Well you don't have to make up stuff about him not liking apple pie, because he's already convicted himself by admitting to not liking chocolate gravy.  That right there is sufficient indictment.

And I learned yesterday there are some people who don't know any pudding but instant pudding.

Maybe how so many people stay so slim these days.  If you don't have any GOOD food, there's no temptation to overeat. 

Maybe that's what I should do, go on a canned soup diet.

I feel so validated.  You are in the south and it's not a big deal there.  It is just what it says, chocolate gravy.  From what I've had, it's not awful but I'll never have a reason or inkling to make it.  If I want chocolate pudding, I'll do that, if I want gravy, I'll do that.  The two aren't great together.

lol  I guess, it needs to be a family tradition or something for folks to think it's a big deal. ;)

Seems like the folks that like chocolate gravy like it because it was a special tradition from their childhood or something.

I don't know about most people, but for me it was no special tradition.  Just one of the foods we have here that I like. 

Along with fried okra, cheese grits, buttermilk biscuits and a lot of other stuff those yankees miss out on.

No grits, I can understand - many do not like grits.  But why in the world would anybody not like fried okra?  The mind boggles...

Well....boggled mind it is. I HATE fried okra, squash, or just about any other fried vegetable, excepting fried green tomatoes. I can handle them in small doses..

lol  same here.  I cannot for the life of me, understand what is appealing about the tasteless slimy okra?  I'm convinced it's more about the breading... on all of those things. 

Grits are ok.  But I'd never choose to make or eat them unless I was at someone's house to not be rude.  I make beautiful buttermilk biscuits.  It's hard to mess those up though.

Nothern foods I don't hear many southerners mention are the various beans/lentils in soups, pastas, pastries, and cheeses.  My friend makes a practically famous dish at the holidays.  It's a corn casserole with gouda cheese.  The more north you get, the more breads and cheeses there are.  Strudel is to die for.

Technically, I was born in Colorado, so what does that make me?  Is anyone that's not in the south from Texas & east, Yankees?

I love grits, fried okra, squash, fried green tomatoes. Okra and squash are good not being fried. I am a good southren girl. There isn't many beans or veggies that I won't eat.


I enjoy a good pot a beans with ham and cornbread with a side of fresh onion and a tall glass of buttermilk.

Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?

About the qualities of being a yankee:  Anyone to the north of the person speaking is a yankee to the person speaking.  I believe I've already mentioned the two cowboys in San Antonio, who were talking about Dallas:  "Naw, I've never been up there.  I can't stand them yankees."

So to Mel, people in Birmingham are yankees.   :updown:
