Back in my meat-eating days this recipe for Yankee Pot Roast from the New England chapter of "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American" was one of my staples. I followed the recipe linked pretty closely but I think I always substituted something for the salt pork. The mere thought of it makes me consider renouncing my veggie ways.

As for a Georgia dish maybe Hoppin' John or baaald peanuts.
