It's Official: These are the Most Unpopular Foods in Every Southern State

Alabama: Chipotle

We know exactly what this is about: Chipotle's interesting take on cheese dip. (It's akin to nacho cheese.) Alabamians want melty white cheese dip on their Tex-Mex, and that's about it.

Arkansas: Cilantro

This herb is louder than most, we'll give them that. As far as the spice cabinet goes, cilantro isn't quite as innocent as flat-leaf parsley or oregano.

Delaware: Hawaiian Pizza

When in Delaware, there's only one type of pizza that matters, and it's Grotto Pizza. (This pizza is known for its characteristic swirl of pizza sauce on top of the cheese.)

Something everyone will be able to agree on: our Pull-Apart Pizza Bread.

Florida: Licorice

Between black licorice or Red Vines, we're choosing the chewy ropes every time, but Florida residents want nothing to do with licorice at all. Perhaps, they're more of the gummy bear type of folks?

Georgia: Tuna Salad

While Georgians do enjoy their fill of mayo-based salads—chicken, pimiento cheese, and egg to name a few—tuna is not included. To their defense, tuna salad can be a little dicey (and smelly).

Recipe: Classic Pimiento Cheese

Kentucky: Hummus

What did chickpeas ever do to Kentuckians? Try to pass off as a real dip in Bourbon Country, apparently.

Recipe: Smoky Black-Eyed Pea Hummus

Louisiana: Cookies with Raisins

Because there's no greater betrayal than when you think you've bitten into a chocolate chip cookie, only to find dried up grapes instead.

Recipe: Barbara Bush's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Maryland: The Corner Piece of a Brownie

If you're in the camp that loves the extra crispy corner of the brownie pan, don't move to Maryland.

Recipe: Ultimate Dark Chocolate Brownies

Mississippi: Sour Cream

When it comes to this hatred, we can only assume that Mississippians are hyper-loyal to mayonnaise. It'd be a shame to miss out on sour cream pound cake, though.

Recipe: Sour Cream Pound Cake

Missouri: The Last Bite of a Hot Dog

All good things must come to an end, even a ballpark hot dog. And that's a particularly sad moment for Missourians.

Recipe: Sloppy Cola Joe Dogs

North Carolina: Cottage Cheese

To some, this chunky dairy product looks like milk gone bad and doesn't taste like much to boot.

Recipe: Lime Gelatin and Cottage Cheese Salad

Oklahoma: Veggie Burgers

Oklahoma—a state full of cattle ranches—doesn't mess with a veggie burger. (Why waste a fresh hamburger bun?)

Recipe: Black Bean Burgers with Comeback Sauce

South Carolina: Matcha Tea

South Carolinians like their tea sweet, and that's the end of the road. No frothy, bright green tea allowed, no matter how healthy it is.

Recipe: Southern Sweet Tea

Tennessee: Foraged Food

Random? Yes. Justified? Also, yes. Because it's certainly hard to forage a nice bucket of hot chicken and skillet of cornbread in the wilderness.

Texas: Steak Cooked Well-Done

Because no Texan would disgrace a good cut of steak like that. And, frankly, no Southerner should, either.

Recipe: Cast-Iron Cowboy Steak

Virginia: Dabbing Pizza Grease with a Napkin

If you're eating greasy pizza, you might as well go whole-hog. While we get the sentiment, this dislike is oddly specific. (Here's a loophole: Homemade pizza isn't nearly as greasy as delivery!)

West Virginia: Tofu

West Virginians agree on one thing: Nothing should pretend to be meat. That's like sweetening your pitcher of tea with artificial packets.
