We ate dinner once at The County Line (somewhere in Texas), years ago and they were playing this as background music. We bought a copy of the CD and it’s floatin’ around here somewhere. The YouTube clip is not complete, but you’ll laugh your bee-hind off at this. Set a spell.
“Ever last one a y’all” is also acceptable.
Biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Every day.
Also, I’ll be smoking a hog this weekend. That’s right. A whole hog.
And it will be served with a vinegar based sauce, I hope.
You forgot “as the Good Lord intended?”
Q: “How big is it?”
A: “It’s about yea big.” [motions with hands to indicate just how big]
Also, saying “plumb” to indicate how extreme something is, as in “I’m plumb worn out.”
Or how complete or how well-made. Dad used to put on an accent and, after finishing something ‘close enough for government work’, say ‘It’s perty nigh, but not plumb.’
I call the back door of the liquor store the “Church Door.”
I know both ways to pronounce “Beaufort.” And why it matters.
If you’re in my age group or lower, you’re either a boy or girl. If you don’t identify as those genders, I’ll shrug my shoulders and mouth “you know.”
I heard THAT! S’got me grinnin’ like a possum thinkin’ ‘bout eatin’ me some bisgits n gravy!
And a whole mess of greens!
Oh my god, yes. Drives me straight up a wall when non-Southerners try to put on a Southern accent and say “How y’all doin’?” to one person. That’s not what “y’all” means, folks!
With pepper vinegar!
What!? Slaw. Good Eastern Barbecue should be eaten with slaw.
Now I want barbecue.
Nope. Cabbage has to be fried with bacon grease.
Look - we’re southern, not Scottish. Not everything has to be fried.
I like both types of music, country and western!
But when we do fry…
Me too. So I went searching for what barbecue is available in the part of Northern California I live in now. This is one of the few barbecue places near me:
I’m not sure if that link will take you directly to the menu I’m looking at. If not, go to the section for “platters”.
What? Who serves barbecue on a fancy plate, with a side of roasted vegetables? What is that asparagus doing there? That kind of offends my Southern sensibilities.
Barbecue goes in a styrofoam take out container, with slaw, and a piece of white bread. Or cornbread is also acceptable.
Bless your heart!
