By the way, KFC is fried underpressure, although pressure cookers are a necessity of every traditional Kentucky kitchen, chicken fried in Kentucky traditional methods requires pure pork lard, a chicken cut into pieces rather than sawed, flour and only two herbs and spices. My grandmother's fried chicken was good enough for the neighbors to help put up hay in return for the chance to sit down at her dinner table (lunch for you city-slickers). I know her receipe, but I can never recreate her style and skill. btw.. the two herbs and spices.... black pepper & salt. Oh, yeah, one more major part of great fried chicken... that old iron skillet.

Ha ha - my husband's family passes on their iron skillets as treasured heirlooms! In fact, they avoid ceramic cooktops on their electric ranges because someone said that you can't use the iron skillets on them.

My mother in law taught me that I needed three iron skillets,one for fried chicken or gravy, one for fried potatoes and one for cornbread. Definitely do not use them for anything else. I remember reading in the instructions for my ceramic range about not using iron skillets. But I do anyhowI also put the skillets in the electric clean oven occasionally..Cleans them puppies up like new!!!

I've had Pimento Cheese (unbelievably rich) and Benedictine in KY - are those signature dishes or do they have those other places in the south?

I forgot about Benedictine! It is definitely a KY thing (yes, Stx, it is originally from Louisville ) Yum - especially if you love cucumbers!

Pimento cheese spread is something I've seen across the south, but I'm not sure of its origins.

By the way, a great place to try a lot of KY signature foods in a historic inn is at the Old Stone Inn in Simpsonville, KY. Not too far from Louisville, just off of I-64 in Shelby County. It has a great wine list and they do a unique blend of modern fusion with classic KY and southern foods. When we were last there, they had grits with green chiles and melt-in-your-mouth buttermilk biscuits.
