Thread: Alabama Cuisine

Bushwacker is a good southern drink that I like. If you bring portillos, buona beef with you, bring the bread, they dont make its hard to find down there. Definitely stop at those places its worth it.

Funny enough we had Krispy Kremes here in Illinois for a while but they exited the market due to slow sales (guess we are too health conscience here...) Unfortunately we wont be there in an R month or July so that knocks out a couple items. Low country boil sounds good will have to look at making it.

Dew Drop Inn has been added to my lunch list. Where within 30 minutes of the State Park can I get good but not tourist price seafood?

I definitely understand that creole - cajun - southern etc are not inclusive. I love all those varieties of food but their a bit hard to find up here unfortunately. Evidently I can get Milo's tea in Southern Illinois (have to remember that next time im in St. Louis area).

Oh is it common practice to feed your guide down there like you do up north?

Low Country boil (with shrimp or crawdads) MUST include Baldwin County red potatoes and silver king corn (NOT queen).

Must do-s: Dew Drop Inn hotdog, Krispy Kreme donuts (HOT NOW ;-)
also fried softshell crab, fried crab claws, Grand Bay watermelon (In July), and of course West Indies Salad!

BTW, "cajun" is not the same as "southern"
just sayin ;-)

There are a couple of dishes that are definitely southern, but you'll have to look to find them: Moon Pie ice cream and Krispy Kreme bread pudding. Almost worth the time they take off your life.

reading this is making me so hungry……

Hamburgers at Pirates Cove are good. Try the Tin Roof in Bon Secour for seafood. Try Mikes in Gulf Shores for fried Mullet nite.

+infinity to whomever said conecuh sausage, I'm convinced that or bacon will be the death of me. It is really good, and if your heading down south Alabama the facility is right off the interstate in Evergreen. You can smell it as you drive by.

I'd rather eat seagull than have to eat Lutefisk again. It's not a typical northern dish - pretty much isolated to Minnesota on account of all the NorVegians who live there. Can't douse it with enough Minnesota Hot Sauce (ketchup) for me!
But who cares how they do it in the North Give me some good Southern cooking! Love the home cooking when I am down there, but will settle for Zeke's in a pinch.

Here's some bugs from last year. MM Good!

Do'nt know if it was sam or not but james and i cut a pompano rig out of a banded pelican yesterday and the line had been rapped around it's leg so tight that he could not stand on it.when he finally did fly off the leg was limp.if anybody sees it on the pier we may need to call animal rescue to see if anything can be done for him.

How bout some Krakow and some salsiccia? Oh yeah, and some toasted ravioli!

Robert---Last week, Sam had line with a speck rig tangled on his leg and I reported it to the officials, and they got right on trying to capture him.

George james said that was a spec rig so it must have been sam.
