Being from the North Carolina, right near the South Carolina Border, I was raised saying "drink" for what ya'll call Coke.(The county I am from was dry at the time, no booze.) When we moved to KY everyone thought we were asking for alcohol, had to adjust that one real quick.

LOVE my sweet tea, everyone in KY thinks I'm nuts when I ask if their tea is sweet. "We got packets.." EEEEWWWWW! And never mind asking for grits. Never, ever eat grits without some butter in them.(Though they are real good with fried fish, yum!)Don't forget the collards, a lotta folks turn lots of colors when you talk about them, and the oysters, steamed open you scrape them out of the shell and slurp them down (with sweet tea and hush puppies).

And in my neck of the woods BBQ is PORK!! Not beef. We had them pig pickin's for everything..annivers'ries..weddin's, birthdays, the deer dog had puppies..shoot..we didn't need no stinking reason.

Sorry my post is so long...ya'll got me homesick..don't want mine kicked next..;-)
