Corinth. Mississippi

 

  A Slugburger is a traditional Southern food found in the area of Northeast Mississippi. Consisting of a patty made from a mixture of beef or pork and an inexpensive extender such as soybeans, it is deep fried in oil. It is typically served on a bun with mustard, pickles and onion.  According to town legend the term "slugburger" comes from the slang term for a nickel.
