By using creative cooking methods and seasonings many of the recipes have turned into culinary delights, especially in the south.
But one drawback to the rich, robust southern dishes have been the health issues. The traditional versuib involved using large amounts of salt, fat and calorie loading ingredients. While these made the taste irresistible, the health concerns continued to mount. And with today's health conscious consumers, these problems could no longer be ignored.
