you know you're in the north when...

The other day I was reading the food section of the newspaper and came across a little bit where they give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to some type of food item. Well wouldn't you know that they listed portabella mushrooms (thumbs up) and okra (thumbs down). Well you know you're living in the North when they give a thumbs down to okra. I honestly don't think they know the total goodness of okra. I guess these people never had a mama to teach them how to cook it properly. Idiots. If these people ever had delicious fried okra they would have NEVER given it a thumbs down. Gah.
