Pennsylvania born and bred, of a transplanted Floridian for a mother.
I now live in Nebraska.
Okra? Yes, I'm familiar with it. It's nasty.
Boiled peanuts? Not so much.
Grits? Oh, yeah. Mom was forever trying to foist that nastiness in a bowl on me. And failed.
While Mom did manage to raise me with the manners of a good southern gentleman, she failed to impart upon me a southern pallette. Except, perhaps, for some good sippin' whiskey.
I love southern people, as a whole. Very colorful language and customs. But...DAMN...y'all eat some nasty assed food. Perhaps, Sherman is to blame?
