What should I cook for guest from another country?

An older couple that have been like grandparents to me were asked to host a dinner for some church guests from South America. They are not really up to the work, and have asked for my help. I can cook just about anything, but I'm not sure what to fix. I think attempting to compose any S. American dish is a bad idea. I was thinking sharing some good ol southern cooking might be the way to go, as we live in the rural Mt's of NC. Any ideas?

I think you are right on.

Add a twist to it. Have chicken chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy.

Try this recipe:

Chicken chicken fried steak crumbs

The crumb mix is also sooo yummy for fried green tomatoes.

6 cups panko bread crumbs
2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp seasoned salt
2 tsp garlic salt or powder
1 1/2 tsp thyme

Mix well and put some in a bowl or I like to use a pie plate.

Pound out chicken breasts so they are all a unifrom thickness.

Then in a bowl bowl or dish of some kind whisk up some butter milk and eggs.

Dip the chicken in the wet mix then press firmly into the bread crumbs on both sides.

You can double dip but the crust just gets to thick.

Pan fry using butter or olive oil until golden brown and then top with chcken gravy or fresh squeezed lemon juice.


Ooo also some fried green toms if you have them yet? Our weather is so bad where I live there are NO plants outside yet.
