Eastern whole hog or Lexington-style shoulder: which side do you defend, and who taught you?
People in North Carolina have opinions about barbecue, sweet potatoes and their favorite overlook, and those opinions are worth keeping just as you would say them. ToldForward will not tidy them up. A daily question gets you started, your own words do the rest, and only the people you choose will one day get to read where you stood.
North Carolina
Ask about barbecue in North Carolina and settle in. In the east, the old tradition is whole hog with a sauce of vinegar and pepper. In the Piedmont, Lexington-style cooks smoke pork shoulders and serve a tomato-touched dip with red slaw. Most people grew up on one side and still defend it. Where do you stand, and who taught you? A simple answer about lunch can carry a whole picture of home for the people who read it one day.
North Carolina grows more sweet potatoes than any other state, and the sweet potato is the official state vegetable, thanks partly to letters from fourth graders in Wilson. Maybe your fall meant digging in a field, a pie at the holidays or a roadside stand on the way home. Food holds so much of where we come from. Tell the people you choose what was on your table and what those meals meant to you.
The Blue Ridge Parkway winds 469 miles through the mountains, and many people here have a favorite overlook. On the coast, the Wright brothers made the first powered flight at Kill Devil Hills in 1903. Big moments and quiet ones both belong in a life story. Was there a drive, a beach trip or a day you first felt grown up? Your own firsts, told in your own words, matter just as much to the people after you.
