They are so upset, and are under the impression N.Y. has absolutely no fine restaurants because refried mosquitoes on grits is never displayed on any menu of the multitude of Manhattan's finest dinning locations.
NYC is the only place I have ever been served a glass of water with a dead roach in it. I'll take refried mosquitoes on grits over that any day. I do like some of the NYC delis though.
Maybe I unfairly misread the cultural comments you have made over the months on the FR, but Espinola, in your constant ignorant stereotypical slurs against southern people in general, you suggest that you have the typical backward provincial hick-town mentality that distrusts and denigrates anything and anybody unfamiliar. The redneck mindset lives everywhere.
Overlooking the unfortunate number of people holding the defective leftist worldview in certain blue state regions, my thesis is that Americans are generally the same in substance everywhere. In the United States, the differences between North and South are superficial compared to the differences between us and the outside enemies of the nation. The great Lincoln did not save the Union so that narrow-minded Northeasterners could look down on the South and the superficials of its culture.
