I've never had pit-smoked, whole hog from North Carolina, but I'm pretty sure I'm a fan. I think I have some southern in me. And not just southern Maine. I love collard greens, fried okra and chicken and waffles. I had to look up one of the sides, because I didn't know what it was.

Brunswick Stew. I will say, what I read scared me (gee, maybe I'm not that southern afterall).The definition of Brunswick Stew is: a stew originally made with squirrel or rabbit, but now consisting of chicken and vegetables including onion and tomatoes. charm.

Okay, I might double up on the pimento cheese biscuits and skip the stew.
