Anyone Ever Made A Southern Meal Without A Deep Fryer?

Attention Southerners who read this, I need your help.  A community center near here has a foreign cooking class in which various foreigners in the Hakodate area show Japanese housewives how to cook food from their home country.  Being a foreigner, I've been talked (more like volunteered) into leading one of the classes.  I've decided to do Southern food since most of the Americans around here are from Massachusetts and I have a chance to actually feed them something they've never had before.  The current menu is pulled pork, cole slaw, and banana pudding pie for dessert.  However, I'm still taking suggestions, so if you have any, please send them my way.  I promise I won't misrepresent or let down our region of the country.  At least not in terms of food.  Anything else, well, that's another matter.

Hmmm...well there is Brunswick Stew, Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, Okra, Sweet Potato Pie, Hush Puppies, and my favorite Deer Burgers. I think everyone should be introduced to the smell of collard greens cooking and pot liquor (the juice left in the pot).
