Does an NRA sticker count? Mine says, "I'm the NRA, and I vote."

Basic rule of thumb is that there are no single syllable words in the South. Jim becomes Je-im, **** becomes she-it, etc. As a young lad from Pennsylvania, it was very confusing when I arrived in Knoxville to play football for Tennessee. You see, in the North "on two" simply means "hut - hut" and off you go. When faced with a guy from Loosianna (Dewey Warren), one needed to interpret his "hu-it, hu-it". Thankfully, I settled in at Defensive End.

Yeah you deep thinkers always end up on defense.

Very true. I had a young woman from Alabama working for me once and I told her she was the only person whom I'd ever heard turn the word 'dog' into a three syllable word...

Jealousy manifests itself in SOOooooo many ways, eh jester? But that is OK if you like to be one of the HERD, following along where everyone else goes, at the exact same time as the HERD moves, and always able to say "hey, he told me to do that"!

I had grits for breakfast this morning. Funny to see them served at a school in New Jersey.

Where is my scrapple???

Bull

Mmmm,Mmmm Scrapple! Hard to find in these parts, but very common when i was growing up, and still very common with my relatives in Lancaster County, PA. I miss my favorite breakfast place on LBI, where scrapple was king!

Food Angel

Bull,

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but I've seen scrapple in the Shop Rite!

Bull

FA, you disappoint me! Shop Rite????? THAT is not scrapple as it should be served, any more than the frozen food at Costco should be served to human beings!

jester911

Yep, thats me. Just one of the herd. Baaaa.

Bull

That would be a flock....and you are going to get Mike upset with those kind of references!

OK, I give up. What is scrapple?

Bull

All you ever wanted to know about scrapple (Wikipedia excerpts):

"Scrapple is a savory mush in which cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour, are simmered with pork scraps and trimmings, then formed into a loaf. Small scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland".

"Scrapple is typically cut into quarter-inch slices, and pan-fried until the outsides form a crust. It is sometimes coated with flour or fried in butter or oil. A breakfast food, it is eaten plain or with apple butter, ketchup, pancake syrup, or even mustard and accompanied by eggs".

"Scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America. The culinary ancestor of scrapple was the Low German dish called Panhas, which was adapted to make use of locally available ingredients. The first recipes were created more than two hundred years ago by colonists, who settled near Philadelphia and Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries[1].

"Scrapple is strongly associated with Philadelphia and surrounding eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware".

That would be some of my relatives/ancestors, who have been traced back to the founding of Philadelphia.

No worries. Sometimes you just gotta say what the flock. Oh and here is your sign.

Bull

Thank you.....now get the flock out of here!

And quit whining about the snow....................
