People eat okra straight up.
I love the south... the people mostly. Somethings I just cant get used too though. Pop and buggies... and bacon in my string beans. I like spinach dammit not collard greens.
Hissy Fit is not southern... its pretty universal.
When you get into the poor areas of the south (not inner city... but real "hickville" type areas. McDonalds is fine dining, and they have a steward that walks around, makes sure your meal is okay, and offers you mints afterward. (No lie)
People down south talk to their neighbors. Whether they be across the lot or "down the road aways." I got looked at funny, because when I moved to center city philadelphia I went around and knocked on doors. I have traveled a lot as a kid. The south rubbed off on me. I do prefer northern south though (like West Virginia, tennesse type areas.. although the carolinas are nice just gets too hot...)
Oh one last thing...
I lived in LA for a spell too... distance is measured in minutes there as well... because of traffic.
Q: "How far away is the Grocery store?"
A: "5 minutes in the middle of the night, 30 minutes during the day."
