This test really can't be cheated on... either you know the answers or you don't.

So all this stuff you've been telling me about being Michael Shumacher's twin brother aren't true? Well I'll be ...
A lifetime on the Parkway, but this *must* be explained to me. I am skeptical, indeed. These mountains used to be covered in chestnuts which flowered regularly, now there are none, and the hills are still blue.
But I always figured if I could land on an aircraft carrier at night, I could drive a race car. Someday, I might even try it! LOL!
Granny pipes up and says, "Yeah, you know like down Lousiana-way."
Pretty funny!
"...guess I'm soaking up sports stuff by osmosis..."
Next thing ya know...You'll be able to pronounce the name of that River that Joe Namath grew up near.
Maybe someone can conform this but I think "Hard Peanuts" may be a localized term for "boiled peanuts". I've always heard them called them "boiled peanuts"
I've always heard "hard boiled". As in hard boiled eggs, or hard boiled peanuts, or hard boiled potatos. When you call something "hard boiled" it just means you boiled it until there isn't any point in boiling it anymore.
I've never heard someone use hard without boiled right behind it.
I'm suspect this test was written by a transplanted yankee. It seems to confuse the idea of rural (or country) and southern. Not everything that is rural is southern.
I've always heard the therm muscadine grape. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to them as scuppernog grapes in conversation.
Scrapple is not a southern food (unless you count West Virginia as a southern state, but I wouldn't list it as a southern state.) Scrapple is found in rural Penn. or Indiana. It is a country food, but not a southern one.
