All the vegetables are cooked with some pork parts and usually overdone.

We just call that: Tea.

There's (Iced) Tea, Unsweetened Tea, and Hot Tea.

Pork grease?...you must mean lard

There are some pronunciation oddities. (At least they seem odd to this former Californian.) For example, "Chevrolet" is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable. New Bern, NC is pronounced as one word. Maryville, TN is pronounced roughly "Mehr-vul."

You know Toad Suck is a place, not an insult.

I know I'm in the south and I ask people how they are doing and they reply "good" and ask me the same.

I know I'm in the south when I step out of the airport and I start sweating my ass off due to the humidity.

I know I'm in the south and I get funny looks because I don't want the the "grits special" for breakfast.

I love the south! (except for the hurricanes, tornadoes, and humidity)

Coleslaw on/with stuff is ok but I shudder to think what they call coleslaw in the south? I'd imagine cabbage with pork grease and sugar?

here in Va, Coleslaw is a side dish, a condiment, or both,

no grease, prefer no sugar, and served cold,

Ya beat me to the Waffle House reference.....they are still unknown up here but we do have Chick-Fil-A now in Michigan.

Pardon my slight thread drift.... I’m reminded it’s time to pull out my dvd of My Cousin Vinny for this evenings entertainment.

Some place have the main "Tea" dispenser, and a smaller one next to it labelled "unsweetened tea".

Ah, ha! You do put sugar in it!

You know, while I'd truly never eat any of that stuff or put sugar in tea, I'm just messing with you. I got my heart blessed and I know what that means.

No such thing as un-sweet tea.

...thats just sweet tea they ain't finished makin' yet.

I was down to the cafe the other day and the daily special was your choice of meatloaf or a bologna sandwich.

Some exits have a Waffle House on both sides.

...when you can have the kids (or the wife ) count Dollar General stores to keep them occupied when traveling. Our record is 57 in one week long trip.

Chess and Buttermilk pies.

Pimento cheese.

Good chicken fried steak and gravy.
