If restauraunt menus were written southern lingo and then used up north, do you think we all could adjust?

There's a Crackel Barrel up here and Notherners love it! I know that the love to go down south just to eat "homecooked" meals with real homeade stuff. Have you ever had a homeade bake fresh apple pie? Homeade icecream in whatever flavor you want, baked fresh bread, fresh squeezed lemonade from home groan lemons? What about a fresh salad from fresh garden vegetables? Have you ever had a fresh pork roast from a pig that was just slaughtered, deer that was just shot and cleaned, boy that meat will feel up your "frigadare". Refrigerator for us Northern folks. What about fresh canned jams and jellies. Fresh fried chicken without all of the pesticides, and stuff that they use to shoot it up with hormones, that give people all kinds of hypertension, and other medical problems. Do the research yourself. Make fun of them all you want to, but when we're up here freezing or go-nads off, there down there living it up, especially in Florida, man I wish I was there..........sigh.......................\n\nEdit: Don't forget the free fishing in the creeks and fresh water ponds. The best fish I've ever tasted! Yum!

I'm from the South, technically. I'm from Southern California (LA), which is nearly as south as you can get in the United States without going into Mexico.\n\nI think people ought to redefine "South," since, after all, people from Orange County and Los Angeles are living in the "South." Is the South you're referring to the South that fought against the North in the Civil War in an effort to maintain slavery? Or are we talking post-bellum American South, which can include the states of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California today?

At the point of Customs and Immigration, trying to get into LA and telling the officer that I thought that all Americans were a bit screwy and would he like to take me out to breakfast anyway.  But he didn't and I called him a cheap crusty chicken.\n\nNo, not really.  But that would be a good scene ya?

"Bacwood"? You have a pretty big set, insulting other people's intelligence when you apparently can't find the little "Check Spelling" button Yahoo provides. \n\nThe Midwest tends to share more values with the south than with the coasts. If you want to slam an entire region of the country, at least get your facts straight. \n\nAnd us "redneck hicks" in Alaska would LOVE to divorce ourselves from the "values" of the coasts - I'll bet the south feels the same way.

Depends on what they are saying about Dixie.

I'd say it would look a lot like the Confederate States of America; a Christian theoccracy with inherent racism, sprawling suburbia, huge SUVs everywhere, and a cultural wasteland.\n\nKinda Puritan, but with southern accents.

Funny you should mention that. I am having turnip greens with a side of baked chicken. It is SO good! I guess some of the other posters are not aware of the joys of Southern cuisine. Yum!

I do. From both sides unfortunately.\n\nWrath, I used to live in Northern Florida, so I ran in to alot of those southern types. And you are right. How can you resist such charm?

Heck yeh!  Slide me that jar Clyde.  Some of the other delicacies you can get 'round my neck of the woods is "Mountain Oysters" (Them's fried balls from cattle), pickled pigs feet, cow tongue, cow brain (called tripe), and pig intestine (called chitlins).\n\nBut, before you go makin' fun of us rednecks remember so called refined folks pay through the nose to eat eggs cut out of a fish belly (caviar), snails (escargot), and if you got the money to get to hoidy-toidy France you'll probably spend a mess of cash on frog legs.\n\nSo, don't laugh at us.  What's good for supper? is really a question that has a lot to do with where you pull your chair up to the table.\n\nAll this fussin' about grub has made me right hungry.  I think I'm gonna run down to the fillin' station and get me a handful of fried pork rinds and a grape nehi.  I might even finish it off with a moonpie.

they would make great food, but not sure cultural differences they would encounter, might be difficult.

Move south and  learn from the Mexicans.  Or import some Europeans.  Or now maybe Ghanians.(is that even a word?)
