I found gator chunks were better than the tail was.

Tastes like chicken...

Tastes like armadillo.

No no no..

The gator I had was not rubbery at all, it was good. I think I have had it 3-4 times.

I think I'm wearing the gators skin boots!

A bad cook can ruin anything. Even okra. Or chitlins.

I doubt a good cook could save okra or chitlins. I doubt my chowhound lab would eat either of them...and she eats real poo

lol! Yep, I've heard those too, "Lands sake" is new to me though.

"Bless your heart" Is a phrase that always sticks out to me because it's like this backhanded way of saying "You dumba**" under the guise of sympathy, lol.

Exclamations specifically, I've heard.
"Hell's Bells!"
"What in tarnation?!"
"I do declare!"
"Well I never!"

And when coming from a lady a hand is usually pressed to their chest when they say it, as if their heart is literally going to hop out of their chest from their shock at someone's audacity.
