[AT] t-giving dinner now off topic ramble

[charlie hill]

H.L.  I understand your sensitivity to proper use of the language.  However, 
you have obviously not spent much time in the southeast.
We were merely making fun of the way we used to talk down here.
The truth of the matter is that when I was a child there were many folks in 
this area that were uneducated to the point that correctly pronouncing a 
word like tomato was beyond their ability.  Folks who can't read or write 
don't have much way of knowing the proper way to say something.  What they 
say is based on what they hear.

That is for the most part in the past now but those of us from this region 
remember it well and jokingly speak that way sometimes. Go out and get 
yourself some CD's of a comedian named Jeff Foxworthy.  He'll explain it all 
to you.

Ted------I think if you ask George, Gene, Gary, Larry or Steve who regularly
frequent the Portland Camp site that taking  in enough of the sauce will
improve the taste of most any food.

Right Guys

However I think you could concoct  a pretty good Apple Sauce based ( Apple
Salsa )  Add a few finely chopped peppers, cilantro, onions, and Grape
tomatoes salt and pepper.

By the way Sam's Club here carries some really good corn chips for dipping
they are "On the Border" brand, they are light and crispy yet don't easily
break when dipping.

Jack killed all my tomatoes.

Following the earlier thread the term maders in the various forms and vegies
for some reason are offensive to me, just one of the quirks I have developed
after 72 years. I even tell customers who ask for maters or what ever that
we have none, but do have some good tasting  tomatoes.
