Porridge is made from Oats not Corn. We call it Outmeal here in the states. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ellis, John P. To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 11:45 AM Subject: RE: YEE HAW: I'm Southern Y'all
you mean porridge? Im glad you told me what Hominy is !!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 February 2008 16:43 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: YEE HAW: I'm Southern Y'all It's ground up hominy, which you then boil to cook them. Should never be runny, as has been mentioned already. Hominy comes from corn by the way. Joe Heaton ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Ellis, John P.

I'm originally from the mountains of North Carolina (fairly close to the Tennessee border) and I grew up eating grits with butter and sugar.

A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb. I'm fixin' to forward this to some of my friends! Or "fiddenta", as we say around here. 13.) Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to everybody! I was so confused when, as a child, I moved from the deep south to New York and heard people talking about waiting "on line." I kept looking at the floor trying to find the line they were standing on. Thankfully, a year later we left NY and headed south again! 15.) True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all." A pet peeve of mine. When Hollywood tries to imitate southerners, it has actors saying "y'all" to just one person. Drives me nuts. 16.) True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them. With salt, and sometimes cheese. Never with sugar. 19.) Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. Actually, in a good southern restaurant you don't have to say "sweet." If you order tea, it will be sweet-because why on earth would anyone want tea that WASN'T sweet?! 20.) And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way. In the south, you can utter all sorts of insults without being considered rude if you follow them up with a "bless his/her heart." For example, "That Jane just isn't very bright, bless her heart" or, "Joe's collards always taste like dirt, bless his heart." ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
