my southernese is working
Ok y'all know my Mom and Dad are from the great sate of Kentucky so I have a good knowledge of all things southern. But yesterday I encounterd a few things that I didn't understand like
gravey on cantalope
(came up in a conversation at the knitting store and you eat it for breakfast)
it's raining frogs and fish
(a conversation with Rod and Carl)
Now I'm not offended by gravy or cantaloupe but I have never dreamed about putting them together. And the "it's raining frogs and fish" sounds biblical and scary if you ask me. Now I'm not going to shy away I'm fully aware of the southern ideals about pickling things pickled beats, pickled eggs, pickled pigs feet, pickled beans, and of course pickled bologna and I'm sure some of you could add to my pickled list (and for the record I love pickled beets). One or two people replied "Maybe that's just an Alabama thing" or " Don't you think some things are just passed down" but me being me I had the good sense to remain quiet (for once). I mean who knows maybe it's good. And the difference between north and south in this case would be? A southerner will try the gravy and cantaloupe mixture to see if it really is good, just like I once tried sour cream and brown sugar on watermelon.
