More than anything else, our trip to South Carolina and Georgia was about FOOD. I think I had pulled pork every night but one. No complaints.
In addition to meat, I also had my fill of sweet tea. It's odd: Normally I hate buying drinks in restaurants. But if I'm in the South, I make an exception for sweet tea. (My other exception: Thai iced tea in any Thai restaurant.) I'm sure I gave myself about four cavities from all of it I downed.
Edith also tried a lot of new foods. She got her fill of grits, and I couldn't feed her enough baked beans -- they might have been the sweetest food she had tried up to that point. And cornbread. I hated giving it to her because I wanted it all to myself! But I was a good mama and shared.
Here are some of our memorable meals and foods.

Fried okra was a popular side that Paul and I both liked.
Edith's favorite side by far was baked beans. |
 |
| Favorite sides of the trip: plantains, plus sweet potato salad |
 |
| Tomato pie in Hilton Head Island. Yum! |
 |
| Paul got the fried chicken at Hilton Head. |
 |
| Paul getting boiled peanuts at a roadside stand outside Charleston. |
 |
No pulled pork tonight! Cornbread, tomato pudding, sweet potatoes and fried grits.
Edith liked this meal as much as I did. |
 |
| Another meal without pork: We waited until our last day to get seafood. |
