Son, you're gettin' ready to hit Atlanta. Be prepared. At least for the sweet tea.
(Said with as southern a drawl as I can swing.)
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ND and I (and I think there were others) split some 'gator appetizers at the New Orleans F2F. It was nummy.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
In some places you can order half sweet half unsweet
which is still very sweet
but I like my ice to have some sweet.

I love sweet tea. LOVE. IT. It's this crocogator food NONSENSE that's causing my hackles to flee in terror.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Then you probably wouldn't like squirrel, 'possum, armadillo, nutria, or rattlesnake, either.

...probably not, dcp.
It's not to say I won't try exotic new foods, but I'm...cautious. 4 of those animals are pests meant for death-and-disposal (someone in Oregon, close to my mom, thought that nutria would be a good FUR animal, and when that failed, just LET THEM GO. They've been eating the roots of the trees along the various riverbanks around Portland, causing massive erosion and plant loss. Bah.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
meant for death-and-disposal
Eating them does accomplish that pretty thoroughly.

...true.
I'm skeptical, but open to convincing: if dishes with these...creatures...can be made tasty, I'm willing to give them a go. I resisted eel for years until I found unagi. (And dragon rolls! NOM)

“Not dead yet!”
Y'know, I grew up in the south and I've yet to partake from the Roadkill Cafe. There are just some things that don't need to be sampled.
