Connecting with post 7 and 8 BP. And being as I'm a true hatched southern male, no way I could hitch up to a northern female! Most ofum are to dern sorphisticated! And being as I have lived in PA, here in Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Colorado, New York (thank god only for 6 months there) and several other parts of the country, I kinda have a pretty good idea of the home cooking of them. And no I don't think they eat pizza and subs all the time either. Actually I have quite a few recipes from PA that I keep locked down tight so as not to lose them! Like sweet sticks, Lebanon Bologna, Amish venison stew (YUMMY), and many more.

As far as what it has to do with the beginning of the tread, not much of a damn thing but since the thread starter veered off, why not? Also, my statement of "sorry, no way I could marry me a Yankee" wasn't politically correct and you were seriously offended judging by your response so maybe you are more affected by political correctness than you may think?
