What would General Pickett have eaten? Well, I’m sure I don’t know but a visitor to Gettysburg recently ate at General Pickett’s restaurant - can dead generals have restaurants? - and decided that it was a rather surreal experience. So the young fellow asks a rather interesting question, What would General Pickett consider good southern food?

Being from the south myself, I can’t speak for General Pickett, I’d say good southern food is anything you can swallow.

I’m glad people from the south still have a hankering to make their way up to Gettysburg from time to time. They can eat at all the restaurants they want - and Gettysburg has plenty - or just walk the battlefield until they bump into Jennie Wade’s ghost. Whatever they do, I’m sure they’ll have a blast.
And one recent blast was had by a woman from France. Imagine that.
