. It required single-minded determination to make sure the entire thing was eaten before it would completely disintegrate.
