Experiencing Local Flavor!

Mississippi has a rich food culture that showcases the history and resources of the state. Local food in Mississippi contributes to how families celebrate, how people gather, and the economy of the state. Food preparation is deeply rooted in family traditions and products available in the local region. From the barbecue of the northern parts of the state to the seafood and fresh produce of the coast, and stretching across to the tamales of the Delta, Mississippi has a food experience and a “Local Flavor” that you don’t want to miss.
