*For my Oasis Hillbilly Kookbook Tikilongbeach sez:

Chicken fried steak, deviled eggs, pickled okra, pecan pie, biscuits and gravy, turducken, monkey bread, banana pudding, peach cobbler, fried pies, Little Smokies sausages in BBQ sauce, bread pudding, pigs in a blanket, corn dogs and kettle corn are some redneck/hillbilly dishes you can experiment with. *

Yikes, that's a fine list!!!! You know, BBQ sauce just by itself is an interesting idea.

I'm on the pecan pie, I've got a special recipe already. Ditto deviled eggs. Got an AMAZING cobbler recipe, total white trash cookin' at it's finest.

Corn dogs - wow, they WOULD be great. Could just add some of my KFC secret spices to the corn dog batter to make it killah, I'm already sprinkling them on popcorn for an extra kick...

How about this - homemade mustard & ketchup & mayonnaise to go with the dogs?

I'm originally from Dallas which is redneck instead of hillbilly, but quite a bit of the foods are the same. Actually Dallas is quite cosmopolitan, it's some of the suburbs that are redneck/white trash.
Mayo on corn dogs? I'm not sure about that. I eat them with only mustard. Texas-style deviled eggs have diced jalapenos in them. Jalapenos added to corn bread is also popular.
Yes, Texans like jalapenos!
Ambrosia is a very popular dessert in the South and with its pineapple, mandarin oranges and coconut it could even be considered tiki. Pecans are a popular add-in if coconut isn't used. Maybe you could experiment with diced unsalted macadamia nuts.
My parents were very health conscience so I never ate the above foods growing up. It wasn't until I went to college and got out in the working world did I have Southern cooking.
