[Old School Hound]

Here’s an innocent little thread, but I’ll bet it’ll bring back some memories, especially amongst our more ‘seasoned’ posters. As someone who grew up in Appalachia, I often find myself grinning when thinking back over the words and sayings we had growing up. For example, we always had a garden, with two kinds of ‘taters.’ We had ‘arsh taters’ which were the regular kind, and ‘sweet taters’. Sweet taters are self-explanatory, but I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I was probably out of college before it dawned on me that ‘arsh taters’, of course, actually meant Irish potatoes.
I went all that time.....

  Anyway, I’d like to hear some of your all’s memories. Granny Bear, you are on the clock.

I love me some fried sweet taters' and fried green t' maters' .   My granny made em' both to perfection.
