My point was that I grew up in St Louis. NO one who grew up there ever considerd it anything but midwestern - I don't know what people you are talking about when you say 'many have argued that St Louis is a xouthern city,' but I'd bet they weren't born and raised there. I did visit CHicago when I was a child, my father and his family lived there. But they were also NAs from Oklahoma, so they probably don't count. As far as LA is concerned, you can find just about anything there - I know of one clinic that has a staff of translators who speak about 47 different languages to deal with the non-American clients. When you have that large a minority population, you have just as large a different cuisinie.



I didn't say BBQ is not southern, I said it's ubiquitous. Chicken fried steak was also referred to as chuckwagon steak when I was in school, and we got it for lunch at least once a week. Having anything that often in a school cafeteria pretty much argues that it's a local tradition.



The south isn't the only part of the US where people raised pigs for meat, believe me. Most of the small farms in the midwest had milk cows, not meat cattle. If there is one cow providing milk for the family, that one calf that comes every year is not going to be butchered for meat unless it's a bull calf. A heifer is going to be sold or traded. Pigs were the meat animal of choice, whether they were left to run wild in the woods or kept penned, and yes, everything but the squeal was made use of. Where do you think souse, headcheese, or blood sausage came from? Or pickled pig's feet? And I can also personally attest to the fact that pigs left to run wild in the woods rooting for what they can find, are indeed tougher and stringier than corn-fed hogs.

kari, you are arguing against a deaf ear. This person has become quite the poster on the Oklahoma forums lately and doesn't exactly listen to logic. Feel free to argue, but your arguments are falling on deaf (and intolerant) ears.

I rather agree. But this way I get to blow off steam. And you never know, someone else with more brains and fewer opinions may read and consider.

Casey you are a hoot! Stillwater is a great place. It's a college community with a strong international presence due to its role as a research university. Many students come from India, Indonesia, China, and Africa to learn new methods in ag-related areas (crop and food production) although the university also has one of the best business colleges in the country as well. The Strip is a stretch of road just south of the campus that has bars and restaurants (no casinos or bright lights). It's called the strip because it was the place that streakers showed their stuff during the 60's. Eskimo Joe's is a restaurant/bar with live music and its a favorite hangout with the student population. It's located just east of the ROTC building. We are not the fast-paced environment of San Diego but those who attend enjoy their time here. We are very friendly and their is a strong sense of community and college spirit.
