I hate this. I have lived in MN my whole life and I have never even seen lutefisk. And... about 99% of the people I know have never seen it.

Wait, don't people in GA have sex with their cousins?!

Can't believe all stereotypes dude.

I've never eaten a pigs foot in my life. If you want to debate cuisine, Georgia is gonna win this by a landslide. And I'm not just talking about fried chicken and black-eyed peas and deep-pit BBQ but delicacies like lowcountry boil, brunswick stew, shrimp, oysters and crab FRESH out of the ocean.

Why do people come SOUTH for vacation? GOOD WEATHER + GOOD EATS. Nobody goes to Minnesota for either.

Nobody in MN likes Southern food, not nobody, but it's not "raved" about. We like our Sausages, Beef, and Steak like the rest of the Upper Midwest.

MN has great weather in the summer and fall....GA has great weather in the spring and fall. Nobody likes winter iin either state, and I KNOW nobody in MN says, "let's go to GA in the winter to get away". They go to FL or CA or HI instead, but most likely Mexico.

Hmmmm. This is a close one. For sheer variety of landforms and landscapes, I gotta give it to GA. Seashore and mountains trump forests and prairie. For cities, it's MN. For history, GA. For wilderness, MN. Weather? Again, MN--yes it is personal preference. I can tolerate a long cold winter easier than a long humid summer. Politics? Again, personal preference: I prefer the blue states. I voted MN (but mostly because I live here!). I do like GA a lot, tho.

Two dat.
HA HA HA Johnny Hypocrite! You Brave fans carry on a long held southern tradition of whining about your losing ways. Heck you guys still whine about Ron Gant falling off 1st base when Kent (T-Rex) Hrbek slapped him with a tag back in the '91 World Series. Boo hoo hoo, that big guy pushed our guy off the base.

BASEBALL - BASEBALL - Who's On First? Not Gant - NYTimes.com

Senile Bobby Cox hardly stopped moaning for 20 years about the "conspiracy" of turning the fans on and off in the Dome and returns this year and starts crying about the color of the limestone at Target Field and whining about how his flat footed 3rd baseman can't see the white baseball against the yellow limestone on ground balls! Har Har Har, talk about whiners. Nothing ever changes with the Braves and their fans whining.

Pig's feet is an Irish delicacy imported to the South by Scots-Irish settlers. Oddly enough, it is also a delicacy in Korea, currently the largest growing ethnic group in Georgia (by the time the 2010 Census comes out, Georgia will have the second largest Korean outside of Korea. )

Don't be so provincial

Pickled pigs feet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT:

PS.

I do not eat pigs feet or lutefisk or any kind of preserved food.

Uh, no we don't. That was 19 years ago. BTW, that article is from 1991...
