BBQ is definitely up there. So is chicken fried steak. Of course, I wouldn't be a true Texan if I didn't mention chili. Fried chicken is good, but not near my favorite. I'll go with chicken fried steak, with a good gravy on the side.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatos, black eyed peas, corn bread, sweet milk, and cherry cobbler for dessert.

Then take me home, God. I'm a happy man.

Peach cobbler for me, every time. Sometimes with a bit of homemade ice cream.

I thought about some good home-made vanilla ice cream on top after the fact.
Peach, cherry. I'm easily pleased. Either is fine, or both.

I make a great peach cobbler. Momma makes a killer cherry pie.

Only other thing I can think of is biscuits and white (or sausage) gravy.

Naw, it's Southern. Or western. Some accounts have BBQ arising from plantations, something the slaves would cook for themselves, other accounts have it coming out of the SW and West, with cowboys doing most of the "pioneering." However most people agree that the Native Americans were the ones who introduced slow-cooking open-pit to the Europeans in Jamestown.

Here's a history that takes the South's side:

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CLASS/MA95/dove/history.htm

Another good site: http://akak.essortment.com/barbecuebbqhis_ruei.htm

BBQ is also big in Australia and S. Africa, btw.

BBQ is actually French-Carribean in origin. BBQ is a corruption of the French word barbacan (or something like that). Incidentally, this is where we get the word bucaneer from. The early French pirates of the Carribean would cook their meat over wooden slats, hence, bacan-eers, bucaneers. At least according to my pirate books.

I've heard all of these, and also that it dates back to the Spanish settlers.

Well, slow roasting of meats is an acient form of cooking meat- so everyoneinvolved in the early colonization of America must have had some form or another of slow roating.

gotta say I have to agree with Slowwhand....chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with gravy. Although I go for the homemade biscuts instead of corn bread
