how do you Yankees live without...

Changed by a grits loving Yankee.

 

I love me some sweet tea. This summer there were a few good ole boys and myself in the kitchen I worked in, everyone else was a yankee or foreigner. Us Southerners would make some sweet tea and all the yanks would decry it as too sweet and that it was like syrup. Thats when you know the shits good. When you piss off northerners.

 

friiiiiiiiiiiiiied chicken

 

i lurve fried okra. mmmmmm i have family in moss point mississippi. my pawpaw used to boil us up a bunch of peanuts whenever we'd come to visit. i just think it has to do with what you are exposed to. i dont really care for grits beyond a few bites, but there are other southern staples that i really do enjoy.

 

I never had grits, but if its made with corn I know I'd looooooove it. Sweet tea is awesome.

 

Um... well... WE WON THE SILVER WAR

 

Oops meant Civil.

 

And invented hamburgers

 

We have sweat tea though.

And fuck grits, we have oatmeal.

 

Damn straight, right here in New Haven

 

my sister used to make us grits and bacon ALL the time when i was little

 

i love cheesey grits. and country bacon or whatever that flavor is. always extra cheese and butter. and okra is my favorite hands down any way you make it :drooooll

i dont liek tea in any form though usually.. especially sweet. yuck.




and fuck a clam chowder gimme some seafood gumbo

 

I've never experienced gumbo, but I really do want to. I also wanna try chitlins, but I think my northern tastes will spit them out in front of everyone.

 

I don't know what a grit is.

 

Gumbo is soooo goood.
Especially when the roux is homemade.

Delish like even better in the winter when it is cold.

 

I don't know if the pizza shops that sell things like pizza, cheesestakes, hoagies, etc., are available down South but if you've never had one, you have to try a stromboli one day. It's like a pizza baked with the cheese on the inside and the bread on the outside lol. Those things RULE!!!

 

you mean like a calzone?

 

I'm not sure what a calzone is, but a stromboli is made the same way that a pizza is, pizza dough, mozerrella cheese, tomato sauce, and any topping like pepperoni, ground beef, or sausage. They're also comparable in size to a pizza. Umn-umn-umn. Delicious!!!

 

kind of like a calzone, but typically bigger.
