What type of southern food did they eat in the

Please provide me with more information. I need to know what time period and location you're referring to. For example, are you asking about:

* Southern food in the antebellum South (before the Civil War)?

* Southern food during the Reconstruction era?

* Southern food in the Jim Crow era?

* Southern food in the 20th or 21st century?

* Southern food in a specific state like Georgia, Mississippi, or Louisiana?

Once I know the specific context, I can give you a more accurate and detailed answer.
