My favorite icon of the south would definitely be fried chicken! My ethnic background is Romanian, and if you guys know any other Romanians, but we just love to eat, and one of the greatest contributions of the American South to the world was its fried chicken. According to wikipedia, apparantly, the American South was not the first culture to prepare "deep frying" foods; there is evidence of deep-frying cooking techniques in Europe during Middle Ages, Vietnam, and Africa. Although the South probably borrowed the idea, they definitely made fried chicken popular, resulting in today's love for fried chicken. I had fried chicken for dinner last night, and it was good!
