A side of green beans...

...with bacon. No, it didn't say one the menu that there was bacon with the green beans, but when they arrived, the side of green beans had bacon all through it. Didn't taste too bad, but I'd been kinda hoping for a vegetable. (The beans were either canned or cooked way past death, or both.) I'm thinking I'm going to be having trouble getting much in the way of veggies down here.

Grits

But do they remember to serve you grits with your breakfast?

On the other hand its a lucky thing they had beans at all.

The hotel has a free (well, included with room, actually) "continental" breakfast -- so nothing hot, and I won't likely be getting grits.

You must be somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line, and no, as far as I can tell they don't eat vegtables as we know them. The most bizare version of a vegtable that theBunz and I encountered while we were there was breaded deep-fried creamed corn. If I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't have thought it possible.

oh my gods!

Yup I'm south alright. Apparently some people here commute to work from Arkansas. That's definitely south. :)

Arkansas...Arkansas...let me think...Oh, yes. That's the little rural place a few hundred miles NORTH of me, yes?

But you're right about the cooking. "Country" cooking, at least. Southeast US rural cuisine is based on the concept that if something doesn't already have enough fat in it to cause a massive heart attack merely by inhaling the fumes, then it needs to be wrapped in bacon and deep-fried.
