There's one thing about us Southerners we'll eat most anything that walks, crawls, flys, swims or grows out of the ground. Now that don't leave anything but rocks and I believe if you boil one long enough you could make soup out of them.

I walked up to the register at Publix one day. I had one item. Coming from the other direction was two little old ladies pushing a full buggy. We both stopped, and I gestured them to go ahead. One of 'em says, "You go. You've only got one thing". I said, "No Ma'am, my Mama would hit me". They both laughed, and went ahead of me.

Or if you fired up the cooker, got a good bed of hickory coals going, slathered that rock with your own version of a vinegar-based sauce, and roasted that rock most of the night (turning it maybe once), then come morning that rock would be just falling apart and ripe for pickin'. Yum!
Don't even get me started on the virtues of granite vs. quartz.

How about fatback!
You missed what I said in the Bacon thread...
"We'll take about "fatback" and "streak o' lean" in another post.
"
It's "tonic" in Boston, fyi.
We have many things here in Louisiana that are craved for all over the world. But of all those things, this is at the very top!
You should really let those lobsters grow up a little before you eat them.

Looks like a pile of bait. I never thought of cooking my bait. You guys might be on to something. I think the fishy's will like that.

"Tonic"? Now that's a new one on me!
Yeah, calling the soft drinks "coke" is a common thing and covers most cola type drinks.
I guess with so many different brands made in the South...
we just call everything "coke"?

The only place
The only place I've seen chicken like Popeye's is at Popeye's and this southern boy don't eat there.
Actually, Popeye's was founded in Atlanta, GA. That's not
Southern to you?

Not that I'm disrespectin' anyone else from anywheres' else! I know I'm in with a pretty good group of people who happen to appreciate a good sidearm when they see it.

Wait a minute there. Even though the village (too small to be considered a town) I live in only has (2) of those type pumps, don't be picking on our flashing caution light; that's hi-tek for us!
So long as you don't eat that plant snot called okra; excuse me while I...I...

"Hose pipe" is British. First time I came across it in a Harry Potter book, I had to ask someone. It's a garden hose.
Anybody here in the states use the term?
