    I’m from South Carolina, lived here for all of my life. Yet I have traveled over most of the world, and these kind behaviors that we are taught have served me well no matter where I have found myself. A man in China who owned a small store asked me why I was so kind to him. I didn’t know what to say. Maybe this is a video about how strange southerners are, but I don’t think I’d want to be any other way.

    The movie you’re thinking of with Dolly and Julia Roberts is Steel Magnolias! Savory grits, deviled eggs and boiled peanuts are just a few of the foods you must try in the South. The old saying “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” definitely applies to food in the south. Even the simplest of things, like boiled 🥜 peanuts , can be changed up by the extra seasonings, boil time, etc. Everyone likes to put their own spin on recipes, unless it’s a cherished family recipe that’s been passed down… then you strictly stick to the recipe in that situation lol. And funny story about the Spanish Moss trees that he mentioned… I grew up in a very small country town, so you learned to be creative, use the resources around you and make things you wanted, that weren’t considered a necessity. Halloween costumes always fell into that category lol. One year we decided to go gather up a bunch moss from the trees around the swamp. We glued it all over our old play clothes and mom’s shower hats, painted our hands, feet and face green and Boom 💥 we were Swamp Thing. The costumes actually looked really cool, but there was one major downfall… we were itching and scratching the whole time from the chiggers. After being hosed down and scrubbed off in the yard, mom made us camp outside for a few nights so we didn’t bring them in the house. 😂 Good ol Southern living ❤

    Sophie, during Prohibition, alcohol was illegal in the U.S. That never worked, but some places choose to remain dry, or dry on Sunday's. Also, Sophie, I used to be afraid of Oysters. After trying them, I decided they were good on occasion, at least when with friends who love them. The two of you are really good working together on these reactions. The whole team is good, but your vibe alone works well too. As a northerner, it took me a minute to understand grits. They are not like any kind of porridge. They have a unique consistency. Now, to my southern sisters and brothers, I have learned to appreciate them, just not by themselves. I do enjoy cheesy grits, and other flavored grits. I will have to try shrimp and grits sometimes. Anyway, Cheers to you all!

Lived there working for a oyster boating rig for 3 months one summer. Amazing experience. Shout out Wellfleet Oyster family. Sweet and salty. Who doesn't love that? Great experience, beautiful views and I will never forget the taste of these oysters....natural seasoning. YUMMY!

    Notes: Heh. I don't know if it is now, but back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, whenever my alcoholic paternal grandfather had to drive through Noble, Oklahoma, to get to Norman, Oklahoma to see one of Grandma's relatives, he grumbled openly about Noble being a dry town, and he was afraid that they would arrest him if he wasn't on his best behavior as he drove through it. He was visibly relaxed once we left their town limits!
    This isn't my first time seeing that video. But I've just realized that his wife kept her looks while he lost his, so that probably means looks don't matter to her. Hmm. 🤔
    CSA Civil War Monuments and CSA Flags! He failed to mention them! Sure, some have been removed by now. But you might still see them.
    "Six Flags Over Texas" recognizes that one of them is the "Stars & Bars" as does the tourist center at the Stateline. But I was startled to see a lonely CSA Battle Flag, flying alone near a beach when we went to Galveston one day. It was to mark a lonely grave where one soldier was buried. It made me wonder why he was buried alone and not with any others. Since the flag pole is so tall, that's probably what draws your attention to the grave in the first place. Otherwise, it might pass for a tiny sand dune.
    Okay! That settles it! Despite hearing thunder outside, I'm leaving the house to go find Breakfast!

      @garythornbury9793 hey! Before I was of school age, we lived in San Antonio. My younger brother now lives in The Colony. But anyway, I have to inform people that Oklahoma didn't yet exist during the Civil War, so how could we be on anyone's side. We don't have any monuments like that that I'm aware of as there would be no need for them.
      Heck, come to think of it, I have never seen any battlefield cemeteries in person in Oklahoma. If any exist, they might be about the wars with our tribes? 🤔 It has been a while since I was able to see the show, "Discover Oklahoma".
      The only CSA flags that I've seen in use up here were flown by Caucasians in protest against whatever they were protesting. One day, as I was leaving to go pick up a gal, there were two guys passing by the mailboxes looking like they were about to pass out. I got the mail, and I offered some help to them.
      Long story short, they lived in another town, so I took them there. Their destination was a two-tone brown, single-wide mobile home, next to the burnt ruins of an old motel. I was startled to see a CSA Battle Flag, with frayed edges, on the motel's flag pole. The last time I was there, the place still smelled like fresh ashes. No flags. Seeing the flag made me think of "Gone With The Wind" and of the flag reveal scene in it. I also thought about how it looked like someone was playing and used the ruins as their fort. But their side lost. Or they were pretending that the ruins were Union and they had claimed it. I don't know. I seem to be the only one who played "Guns" or "War" in the early 1970s. No one wanted to be on the losing side, though, so we just pretended to shoot at imaginary foes that had us surrounded, whatever they were!
      Now, in a more prominent display, I've seen CSA Battle Flags modified with words placed on them and usually around the silhouette of an M-16. But not since the pandemic.
      I've seen an Alabama trucker at one of our two local truck stops, with a cap that had a CSA BF emblem patch on it, and it matched his chained wallet. He was rude to the other customers, in the manner of "Hey, I'm only joking with you!" as
      if that would keep him out of trouble.
      I saw another guy who resembled that one, show up at the scrap metal place. He didn't see anyone that didn't look like him, so he wasn't rude.
      The gist is that we do have rude people up here, but they are the opposite of what you described. Go figure.

Most people are nice unless they're on meth, then they might try to rob you, but the real danger is their sweet tea...their sweet tea is trying to kill you. I was in the hospital for a bit while I was there (great hospital system in Huntsville, AL) and every day they'd give me sweet tea and it blew my mind that in a hospital they'd try to make me drink a glass of liquid with 3 cups of sugar in it.
    I was there in 2017 and they had a day where it got down to 17 degrees (which in Michigan is pretty much half the year) and they city freaked out. That day the I was in Madison, AL and the city shut down. I was the only car on the road that day, laughing my ass off while people looked out their windows at me like I was a maniac.

    You take peanuts that's still in the shell after you wash the dirt residue off the shells you put them all into a big tall soup pot and in the pot you make a salty liquid brine and if you want you can add spicy hot spices to the liquid to give the boiled peanuts a Cajun spicy heat..when the peanuts are boiling it softens the shell and absorb the liquid and will even crack the shell which the peanuts inside then become super soft salty and spicy if you were to add hot spices and that is how you make boiled peanuts...or you can just find most viewed videos on how to make regular or Cajun boiled peanuts and make it yourself to enjoy a yummy laid back snack on a perfect day

    Steel Magnolias is the movie you are describing. Peanut shells are not very hard, they are damp when they are first pulled out of the ground, then they dry pretty quickly and become like cardboardish, There is a seam along the side, where you typically split them open to remove the actual nuts, there are anywhere from 2-3 nuts per shell. Boiled peanuts they throw them in with the shells still on, in salty water and sometimes other spices are thrown in then boil them until the entire peanuts, shell and all is soft. Peanuts are not an actual nut, they are a legume, just like peas and beans.

As a Type 2 Diabetic, if they don't have "Splenda" or "Zero Sugar" options for "Sweet Tea", I get the Tea, except when they make it in the same urn or pot that they make Coffee in! Blech! 🤢🤮 "Diet" soda pops are an option that I also had to get used to that took a while! To get beyond only tasting the artificial sweetener and to taste the intended flavor. I was patient enough to endure that, unlike my best friend. But anyway, "Diet" is meant for those trying to avoid Obesity and/or Type 2 Diabetes in the first place! But over doing it can lead to Type 1! Then you're back to regular soda pops, unless you just call it quits and drink water only, like some I know. 😁

    I have never cracked a boiled peanut and they get as salty as how much salt in used boiling them. They are just easy to get to the soft peanut inside by popping in your mouth and doing what comes naturally to get them out the shell. And lucky if one is soft enough shell and all is edible. Roasted peanuts would need cracking. I use an instant pot to do do them. Green peanuts we are lucky to get. Green ones are fresh from the ground. Not dried out.

    Something Sophie may or may not know by now: Two peanuts are usually in one shell. Each shell is normally a pair of peanuts in a pair of pods that are connected. Sometimes a single nut ends up in a pod on its own, but usually they come in pairs. It's a shell, not a pod, but they look like pods. The shell is easy to open, and not very thick, it's almost like a thick paper.

    04:09 Even people from other regions of the US often screw up their faces when they hear "boiled peanuts." I've surmised over the years that they think someone's taken already roasted peanuts and boiled them (which indeed would be gross.) The important factor is that boiled peanuts are made from "raw" peanuts that have reached full size, but not fully matured (dried out). Once prepared properly, they are salty (sometimes spicy) and lovely. When I was a kid, on long car journeys in Georgia in the '70s, before every few freeway exits, you'd see a hand-lettered sign on plywood reading "Boiled Peanuts: next exit." They were, and are essential road travel food, and completely addictive. Always buy more than you think you'll need, if you get the chance.
    I'd link to a recipe/boiling instructions, but the thing is, like Italian food, boiled peanuts are all about the quality of the produce, not the cooking technique. You need the correct "green" peanuts from certain areas/farms in The South, during certain times of year, for the best experience. On our way to my Granddad's, (Douglas, GA) in the summer, there was one farm that had a roadside stand we would stop at, buy a big bag of pre-cooked goober peas, and also a huge bag of raw, green uncooked peanuts for cooking once we got back home. Also some fried pork skins, crackling, and maybe some fresh peaches and stuff.
    If you all came over and took a road trip down South, you'd realise there's a reason they are referred to as "Country Caviar." Probably the most moreish food I've ever encountered in my life. Love to see a video of that!!

    I’m from North Carolina and you want to visit some beautiful beaches. This is the state to go to. I’m my opinion NC has the best beaches on the east coast, excluding southern Florida. I’m talking about the actual beach, the water is so beautiful. The water is warm during the summer, so you can actually swim in it. I’m specifically from the Wilmington/Wrightsville beach area. It’s a beautiful little city, so if you want to experience the beach life, I recommend eastern NC.

    There's nothing wrong with chewing up an oyster. There are also many ways to prepare them. For instance, they can be fried, grilled, poached, raw, roasted, steamed, etc. The best oysters come from estuaries and the areas close to such. It's a combination of the salt water they live in and the flora that enters the water from the land. Oysters just filter the water and whatever is present in the water defines their flavor.
    I come from an area where both wild and farmed oysters are common. They are expensive in restaurants, but most of the people around here will just buy them by the bushel. I get them for about $65/bushel and that's enough to easily fill 2 or 3 people. So, the price isn't that bad. Granted, it's one of those 'who you know' situations. The same bushel could cost someone who isn't close to the person who gathers the oysters +$80.
    People can also take their own boat out and gather a bushel a day, without a license. Anyone gathering more has to have a commercial license.

    Mark 16:38. Say what now? Sure, when people say "Hominy Grits" but otherwise, I thought they were ground corn! 🤔 That's odd! Intact Hominy doesn't appeal to me! Hmm. Ahem. Okay...
    Quote One -
    Grits are made from ground corn, typically from less sweet, starchy varieties often referred to as dent corn. Grits can be made from either yellow or white corn and are often labeled accordingly. June 25, 2021.
    Quote Two -
    Are grits made from corn or hominy?
    Grits are a type of porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Hominy grits are a type of grits made from hominy - corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization, with the pericarp (ovary wall) removed. Grits are often served with flavorings as a breakfast dish.
    End quote!
    Aha! Those pictures on can labels of "White Hominy" don't make them look like Corn at all! They look more like Cauliflower, that shrank! Well, that's news to me that they are a Corn thing!

There are so many visitors who make fun of you or talk down to you that you begin to remove some of these elements. For example, I no longer say coke” for soda, I say as little as possible to customers (tourists) so they won’t hone in on something they find funny, and I no longer correct another persons child. I maintain my authenticity around family and friends but tourists get none of it. They make being yourself unbearable at times.

      Well it's certainly more of an archaic term though it is still said among some of the rural South. My grandparents on my mom's side say Coke as a catch all, and my mom says Coke as well. I'll use it interchangably but I tend to stick with soda since it's more widely understood. There's several local restaurants within my county and neighboring counties that still use Coke as the de facto catch all term. Based on a map of the term, this makes sense that you might not have heard it because it seems to be more common where I live in Arkansas, Western Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, and East Texas. It's not widespread across the South and a place like Nashville or Atlanta might not use the term for being "outdated". I hear it being used every week here but if you only visited certain places a couple of times, you might have not encountered it
