Beyond the main courses, the region is known for its sweet treats. You'll find numerous opportunities to sample homemade fudge, locally made candies, and freshly baked goods. Don't miss out on trying some of the regional specialties like ``mountain oysters'' (though these are not actual oysters, but rather a delicacy of bull testicles, so best to check menus if you are adventurous!) or the ubiquitous ``biscuits and gravy'' for a true taste of Southern hospitality. The local pancake houses are legendary, and many offer special holiday-themed breakfast options that are a delightful way to start your day of exploration.
