Answer 5

BBQ is the first thing that comes to mind- but NC is also a coastal state, with great oysters and produces lots of Sweet Potatoes- below are some recipes

Chef Dirt's Oyster Fritters

From "Seafood and Things from the Outer Banks" by Chef Dirt

1 cup bacon fat & 1 cup corn oil (or 2 cups corn oil)

1 green onion, minced

1 cup solf-rising cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, slightly beaten

Kernels from 1 ear fresh corn

1/2 pint oysters, drained

Heat fat and oil in a 2-quart saucepan to 375 degrees. Chop drained oysters and combine with flour, cornmeal, salt, egg, corn and green onion. Stir until just mixed. You should be able to form a moist, sticky ball using 2 spoons; if too thin then add more flor, if too thick add water. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain in paper towels.

Grated Sweet Potato Pudding

From Beck’s Comfort Food, Engelhard

4 large sweet potatoes

2 cups boiling water

1 stick butter

2 cups sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup flour

Preheat oven to 375°.

Grate the sweet potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, pour the boiling water over the sweet potatoes then immediately add butter and stir until butter has melted. In a separate bowl combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and coconut; mix well. Pour into the sweet potato mixture. Gradually add flour until mixture reaches the desired consistency. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch greased baking dish and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
