I am not a southerner but my mother did here navy beans just like yours and we never stopped eating them, either. I think that back in the 30s and 40s my folks didn't have enough money to eat very fancy.

I was so shocked when I got in the Army and saw southern boys putting any kind of hot sauce on their fried eggs. I have always loved that one food but never learned to add anything other than a little salt and a tiny bit of pepper.

Speaking of fried eggs, I was amazed at a black kid from Ada, Oklahoma keeping 40 eggs on the griddle at a time and serving them any way you wanted them, over easy, rock hard or sunny side up. I sometimes just stood there and watched him and asked him how he did it. God, he was good and never gave anything but over easy.

Gawdamighty I am nearly 81 and this thread is the first place I have ever heard of Dukes. Maybe my wife will know about such.

I can at least allow MW in some strenous circumstances such as that one trip to Washington state. Those West Coasters don't have any good stuff over there. Hell they don't even put sugar in their friggin' tea!

Something just ain't right about em'.

I can see that you weren't around during WW II to learn to drink iced tea without sugar. We had to do that because my mother canned so much and the ration for canning wasn't enough sugar for her. I never got started using sugar in such after that.

Of course, he was not. Remember he is our "toddler" age wise.

I was not there, for ice tea beverages sugared or otherwise. I; however, am not a toddler. :D

I don't think you've been a toddler since there were dinosaurs roaming the earth. :mrgreen: Sorry couldn't help myself.

Yes I wasn't even born yet.

Green switch, no Legos, Hellman's Mayo on your tomato sandwich, and no sugar in your tea. :hunf:

Born and bred to the bone Virginian. I spent one night in Chicago due to an airline snafu. I devowed NEVER to be in that city again. I have gone to such lengths to avoid it that on a flight west I took on two lay overs to avoid Chicago.

The few vacations I went on a plane I was blessed not to be stuck in that wretched cesspool. The worst I had to endure was Denver Colorado.

And all the money in the world could not bring me to San Fransisco.

You do, of course, remember a time sometime ago when I declared you twice his age and we had to discuss that. I know he wasn't around back then but so very few here were and surely none of the progs were. They don't want to believe that when a bureaucratic group can proclaim rationing of medical care it could be so bad. I remember the days of rationing during that war. Like one pair of new shoes each year. Meat was rationed along with other foods like sugar. I don't know how FDR and his Dems checked on women who got extra sugar to can with like they would do today.

I was in San Francisco several times in 1954 and thought it a good city to play around in. Of course, progressives hadn't taken over the state yet.

One city in California I swore never to enter again was Monterey. I went there with my black friend that year and we were turned down for a room in a hotel because Joe wasn't white. I told the desk clerk where he could put the room he had for me and almost went over the counter after him. We had so few black people in western Kansas back then but we weren't nearly as r****t as too many people in California. I wouldn't go to that state for any reason now although there are many places there that I would love to see, like on vacation.
