Alabama cooking has adopted many names, such as survival cooking, country cooking, down home cooking and soul food. After the Civil War, Alabama cooking became the mainstream cuisine throughout the South, now know as Deep Southern Cooking replacing antebellum cuisine (also called plantation cooking . Low Country, Gullah, Cajun, Creole, and Deep South cooking all have played a major role in giving birth to what is considered today's food.

mmmmmmm Sweet Potatoe Pie
I'll take some fried chicken, cornbread, sweet potato pie and peanut butter pie... Yum! Although, if I eat like that too often, I'll probably also be following that up with a double bypass.
Their bbq sauce sounds odd with the mayo base~
Now I'm hungry for some cornbread and peas with a sweet tea wash :) I've never had BBQ sauce that way or strawberry salsa. I'll have to look that up.
Good list :)
"Squash ( Sauteed, casserole)"--battered and fried/sauteed, also diced into hushpuppies and fried, though, personally, I prefer the casseroles.
I don't know if fried pickle slices are traditional or not, but I eat them on occasion :)
