This is a good thread, not the up tight serious threads we are used to. But lets get down to business.

The official food of Georgia is anything you can fry.

[MayorOfMacon2019]

Yup your beverage options are Atlatna made co-cola, or tea.

Lunch, dinner and supper. Necessary to keep your meals straight. Breakfast is usually a hearty meal...well, it used to be. Dinner is the big meal of the day. Long ago, this was served at noon, with a light supper, usually left-overs from the noon meal. Now-a-days, folks usually have lunch at noon with a heavier dinner in the evening. You can even have lunch and supper - supper being a sandwich or soup or cereal.

Never say Lunch, it does not exist here. Breakfast, Dinner, and Supper.
It is one of them uppity city words
'you are not from around here' words
If you are ever invited to dinner, specify the time. it could be either midday or evening.
Sweet Tea: Ask the waitress to mix it with unsweet and avoid sugar shock
and real men don't drink Hot tea, the waitperson will snicker. If you are male, ask your date to order it for you. If she is southern, it will be your last date.

True!
You never heard Andy Griffith say "Let's get some Lunch!"
It was always dinner and supper.

Hot Tea? What the heck is that?

Yep, to avoid confusion it's important when making plans with people from Georgia to find out the TIME for meals. Sunday dinner in traditional restaurants often ENDS at 2:00 p.m. It can start as early as 11:00 a.m. and seems to be an after church thing.


People in our neck of the woods still eat their main meal of the day from 11:00 - 1:00, even those who are out working. They either go home for dinner or pick up a hot dinner somewhere (like a restaurant or grocery store).

Hot tea drinkers? The only person (male or female) that I've found 'round here who actually drinks hot tea on a regular basis (as opposed to an afternoon special occasion tea party) is a minister who drinks a cup before giving sermons.

PS Bellestar, there are garden mail order catalogues that sell muscadines, so I imagine that they would sell scuppernongs as well. These native grapes require virtually no care and are immune to a lot of the "normal" diseases that afflict bunch grapes.

Bgnzsavnh - I stand corrected. (I work with some Yankees who have "lunch" in the middle of the day.) Noon time meal (yes, 11:00 - 2:00 or thereabouts) is, indeed, "dinner."

Did anybody mention Vidalia onions? Sweetest onions on Earth! Nothing better than a good ol' Vidalia onion sandwich!

If you really want a taste of down home southern cookin' just find a southern church having "dinner on the ground" and go.
