If you’re a true Georgian, you already know it.
Every carbonated drink is coke. All foods taste better fried. And saying “y’all” is perfectly fine.
But pardon me, fellow Georgians. I'm just not sure we'll all agree with Business Insider's choice of our state's best snack food.
Not peanuts or peaches or even Waffle House hashbrowns. Nope. It’s pimento cheese.
“The caviar of the South” blends cheddar cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise and spices into a nice spread. It works on crackers and sandwiches, and it’s great grilled. It’s even available on chili dogs at The Varsity. And it’s a staple at The Masters every spring in Augusta.
But the top snack in Georgia? Nah. That just ain’t right.
I like pimento cheese. But it’s a meal, not a snack. And it’s not even the best snack among Southern states, according to the rankings.
Top snacks in neighboring states include Moon Pies in Alabama, coconut patties in Florida, Krispy Kreme donuts in North Carolina, boiled peanuts in South Carolina, and GooGoo Clusters in Tennessee.
What about funnel cakes, hush puppies or even sweet tea? Clearly the writers have not spent much time here in Georgia, bless their hearts.
