Things you need to know if you move to the South

Nope . Not made in the South . And definitely not popular in South Louisiana except by transplants .

This here quote is from Wikipedia - and we all know that if it's on the interwebs then is must be true!

"It is regionally popular, specifically in Maryland, as well as in the Mid-Atlantic States, the Southern States, and parts of New England and the Gulf Coast."

It don't matter none whereabouts it's made, so long as it ain't NEW YORK CITY! :D
 
Didn't see it may have missed it, but don't forget you can say pretty much anything about someone if it's followed by a "Bless her/his heart"
 
First time I went to Georgia I had to ask a local for directions. After giving
me the directions in great detail he ended by saying "it's a fur piece".
I didn't know what that meant, but I found out.
 
Speaking of Peas - I love all peas, beans, but-
The King Pea is the Purple Hull.
Bush cans them, I have bought them out this way but they are hard to find.
Walmart being the most likely place.

My great grandparents were both born in mid 1800s, both passed when I was 5 so only distant memories. During that time period in most rural areas of the US one only knew folks living within a few miles of their homes. My grandparents also married within their neighborhood but by turn of the century travel was the norm. They moved from Western N.C. to Detroit then to Ky and finally to Asheville.
I’m a Virginian by birth but have lived in several states, finally settling in Florida where should have moved many years ago. nuf sed
 
NEVER EVER. It taste funky. Had it like that once. Spit it out. I use regular oil for best taste.
Then the person cooking it must have used old / burnt oil . Peanut oil is actually known for having a mild to neutral flavor .
 
Peanut oil has a relatively neutral flavor and a high smoke Point.
Combine that with relatively low price and good availability, lots of folks use it.
An oil that might be more Southern is Cottonseed Oil. Squeezed from the cottonseed after it’s extracted from the cotton fiber during the Ginning process.
The remaining solids called Cottonseed Meal is used for animal feed and sometimes fertilizer. It contains a lot of Protein.
