Southern hospitality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Southern hospitality is a phrase used in American English to describe the idea that residents of the Southeastern United States are particularly warm and welcoming to visitors to their homes, or to the South in general. A large component of the idea of Southern hospitality is the provision of Southern cuisine to visitors, hence there are a number of cookbooks that promise recipes advancing this purpose.

In 2001, rapper Ludacris recorded a hit song titled Southern Hospitality.
