You are allowed to put lemon in it however.
You know you're from the South when you here someone say, "We didn't do it that way in _____(insert large Yankee city name here). True story. At a meeting of the Clay County, FL Commission several years ago, one of the Commissioners, known for being a little obnoxious, didn't like some procedural move and she said out loud, "We didn't do things that way in Boston." At that point an elderly gentleman rose and asked the Chairman for permission to speak which was granted. He introduced himself, told them that he was born in Clay County, went through the depression there, enlisted in the Marines in 1942 in Clay County, was wounded in the South Pacific, returned after the war, met and married his wife there, all his children were born there and most of them still lived in the county along with most of his grandchildren. He summed it up by directing his last remark at the Commissioner. "So Madam Commissioner, I've spent almost my entire life in Clay County and we don't give a **** how you did it in Boston." He received a standing ovation from the crowd.
