Default Southern US food of 1950s and 1960s

I'm looking for information on what people cooked and ate in the South
in the 50s and 60s, for a novel I'm writing. Specifically, there is a
large poor mountain family in northwestern North Carolina in the early
60s and then a relatively wealthy family in the Outer Banks in the
eastern part of the state, later in the decade. One character is part
of both families so I will be contrasting both diets. Any information
or resources on the food of those regions and at that time period would
be much appreciated, and of course credited in the book.

Thank you.
