No Ma'am...

I was born in Ft. Texas, intentionally as far as I know,
too.

I just happen to like Maple Syrup, and for that matter, I am
fond of Birch Syrup which is a little harder to find.

I make darned good Pan-Cakes ( or Flap-Jacks, or
Griddle-Cakes, or Johnney-Cakes, Hot-Cakes or whatever the
hell they are, they 'are'...pretty good when I do 'em...)
and I got into the Maple ( or 'Birch') syrup oweing to
that...and...it IS good on Grits, too! - well with lots of
Butter of course...

Make mighty good 'Corn-Gems' too ( and have the old smooth
Iron baking pans to do so as are no spring Chickens,
either...) Or Corn Bread in the 'pan' or skillet...and Corn
Meal Mush...yum!

I make a swell Oakra-and-Stewed-Tomatoes (with the minced up
Bacon in it and so on...) and a good 'Et-too-fey' or
whatever IT is spelled as, but there are no Crawdads up ( or
over) here in sorry old lasvegas...and I can do a damned
good Bar-B-Que...and...

As a boy, I admired there will still fellows as would NOT
wear...a 'Blue' suit for work, church or liesure...and
followed closely the last, attenuated attrition of the few
remaining survivors of the Great Conflict...

...while I may not be a Southerner, I am no Yankee...!

Ohhhhhhh...

And Grits! - I love them!

How can one not?
