To many of us.....a Yankee is just a spoiled baseball player!:laughing:

Yep. Alex Rodriguez is the Yankee we all love to hate in Boston. We have always admired Mariano Rivera though and are sad to see him go.

Back to Southern English:

If you're buying name branded sausage:
Bob Evans, Jimmy Dean, Williams - all extra sage.
Cook it in a seasoned cast iron skillet. Preferably one your Mema used and you've maybe cleaned up a little. Low-medium heat.
Looks sorta like this:

Yep, best to season them again with a quarter sized spot of olive oil. At least that is what I do... And while I consider my self a southerner, I have brains enough to know that every area of the USA has some great eats. While I don't care a lot for Boston politics, I also know they make some very tempting dishes up there.

Best place I ever found to eat out side of the south is Maine. You just can't beat the food up there: lobstah pie, lobstah rolls, boiled lobstah, steamed lobstah, lobstah bisque, lobstah stew……

My son and I took off through Portland and up the coast and ate lobstah three or more meals a day for three days. I love it.

The Bath shipyard about an hours drive north of Portland has been building ships since colonial times. These days they built high tech frigates for the USN. In colonial days, there was a famous wildcat strike by the workers who rebelled because they were being fed lobster three times a day. Lobster used to be so common it was a trash "fish".

I think there is a little ship museum there in Bath and we went through it. Neat place. Lady there told us that about the lobsters being very plentiful in colonial times and to such extent that the prisoners were fed lobster because nobody else wanted them. She said kids in school were ashamed to take lobster in their lunch from home because it was considered 'poor peoples food'.

It's interesting that in this day and time one can probably go in a grocery store and buy lobster, ribeye, filet mignon, etc with a govt provided EBT card and the guy behind them in line who is paying for his food with his own hard earned money is probably buying spam and hamburger if he can even afford meat.

Pre-mixed sausage seasoning, never had any idea they sold them.

But back on subject - Mom-n-em always brought out the bulk seasonings, then Dad and PaPa would measure them out, us young un's had to mix it all up and turn the grinder, but MaMa was standing right there to make sure we did it right.

When the wife comes home tonight, I'll get her to find our old family recipe for sage sausage, it's at least five generations old and, in my opinion, a very good one.

Pernell's is pretty good and they do offer a sage version

Don,t tell me what it costs,tell me what the monthly payment is.

A big difference I have noticed is depending on where your from is it a pop, soda, Coke, or Pepsi.

My uncle from Texas would always ask " what color soda ya like."

When I was growing up, every type of soft drink was called a "coke." Yep, I spelled it with a little "c" because it was not a brand specific term. "Let's go get a coke" meant you were gonna get a soft drink. I didn't call soft drinks "soda" or "pop" until I was in the US Navy and exposed to those terms enough to accept them. It's a lot like how people refer to facial tissue as "kleenex" without meaning to be brand specific. I've heard people say that they buy Puffs kleenex.

 

[Bird]

Yep, I drank many orange and grape "cokes".:laughing: And to my Mother, ALL motorhomes were Winnebagos.

 

[dave1949]

In NW Ohio where I grew up, someone would offer a "bottle of pop." The answer may have been "Sure, whadiya got?" "Soda" [carbonated water], would have been something to mix with whiskey.

"Soda" as a soft drink is a common Northeast usage.

A couple of expressions that make me chuckle:
"I was so tuckered-out my fanny was draggin' my tracks shut."
"I am so hungry my belly is rubbin' on my backbone."

I learned those in Ohio, but I don't know their origin, and they aren't common there or here.

I remember hearing soft drinks being referred to as "dope" when I was growing up in NC; e.g., "Gimme a dope and a pack of Nabs."

Every topic, no matter how trivial, has been addressed. To prove my case, see the geographic distribution of "soda versus pop versus coke" at The Pop vs. Soda Page.

That seems to be accurate, at least for my state. We called it "pop" or "coke", unless we were eating a Moon Pie, and then it was an "R.C. Cola".

Yep, Steve. However, if that map showed military bases and ships at sea, each of those locations would be all three colors. Maybe every case has not been fully evaluated.

Dave1949: As a bar tender in Philadelphia, it was always "soda" for plain carbonated water. When I went to California, it was common to call it "seltzer." I found out recently when I asked my wife to buy me some soda or seltzer, that Canada Dry calls theirs "sparkling water." Also, most store-brand plain soda and Canada Dry contain 65 mg of sodium per serving (8 oz). She just happened to see some Perrier on the shelf and brought me a bottle. I was shocked to see that Perrier contains zero sodium. It is "naturally sparkling," whatever that means? A 24 oz bottle of Perrier costs $0.50 more than a 2-liter bottle of Canada Dry. So, you sure pay a lot for that pretty green bottle of naturally sparkling French frou-frou water.

Does anybody else like straight tonic water? I love it with a squeeze of lemon or lime. That dry bitter taste is why I also love Gin-n-tonic in the summertime.

 

[Daver1963]

Shed has several meanings.
A small building to house things - "Git me a grub hoe an' a rake from tha tool shed."
To expose information - "Could y'all shed a little light on why 'at der hydawlic hose busted?"
To lose or get rid of something - "Y'all are looking kinda skinny. Did ya shed some weight?"

 

[bcp]

"get shut of"

"She needs to get shut of that man!"
