Like any other state, Georgia has its quirks. One of those quirks is our delectable and sometimes strange dishes. For example, shrimp and grits may be disgusting to someone not from Georgia, but to us, there’s no better way to eat grits. Check out these nine strange food combinations only people in Georgia will love.
A true southern dish is grits and shrimp. We also love to mix catfish, pork, and cheese in our grits. Pictured above is a dish of shrimp and grits from the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.
Yes, an Arnold Palmer is a pretty popular drink all over--but here in Georgia we only drink Chick-fil-a made Arnold Palmers! As a matter-of-fact, Arnold Palmers are the drink of choice for Georgians when they visit Chick-fil-a.

A pretty popular southern side dish is vidalia onions and tomatoes. We'll eat them plain with salt and pepper just like pictured above.

It's common here in Georgia to make cornbread with cracklin. Cracklin for non-southern folks is a piece of fried pork fat. It might not sound appeasing, but it's really delicious!
Biscuits and gravy is a common southern comfort here in Georgia. We especially love to make homemade biscuit gravy with flour, milk, and butter.
We love, love, love to eat greens with ham hocks. Again, a ham hock for non-southern folks is a pig knuckle. There's nothing more delicious than greens with smoked meat.
A true southern snack is a piece of white bread and some Karo syrup. This is not something I personally like to eat, but I do remember seeing people eat this when I was a child!
