Pimento Cheese
While its origins lie in the Northern part of the country, if you ask just about anyone to name the most iconic southern snack, they will almost always say Pimento Cheese. Pimento cheese got its start as a mixture of cream cheese and pimentos in the early 20th century.

They are a perfect side note to just about any dish. They are fantastic on most sandwiches and make a great veggie addition to a charcuterie board.

Although the idea of combining peppers and water didn't originate in Louisiana, (most agree the Aztecs were the first to develop some kind of hot sauce) it was a Louisiana man who first popularized hot sauce on a mass scale. Edmund McIlhenny founded the popular Tabasco brand on Avery Island in Louisiana and helped the rest of the world discover this perfect blend of rich, spicy, yumminess. I've spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out what in the hell people put on their oyster poboys and tossed their buffalo wings in…
