What we have no use for are those Yankees who come down here with an attitude of contemptuous condescension for the South.

Oh but honey we are just trying to help you see what's best for you!

No, no---just kidding!

I haven't spent enough time in the South but an old friend of mine was from Smith County, Mississippi and he and I drove down (from near the Canadian border) a couple times just to hang out for a week or two.

Basically I learned to keep my trap shut when it came to opining about regional habits, differences, and oddities; and to open wide when it came to the astonishing back-country food.

My first bite of Junior's barbequed ribs, about ten miles outside Oxford, was an epiphany, like the first time I had ever actually tasted food.

Glad you had that experience, LOL. Seriously, we don't mind opinions as long as they're delivered in a civil manner instead of looking down one's nose at the toothless hillbillies.

You are welcome anytime.
