Should be "southern hospitality" in quotation marks. Rudest bunch you'll ever meet unless you are exactly like them.
Nah we're never rude, they're all compliments.
Well bless your heart, I would never have the courage to wear something like that in public like you do.
I've found DC to be the rudest bunch of people I've ever met. Everywhere I've gone in DC the people are just totally rude assholes. Everywhere I've been in the south has just been nice, polite, helpful people.
I found it to be exactly the opposite. Everyone in DC is doing interesting things. There is a lot of passion and hard work as well. They mostly shy away from direct politics in a town that is incredibly political by its very nature. I've been helped on the street more by average people than I ever was around Atlanta, New Orleans, or the spaces between.
Doing fentanyl on the metro is pretty interesting I’ll give you that
I bet it’s boring
DC might be part of the South, depending on who you ask
Southern Hospitality, as long as you don't get to know them, and you're not black
I’m literally talking about hospitality, as in the actions in the home, that others would call the hospitality industry.
I mean when you arrive they’ll offer you some tea and the furniture will look a certain way, and they’re likely to have a tray they carry those glasses on, and it’s already made, and there’s a whole set of food you traditionally entertain with, etc.
That whole set of behaviors is what I’m calling southern hospitality. Nothing beyond that.
The South(east) as a whole should not be lumped in with the Cajuns.
Louisiana and especially New Orleans are really their own thing. They just caucus with the South.
I was thinking specifically of an apple cobbler recipe I once did that had me dotting the whole pan with butter after the end, which I thought was a French technique. Turns out cobbler’s got English origins not French.
Ah, okay. Yeah, IIRC Scotland also contributed a lot of the really grease-heavy dishes to the no-spice parts of the South.
What about breading on fish and chicken? Where does that originate?
I don't know, and a quick search doesn't turn up anything. If they had moved over from Reddit I'd say it's a good question for AskHistorians.
One of these is not like the others.
Yeah, most of the real hippies moved towards the rockies a few decades ago
This is pretty accurate.
As an American I pretty much agree this is decently accurate
