You say of course in Carolina it's mustard. I would say that Mustard sauce is popular in the Columbia, SC, area, but the dominant theme in the Carolinas is pulled pork with a vinegar-based sauce. My family is from the Pee Dee region of SC, and that's what we tend to. Edwin On Thursday,

Some believe the North/South designations are designated by Mason-Dixon line. As in there's no good sweet tea or grits above the mason-dixon line. Maryland is just right below the mason-dixon line, and therefore southern. In reality, it doesn't matter as all of 50 states (even Hawaii) were below
