"Southern" food suggestions?
I'm hosting book club on Sunday night, and we do a sort of potluck. Everyone brings something to share, and it's usually just some kind of appetizer or side dish. It's best if it's finger-food so that we don't have to worry as much about balancing things.
What should I make? The last couple book clubs, I've run out of time and just swung by Safeway to pick up cookies or something. We'll be discussing To Kill a Mockingbird, so I thought it would be fun if I could come up with something "southern" to make. Any suggestions?

Re: "Southern" food suggestions?
Divinity would be good for a dessert (finger food).

Do you have a Gordons Food Service location near you? If you do, they have frozen hush puppies that all you need to do is bake (they are SO good!).
Or, what about this (When I think of ham, I think of the south.):

Potlucks around here have so much variety
Chicken fingers
Cheese balls
Spinish dip
Little ham sandwiches
Little sandwiches (pimento cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad)
Little quishes (sp?)
Sausage balls
Pigs in blanket (little cocktail weiners wrapped in crescent rolls)
Great, thanks for making me hungry. I could go for some pigs in blanket, cheese balls and spinish dip
Yuuummmmm, cheeseball!
The first couple of things I thought of was pigs in a blanket, sausage balls (easy to make), cheese straws, pimento and cheese sandwiches, rotel dip (velveta cheese melted with rotel sometimes we put browned hamburger or sausge in it.
Let me think of some more easy to make things...
pimento cheese and cheese straws. cheese straws are super easy to make! I use this recipe all the time.

What about some sweet tea to drink?
I can vouch for this recipe...Lauren shared it last year and I made a ton of it for Christmas- SO GOOD.
Thanks, ladies!! These are some awesome ideas.
And Kel, thanks for that article!! I might even print it out to share with my book club. Even though I'd read this book probaby dozens of times (one of my all-time favorites, and I used to teach it every year), I had never really seen the food as a symbol...which it totally is!!
