    If you're going to make an episode about southern food you better damn well include some biscuits with sausage gravy, grits, fried catfish, fried dill pickles, pulled pork (smoked with hickory or apple wood), and cast iron cornbread. What the heck is liver mush?

    • @AllyGabrielle743

Never heard of liver mush and never ate a Moon Pie, which is not from grandma, but from some corporation somewhere. Soutehrn regions are different and have different cuisine.

I ask them what it is and they just say it's Lipton. But there is some kind of special "umph" to it that I have wished for years to figure out. I usually drink unsweetened and use stevia these days but the taste is still there. What could it be?

      I know right. gravy and biscuits is like an all-day Staple in the south it's breakfast lunch and dinner nothing like a freaking gravy and biscuit. go figure. I went to a Hardee's up north once when my dad was on business and they didn't know what gravy and biscuits was I was shocked because that's pretty much Hardee's staple.

    I've lived in Georgia all my life. What on earth is liver mush and pickled okra?? Fried okra is the best and fried livers are just heaven on earth. Also, where is their reaction for the sweet tea? There is such a thing as 'too northern sweet tea'. That's when the tea is no where sweet enough. Come on Buzzfeed. Consult more southerners about this and do it again.

      Pickled okra usually hides somewhere on the salad bar. Southerners are more likely to be familiar with fried okra or okra in a soup (like gumbo) not pickled okra. Idk what they were thinking. But, you know a northerner prolly put this list together so, you know. Their sweet tea also didn't have any ice that I could see.

      True. My wife is from around Wilson, NC, and they eat "liver mush". My family is from Sumter, SC and we eat "liver puddin". The textures are very different, plus "puddin" usually has rice in it. Kinda like Louisiana boudin, but a lot more liver. I like taking Neeses liver mush and mixing it in a bowl of grits with some Texas Pete. Liver puddin on a honey bun is another great Southern classic.

      I'm from Argo, Alabama. My grandparents raised me and we grew up playing in a swamp behind our house, picking fresh veggies out of the garden and stringing beans, and riding our bikes down our long gravel driveway. Big Sunday dinners usually consisted of baked macaroni and cheese, baby Lima beans, collard greens, mashed potatoes or hashbrown casserole, Texas toast, and some sort of chicken. And once I came back to Tennessee to live with my parents, every time I visited my Grandma and Grandpa, my Precious Grandma would always cook at least on of everyone's favorite. My Grandpa always makes one pitcher of unsweet and one of super sweet tea. I was taught to be kind to others, always wash my hands, put love into my cooking, and we were huge on respect. I am proud of my good, honest, hospitable southern upbringing. But I sure have never heard of liver mush and will never eat pickled okra. ;)
