You might be a “Southie” if...

I'm about as Northie as you can get can't hardly get any farther north in Minnesota! Not to mention it's still flippin snowing here!

Snowed here all day too.... I heard the smelt were going to wearing parkas this year.

Now there is something I will eat! Minus the parkas!

You might be a southie if you refer to peanuts as goobers when us Northies all know that a goober is snot you hack up and spit out your mouth!

looks about right although Including a part of SOUTH Dakota in the Northie section is debatable.

How did I never find this post sooner? I was born a Northie, but when the Army sent me to the south, (Kentucky, Alabama then Texas) well I converted and became a Southie! I loved the cooking, the way of thinking and salted peanuts in an ice cold coke!
Now I'm off to read the whole thread and see what fun I have missed!

I don't think it's the smelt that are going to be wearing Parkas when we dip this year. Something tells me a pair of waders and a sweatshirt isn't going to cut it. We've only had first (false) spring so far, still waiting for second (false) spring.

I've had tuna patties before, but I prefer not to eat cat food.

I've been trying to figure out the variety of okra my family always used to grow.
It wasn't normal okra. I think it was this?
It sure does look and sound like the same thing.
But I wouldn't think this would grow in Missourah.
If it's not this it's another variety just like it.
It's actually a type of gourd.
They used to always let some of them get big and then they would dry them out and use the seeds to replant the next year.
I tried to grow it some years back when my grandpa went to the nursing home, but it rained all year like this year and they flooded out.
No one has seeds anymore that I know of.

I have never seen that kind of okra and don’t think I want any - it’s from China, for Pete’s sake. I doubt your grandpa would’ve had anything like that either.

I plant ‘Clemson Spineless’ okra. When dealing with a lot of okra, the cactus-like prickles can bring blood.

You know what’s good. The good ole SOUTH!

Exactly

Northern by birth, southern by the grace of Uncle Sam.
