Butter and sorghum on biscuits, eh? Well, Spurgeon talked about eating butter and honey on biscuits so I think we both know what I'm going to stick with.

Does London Broil count?
If not, then no, I don't think I've ever eaten British food. I figured it was similar to American food.

No, not worth the risk. The boy would probably pizen everyone the first time he tried to fix a mess of poke sallat.

It beats addressing everyone as "you guys" especially when women are being addressed. Y'all is grammatically correct. We've all just been taught to hate it because it's Southern.

The Apostle Paul understood:
We give thanks to God always for you all...
[1 Thess. 1:2a]
The Revised New Jersey version translates it as "youse guys."

Usually used in an address to the crowd at union meetings by the piers. It often has a &%$# between youse & guys.
The Archie Bunker version was " youz people ". That's the NY/NJ hybrid.
Rich, you're from south Jersey. Anything south of exit 11 is below the Mason-Dixon line as far as this former Hudson County resident is concerned.

"Youze people" is probably my favorite way to be addressed. Seriously. I grin everytime someone does it. I find it weirdly charming in a Brooklyn cab driver kind of way.

Our area consists of two main groups of people: whites and Hispanics (mostly Mexicans). We know our way around Mexican food.

Andrew, your photo album link doesn't work. At least for me.
Its because the H is missing in his link try http://www.puritanboard.com/members/athornquist-albums-pictures-athornquist-his-sisters-nephew.html
I bet he still eats steamed veggies with his mexican food though.

That's messed up. I never thought I would be accused of such hideousity.
That's the fix. Thanks, Kelly.
My bad. I fixed the link.

By the way, my initial question was actually serious (although I admittedly worded it in such a way that would make things . . . fun). Where does this southern pride/love come from? It is foreign to this Californian. I had (obviously distant) cousins on both the North and South so I really am just an indifferent historical observer. I don't understand where you are coming from.

Actually, I thought West Florida was just Yankee name for Lower Alabama.

Jon, that never stopped me from jumping in and stirring the pot. You don't believe me? Watch this...
"Abraham Lincoln was a great American!"
Now, watch my dear southern brethren froth at the mouth and have a conniption fit. It's always great entertainment.
I didn't know we were allowed to say that on the PB. I was under the impression that positive comments about our 16th President were strictly forbidden. In response to this new found freedom to speak positivily of the North, I'd like to add that General Grant was a supurb leader and general.
Not forbidden Sir, just not spoken of in polite society.
I love to eat grits, especially when I'm contemplating the Christian faith of Genl. Lee, old Stonewall and J.E.B. Stuart. It goes down well with a tall glass of unsweetened iced tea, not that sweet stuff the Georgians like to drink.

I'm going to Georgia and wear my "Friend of Sherman" T-shirt. Anyone care to join me?

When's your funeral?
On a similar note I have considered going to the Liberty campus wearing my "Michael Servetus: On Fire for Jesus since 1553" shirt (yes I really do have one)

Oooo Robert made a death joke. *slaps on wrist* (But really, that's hilarious.)

All I can say is that if you do such a thing, Bill, it was nice knowing you.
Oh, BTW, my son and I went to see a movie last night in Edison, NJ and there was a group of young people there in line who were dropping the f-bomb about every third word during their conversation. May son says to me, "Do you hear those New Jersey accents?" LOL
