"48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom."

34% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

(I've been told I sound like I'm from California  :whatever:)

I've lived in the south (Louisiana and Texas) most of my life!!!   :bawl:

I dunno. I was kind of wondering why she asked because I only know one way to make cornbread. Apparently there's some imposters running around? And I've seen recipes that call for sugar in the cornbread. That ain't cornbread to me.

And I never put sugar in my cornbread in A SKILLET or in my grits. I do put cheese in my grits. I have been hell because NOONE here knows WTF sweet tea is!  :banghead: They go "Well, we have rasberry tea"  :mental:

Yeah, I hated that when I was in the Navy.  No one knew what sweet tea or grits were.  How do you not know that sweet tea is tea with sugar in it.  Hell, we don't drink hot tea down here, but I can figure out it's tea that is hot.  I was in heaven when I finally found a place on base that had grits.  My Yankee buddies thought I had lost it when they saw my favorite breakfast plate.  Grits, fried eggs (runny), salt, pepper, butter, all mixed up together with a piece of toast.  I just might make me some when I get home.

Jiffy???  :thatsright:

That's like instant grits and red eye gravy without coffee.

Cornbread..............fill iron skillet half way with oil, heat, pour oil into cornmeal and mix, pour back into skillet, bake. Serve with 5 gallon bucket of butter with a garden spade.

Grits.......................butter, pepper, cheese

Tea..................sugar, tea, water

Boiled peanuts........................salt, water, green peanuts(red pepper allowed also)

One cup sugar per gallon

Ah, yes.  Redneck caviar.  I can eat myself sick on boiled peanuts.

I've lived in Ashburn/ Sycamore, GA my whole life (except Naval service).  From the Turner County Tax Assesor's website.....
Quote
Ashburn is also home to the Big Peanut Monument and a Peanut Museum. The monument was created to pay tribute to the peanut processing industry that allows the city to be nicknamed "The Peanut Capital of the World". The Golden Peanut Company, considered the world's largest peanut processing plant, has a facility in the heart of the city.
Any body ever seen the big peanut on I-75?  That's the only way anybody knows where Ashburn is.  Needles to say, we have our share of boiled peanuts down here.

1st test:  78% Dixie.  Your neck must be a just little rosy!

2nd test:  40% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

The second test just proves that those Harvard morons have no idea how to gauge anything - there ARE a few Southerners who have had education beyond the third grade.  It doesn't make us Yankee, it just makes us smarter than a yankee.

I'm an American.  Anyone who thinks they aren't a Yankee, go anyplace else in the world and ask the folks there if they think you're a Yankee.  Oh yeah, bring your own crying towel, most of those places aren't noted for clean laundry, and you won't like the answer.
