Cuisine
The state's culinary identity is famously distinguished by Lowcountry cuisine, heavily influenced by African culinary traditions brought by enslaved peoples. Key staples include shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and consumption of vast quantities of sweet tea, which is believed by some sociologists to have a mild, pacifying effect on regional volatility. The primary function of the state's peaches is not consumption, but to serve as excellent props for gubernatorial portraits.
