    Tip: try dipping your french fries or chips for Brits, into tarter sauce. You have instant potato salad.

    well just trying to shop in a different state is fun. I remember the 1st time I tried to buy alcohol in Phili. I had to go to a "state" store which close at 8pm.

    In the hills of Appalachia "bags" or "sacks" are called "pokes".

    When I moved to Phoenix AZ from Georgia I went into a Lowes. Came in the back door and they had no 'buggies' so I walked through the store. When I got near the service desk the lady asked if she could help me. I said Yes, I need to get a buggy. She looked at me like I was from outer space. Once she finally understood what I needed, she called over to a man at a cash register that was not busy and asked him to get me a shopping cart.

    He looked at her like she was from outer space. I spoke up and said, "buggy". He knew exactly what I needed. Turns out he was from Georgia too and had no idea what a shopping cart was. We had a good laugh over that.

    I always preferred Del Tacos here in Georgia. Taco Bell took over more all of them several years ago. I quit going to Taco Bell when they had the deal about the meat wasn't really meat but just filler. The food was tasty even if it wasn't meat.

    when I first married we moved from Texas to the Midwest. There was no Dr. Pepper or 7-11's or taco bells, El Chico's, etc.. I could not imagine any place that primitive.

    I don't know if there's any chance of it there, Palm, but if you can find an Arab grocery store, they should have soft cheeses that are quite close to the curd you are looking for - and maybe a Greek store?

    HP Sauce! It's the only thing for steak.

    People from the south are the ones that are normal. The yankees (northerners) are out of their minds...I went to Wisconsin once and ordered a bowl of grits in a restaurant and they had no idea what I was talking about..

    That's for sure!

    Another thing: Don't ask for a "serviette" here. It's a "napkin".
