Take The Southern Fried Picky Eater Test Challenge

Yuck!

Hello y'all!

Growing up in Dixie this blogger has had both the fortune, and misfortune, to have been raised on a various diet of uniquely Southern cuisine. Some of it pretty good, especially in the Carolinas where we are famously known for our barbecue; and some of it that is down-right disgusting, like pickled pigs feet! UGH!

Now my grandpa Billy -- God rest his soul! -- in his youth enjoyed the damn things. He continued to eat them until I was very young, but eventually had to stop eating them due to health issues. To me, those things always looked like something that was once living like a cow fetus now floating in a gallon jar of formaldehyde. 

They still largely sell them in convenience stories throughout the South right next to the pickled boiled eggs....which I love with a passion! 

There are other foods unique to the Southland which I have both a love and hate relations ship with. Fried livermush, love it. Fried green tomatoes, hate them. Salmon patties, love them. Crawfish patties, ugh! You get the idea.

It was thinking about these various foods that helped me come up with my new personal challenge that I invite all of y'all to give a try -- The Southern Fried Picky Eater Test Challenge!  

Here's how it works. 

There are sixty choices of various foods and condiments on the list. For every item you cannot eat, or would never eat base on choice, you add 1 point. If you reach 25 or more points, then you are indeed a picky eater for certain.  

Give it a try and post your results in the comments below. Try and get your friends and family to give it a try as well. Find out if you, or a friend, or loved one is a picky eater.
