I wonder if there are links that discern the differences?

The most enjoyable meals State side was in Dallas and New Orleans. Always wanted to have a go at the top East for seafood, but as yet have not had a chance.

The Dixy Line seems to change...LOL The MidWest like every other place has it's ups and downs, kids hold me here, but were I live a little culture would go a long way. Real International news is pretty much absent, if not for the net and that also shows around here. "In the World today...." /insert the State. :o

So, how far North does one go before they leave the South, from West to East...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22484913 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:49:12 EDT Re: Just wondering if the South still exists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22477682
and I guess I am a carpetbagger cause I don't plan on moving back to the Midwest.

Speaking of hot peppers I have started a trend locally (Actually three years ago) BBQ burgers with peppers, to die for if home made.
Hmmm...got a recipe?
Yep. Now excuse me, I had to take my fifteen month old Grand daughter on her first real lake trip. OT :D :D The sun shone brightly and she is fair skinned with blond, strawberry hair, needles to say I was more concerned with her than fishing. Fish were caught though, just not by me. They had to be released because they were all to small for the skillet; baby girl loved the fish, the wind rushing past at high speed (Normally I don't do that, but she was having too much fun). We are all pretty tired....

Anyway, home cooked burger for six @ least, no less than four, fresh of course:

The applied maximum amount of non diet ground beef. (NO. no -not bean supplement...LOL)
1/4 cup flour.
1 large egg
Teaspoon of "Six Peppers" / Salt to taste, a fair heavy sprinkling in my neck of the woods.
1/3 a teaspoon of Cilantro
One chopped clove of garlic, ground up successfully in Southern style.
...Now, scare your pants off -Marmite (Can be bought locally), two tablespoons. Not everybody appreciates this 'luxury' and can skip it and use one tablespoon of Worcester sauce.
One heaped table spoon of A1 sauce (Original)

Always, always have to add bacon, the more the better.
Non plastic cheese; a slice of sharp Cheddar and a slice of mozzarella.

Sounds complicated, but it's really not. Add hot sliced peppers onto the lettuce.Walla, a great meal.

Huge Sesame buns, lettuce and tomatoes, nothing else is needed.

BTW -The South makes a lot of 'Stuff' unfortunately unless it's from LA; you don't get to eat it; right now the South does more than the North, if one excludes free tax rides. ;)

Er, no plastic woman as a rule, either.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22470450 Sat, 30 May 2009 20:31:31 EDT Re: Just wondering if the South still exists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22469556 said by NormanS:

There are 2 active railroads in this area. One is the "Austin something or other". One was the Missouri-Pacific until recently, called MoPac for short. One of our freeways is named MoPac because it is built on both sides of the track. One rail that has had the track pulled up was the Missouri-Kansas-Texas, otherwise known as The Katy.

The last time I ate some of that vinegar based stuff, it made me sick.

There are some really good BBQ joints in central Texas. Cooper's in Llano is one of the best.

When talking to new residents about BBQ, I tell them, "Good BBQ doesn't come from a clean place. If it's not smoky and a little 'dirty', it would be any good. In general, the grungier the place, the better the BBQ." Now, having said that, if it's too dirty, the health department might need to be called.

The best BBQ I've had in years was: feral hog (killed the day before), pit roasted, served on big plates out under a pecan tree on the bank of the Frio River downstream from Concan, TX. There were a couple of piggies and a cabrito in there, too, but the big old hog was the best. For dessert, we had "camp cobbler" of the peach variety. Man, was that a party. Folks from all over the world attended. (It was a "welcome to Texas" party for the new daughter-in-law of an old friend of mine. The party was on one of the ancestral ranches.)
Nice!! We have what are called "Pig Pickin's" which is essentially the same thing, though I don't know if the hog was feral or not, but yeah...thats good stuff, man. Every year a friend of ours has a loosely based Luau party. She provides the pit and the pig. A lot of the guys hang out and cook it all night, playing cards, etc and then have it at the party the next day. Everyone else brings sides, etc.....its a good time.

I prefer tomato based BBQ's above all.

There are actually 2 kinds of carolina style BBQ....here in SC, they prefer a mustard based BBQ sauce, which I find disgusting. Very good way to ruin a good piece of meat.

North Carolina uses a vinegar based spiced BBQ sauce that is pretty damn good.

You are kidding, right? Damned near 80% of the people currently living in California (other than "undocumented aliens") either came from somewhere else in the U.S. or were born to people who came from somewhere else in the U.S. Maybe even Texas, for all I know! :D

I would place Texas more in South Central. When people refer to "The South" I think more of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, parts of North Carolina and Virginia, etc. Definitely not Texas.

I couldn't be more proud to be from the south, and just so you guys know, a yankee is someone from above the Mason-Dixon, a damn yankee is one who moved down here and won't go back home! ;)

I was born and raised in Kennesaw, GA and currently live in Columbia, SC.
I have a degree from UGA (Go Dawgs, baby)
I lived 2 years in Europe, mainly in Naples, Italy (non military, on my own, still speak Italian relatively well)
I just purchased a house (not a trailer) above the 150k mark
I love sweet tea
I've never liked grits (except w/ maybe catfish)
My favorite meal is fried chicken and mama's mashed potatoes
I say "yall", "sir" and "ma'am"
I open doors for others as well as keep the from closing on them
I always have an open seat at the dinner table for friends and strangers (though I like to chat, so never really met one),
I wave to people I don't know on a regular basis (and they wave back)
I say "Excuse me" when I pass someone in a narrow area or bump into them, or need to leave the dinner table.
I love my front porch and the rockers from Cracker Barrel that adorn it

....and I've never screwed my sister....now, my cousin on the other hand.....

And never have I had so many people lie to me than when I worked in Texas for 4 years.

Those were probably the people that moved to Texas from California who are slowly ruining our southern way of life here in the Lone Star State.

Now don't get me wrong, I have met a few outsiders that are pretty nice, but a fair majority are yahoos that need to stay in California. What gets me is that all these folks move to Texas and then complain, bitch and moan about it. Well get the hell out if you don't like it!

I never considered Texas 'the south'. That's more 'the west'.
I would place Texas more in South Central. When people refer to "The South" I think more of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, parts of North Carolina and Virginia, etc. Definitely not Texas.

Has anyone noticed if you change two letters, Texas becomes Taxes?

Ft. Worth claims it's "Where the West Begins". Dallas is more "Southern". Then, there's West, which is a town on I-35 between Waco and the Metroplex (Dallas/Ft. Worth) and it is Czech. Just east of Round Rock, there are many Swede descendants and, until recently, some of the church services were still in Swedish.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22450729 Wed, 27 May 2009 10:01:41 EDT Re: Just wondering if the South still exists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22450482 --

And get to know them, they will treat you like family.

I'm proud to live in "The South". Never been afraid of yankees. If the War of Northern Aggression were fought today, I don't think the yankees would have enough resources to win. Texas, on the other hand, could probably hold it's own against them, with "a little help from our friends".
I would say something, but nothing could match the absurdity of all that :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22450038 Wed, 27 May 2009 04:00:52 EDT Re: Just wondering if the South still exists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-wondering-if-the-South-still-exists-22449807 said by NormanS:

Maybe. Does the Kansai plain count, or do I have to go all the way to Okinawa?

I knew some pretty Southern Belles when I was in the Army. Started at Ft. Polk, Louisiana, ended up at Ft. Myer, Virginia. But none of them can hold a candle to the likes of Okada Junko, Shiina Hekiru, Fujita Saki, or Yamamoto Maria.
