Ooh, can I get an amen? The little railcar diner on main street at home has THE best... I spent 43 hours on the road over Easter, and got minimal sleep, but I gladly woke up at 6am to go over there to have that. Mmm.

Got to have grits with that. I love the shrimp and grits from the low country. And the barbeque... My favorite is from North Carolina. Heavily smoked pulled pork with slaw on the top. Wash it down with a sweet tea and a big slice of coconut or red velvet cake. Now I made myself really hungry. Time for a snack break.![]()

Yep. I fully intend to do just that in full view of my mockery of Southern culture. In actuality, I wasn't mocking Southern culture to which I have my own familial ties, I was mocking it's sometimes unusual cuisine - and I stand by that.

Oh, please. I live in a city that puts a whole sport pepper and pickle spear on a hot dog, every region has unusual cuisine. What could be perceived as an offensive comment is just that no matter who it is directed at. So you retain your right to stand by your comments, and I retain my right to view it as hypocrisy. We'll agree to disagree I guess. No loss, no gain.

FYI, I have never lived south of the Wisconsin/Illinois state line. But I do know good food. If you never tried shrimp and grits you don't know what your missing. Its delicious. Southern food is great, but I'm an equal opportunity diner, I love cusine from all over the US. When I travel, I enjoy sampling the local food. It's usually well prepared and the ingredients are fresh. Fresh seafood from the coasts, steak, chops and ribs from the midwest, texmex, southwest, italian, chinese, thai. It's all good. If I wanted to eat the same stuff we eat back home, why bother travelling? I could just watch the travel channel and order a pizza. :wink:

Exactly, peartree. Not everyone does things the same and food will inevitably vary from place to place. Incidentally, I'm a born and raised Chicagoan and I love grits, and I love sweet tea. Its all a matter of preference, regardless of where one is from or lives. Granted, I complained earlier, tongue-in-cheekly, about the fries in the south, but I could
have, and no doubt would have, run into that in any number of places.

Works for me. Although, I have a hard time equating addressing what appeared to be a racial slight with dissing grits and sweet tea. I have no intention of re-fighting the Civil War, so I'm just going to walk away from this one.

Intolerance is intolerance. You want to call a slight on something make sure your hands are clean first.

Okay. Can we acknowledge that they were both slights, THEN agree to disagree and leave it at that?
