You can't go anywhere without seeing biscuits, grits, and bacon.
Maybe your Southern nose leads you to these things.

I like jalapeno bagels. Or salt bagels with jalapeno cream cheese.
And you expect us to listen to you in matters of taste and discernment?

I thought we fought a war to settle that issue.

When I write, "chile," does everyone take me literally?
Well I heard you were quite serious about Mexican cuisine.

VLM,
In order for your claim to be correct, those 1,000 people would also have to declare that English bacon (astonishingly similar to ours, I would say the same thing), French lardons, and countless other varieties weren't bacon. Belaboring Kane over what Romans smoked may win you that point, but it won't win you the larger issue. I note that you still haven't answered Cole's question.

In the tradition of US north-south debates, this one isn't bad, actually. Not quite on a level with Lincoln-Douglas, but at the same time somehow meatier.
Actually, I think Joe chides on substance more often than he does on form; but, like Yen Lo, in The Manchurian Candidate, '... always with a little humor.'

My question is, do I have to read that thread about "The Manhattan"? But while I'm here, did you ever hear of anyone, self-respecting, who would cure their "bacon" with sugar? Is that the fascination with the South, the self-loathing part? (If you cured your bacon with sugar, how would you feel? Did you want to add a bit of dill along with that?)

Are you saying that American oak comes from the South?

Using wikipedia, the first paragraph of the bacon article defines bacon as "Bacon is a cured meat prepared from a pig. It is first cured using large quantities of salt, either in a brine or in a dry packing; the result is fresh bacon (also known as green bacon). Fresh bacon may then be further dried for weeks or months in cold air, boiled, or smoked. "
...
Additionally, if you or Jim can provide any counter proof to the generally accepted theory that BLT's descend from Victorian era tea sandwiches, let's see it.
well...all they have to do is edit Wikipedia to say what they believe and then post it here I guess.

I never pegged them as Bachmannn supporters.

Very common in the south.

I would say that jalapeno "bagels" may not really be bagels. That being said, I mostly eat salt bagels and almost exclusively when I'm in NY. No one really makes bagels down here, the make "bagels". I tend to eat biscuits.

The Roman thing is just an extreme example. I don't find it controversial to think about bacon as a Southern food. Just because people have salted and smoked other parts of the pig or also cured the belly doesn't mean that is what we mean when we use the word bacon to describe bacon. We aren't talking about greater bacon, we are talking exactly about what Kane took pictures of. And do we really think he has read those quasi-scholarly articles?
Anyway, it appears as if I can't convince anyone, so I give. I must be wrong because that's the way it works. I'm the climate change denier and it is sort of embarrassing. Let all bacon be equal under the eyes of God.
I also concede that BLTs are not a Southern invention (I never really believed that anyway).
And Shrimp and Grits isn't a low country specialty, it was invented in Williamsburg.
