The True Southern Filker Litmus Test pt 1: Peanuts IN Coke

Larry Kirby and I were joking about Being Southern Filkers...and exactly what constitutes proof that our Northern Born Friends have converted to our culture. LITMUS TEST # 1: Will they do COKE N' PEANUTS???

No lie--this is DAMN GOOD. Take a bottle of Coke--glass if you can get it--or a grape soda (Nehi if you can find it). Drink a big swallow. Open a packet of ordinary Tom's Peanuts. Make a funnel with your hand and pour some in. Drink Coke and get peanuts in your mouth, Chew and swallow and repeat. If you can do this without vomiting, YOU ARE SOUTHERN.

Found this on YouTube---obviously, this is a YANKEE girl....let's watch...

Gotta take what my poor adoptive Yankee ass can get D: Trust me, when I go home, the fresh stuff is damn near all I eat, lol.

When my Grandma was alive, it was greens, potato salad, chicken, and cobbler. OMFG her cobbler was the best stuff on EARTH. I remember when she died, saying to myself that I would never eat like that again, and you know what? It's true.

Same with my grandmother's peach cobbler--I can still taste it and even though I have the recipe -- "what recipe?"--mine will never be so delicious
