Let's brawl! A Public Service Announcement from a Yankee.

My Yankee family loved foods like perogies, olives, artichokes, garlic, goats milk, brussels sprouts, and kourabiedes. Also, bolwing, polka music, pinochle, and ice skating. I didn’t have my first biscuit until I was 10 years old but oh man, how fast I adjusted to real food :).

Ah, good point. My wife's clan is from Cleveland they are all Slovenian. So perogies, goulash and such is in their wheelhouse. But that is incidental and based on the immigrants from the late 1800's and early 1900's. That food culture is dying amd is only seen near the old parts of town.

BTW my teenage daughter loves her some perogies. Even the crappy frozen ones. Add a little kielbasa and she is very happy.

Yankees have wings, cheap beer and pizza as far as I am concerned. You could argue seafood, Italian food or other things, but lots of people have that stuff. Wings, beer and pizza. Otherwise known as offensive lineman food.

Chicken wings, maybe.
beer- German
pizza- Italian

Pabst Blue Ribbon is NY, and pizza may sound Italian but it is all NY and a little bit of Chicago of I am being generous. So what I am saying is high quantity cheap beer of the 70's, good pizza and great wings are all Yankee. You can find faults with that, but do you really want to claim crappy beer for the south? You already have crappy shine and Bourbon.

And southern wings are just bad, just like Yankee grits.

Yeah, those fools don't count. You are being overly anal. Cause if you go there your whole hog cooking in NC probably was began by foreign slaves, our booze came from somewhere in Europe and the missionary pission came from the church. And beef was actually began way back in early Egyptian times. The Germans may do it well, but they didn't invent it.
 
:p

I see we have just one more imported foreigner in The Containment Area who isn't interested in assimilating to our culture.

Delta is ready when you are.

Poorly cooked food and bad grammar is not culture.

Now if you'd like me to assimilate to States's rights, individual liberty and freedom I am all in. If born and raised southerners are going to alienate Yankees for their place's of birth they will soon find their homeland irrevocably altered. Down the road good ole boys are going to need all the like minded friends they can get. You can continually piss in the wind but you'll lose. Cause your bladder ain't what it used to be? :p

Oh, by the way, tell us what kind of tough southern boys your kids are? Is it a Yankee thing or is it a culture thing? I have 17 year old daughter but it is hard to compute the female toughness formula!

It isn't their place's (sic) of birth that is the problem. It's that "felt the need to inform" and "come here and tell you everything". :cool:

Sounds like my wife’s step father’s family.

When we first started dating, I frequently heard about the Christmas Eve perogies and about the prune perogie that my wife was forced to try that didn’t stay down.

Do rednecks play cards?

During my time on the ships,I served with a Connecticut Yankee...he taught me Euchre and Cribbage.
Finding someone to play cribbage with down here is....well, frustrating. Most people have never heard of it, much less play it :(
Absolutely love euchre. Same story, though. But, it's a lot easier to teach.

Had a discussion about this on the ham radio earlier this week. One of the guys, with a 2 call sign (NE region) was mentioning cribbage and pinochle. If you can find someone to play, who knows the games, they’re quite fun.

Yankees have no room to talk when it comes to grammar. Poorly cooked food is just a opinion and a stupid one at that.

I'd love to see the altered south you speak of.

Cribbage and Euchre are the two card games on my tablet. I learned cribbage from a former coworker who was from PA, and Euchre from some guy who came south to go to college. But my only opponents now are computer programs (and I'm pretty sure the Euchre program cheats).

Not only are they bashing our food, but I voted for one of them. The South is gone boys and it ain't coming back.

We always played pitch. Usually with my Grandmother and her 32 oz cup of ice and rye. And she almost always won. Played euchre in college a few times, but it never stuck.
 
I'm gonna be making some BBQ this weekend. Boston Butt on sale for .98 a pound! I'll start it about daylight Saturday morning, fix one and freeze one. I'll do the snake method with some pecan wood and mop it with an old sock every couple of hours. Pull it and dig in!

High, low, Jack, & game? Never heard of it. Lol

When I was a kid I got $1 a week allowance for shoveling coal & ashes and the driveway in the winter and mowing the lawn in the summer. Dad paid me on Saturdays and my money was just as good as anyone else's for the family pitch game after Sunday dinner. A dime a game and a nickel a set-up. Oh, how he loved taking that money back. He'd laugh in my face. It was a learning experience at a tender age.

Years later when I was a bit of a nomad I moved to a new town and one night got invited to play cards with some fellas in the basement of a bar after closing. Racehorse Pitch, they called it. A buck a point. Bid 3 and make it each player owed you $3. Don't make it and you owed each player $3. After the second night they didn't invite me back.
