I think the calling soda Coke is somehow related to the geographic distance from Atlanta GA.  Lived in Georgia for a few years, and agree with you there.

But, as lovely Lois points out, many southerners say soda for a carbonated drink.

My wife, rural Virginia born and bred, says soda also.

My tar heel father said Pepsi until the voice on the other end asked if coke was ok.

But, I loved my visits to Alabama, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Huntsville.  So I must ask (even if off topic), do you like kale when prepared properly @DRK0312 ?

 

 

I have curly Kale in my refrigerator. I sauté it in butter with garlic ( Born and bred in the UK).

Just watching Shitts Creek for the first time here. What on earth is a cheese ball?

I expected you to ask What is a Mayo Clinic, or Miracle Whip? 😀

We have Mayo here and I have learned previously on these boards (during salad cream gate) about the monstrosity that is known as miracle whip. I’ve yet to experience its delights. I’m still no wiser as to what a cheese ball is though, google doesn’t do it any favours.

Can't help you there – I have never watched Shitts Creek.  [Still have episodes of the Two Ronnies to catch up on...]  🤣

I was just editing my post to add:  Every time I use my garden fork, I always check to see if we have enough candles for necessary repairs... 🤣

Comic genius. I Am a child of the 70s so grew up on them and the other fantastic comics of the time.

If we ever find ourselves on a SS ship together, we could share our 70s BritCom memories over a small cask of Madeira...

Duke of Clarence? As long as Julie London is on in the background 🙂

Are you able to get Britbox over there? It’s a uk app but nothing a VPN couldn’t sort I’m sure. It has lots of 70s stuff on there (that the snowflakes haven’t kicked off about) if you appreciate our humour.

I was alluding to Flanders & Swann:  "Have some madeira, m'dear; I have a small cask of it here..."

Sorry HJB, way before my time so I missed that one. I Do think I was born in the wrong era but that’s probably a good thing as I’d be dead by now if not. I Missed seeing all of my jazz heroes perform live except one. Eartha Kitt! There was a London drag queen (Adrella) that always did Champagne tastes and drank a bottle during the song. Eartha came onto the stage part way through, called for security to remove said drag queen from the stage and finished the set. This was a weekend in Butlins in Skegness organised by the late great Paul O’grady. A Moment I’ll never forget.

We own complete DVD sets of 'Allo, 'Allo; Are You Being Served?; Bless Me Father; Fawlty Towers; and The Two Ronnies.  [And Doctor Who from the very beginning through Matt Smith, after which I lost interest]

 

And for your Flanders & Swann education:

That’s wonderful HJB. It has the same cadence as much of Noel Cowards work, I suppose because it’s the same era.  I Actually have one of Noel Cowards old lucifers that was gifted to me by a dear friend of his. I Very much enjoy the sentiment of the ditty.

I am finding it hard to imagine what this 'cheese ball' is made  of, Lois  -  it looks a bit like the stuff gathered up from the kitchen floor when you have had a toddler round for a meal.  Or the fat balls you put out for the birds. 😉
