Aso, my roommate in college was from Michigan. We were eating at a country diner one day and I ordered soup beans with my meal. When I got my food he said, "Man, I wish I'd ordered that. I love bean soup."

Evidently pinto beans are 'bean soup' in Michigan and 'soup beans' in Kentucky.

I know what bean soup is, but I'm still a little fuzzy on soup beans--even though Watusi has tried to educate me on multiple occasions.

I currently have a professor who thinks there is an 'r' on the end of the word idea. "The idear behind this is..."

For some reason Wal-Mart developed an "S". Every time I hear directions, they say, " Turn at the Wal-Marts and go about a mile". This also works for K Marts, Krogers, and virtually every other store.

My parents still do this. We always crack up and ask, "How many Wal-Marts you going to this time?"

Get away from those backward people, anyone that has not had or does not sell "pickled baloney" just ain't ever had any good eatin.

:lol::sssh::sssh: I have also heard of a 4 way there as well :scared:.

Can't say I've ever even seen pickled baloney. Oh, and if you like 4-ways you might even like a 5-way. If you're REALLY adventurous, you'll try a gator. :thumb:

 

Actually, there is a Skyline restaraunt in our area in Russell, Ky. I can honestly say that I have never seen over a couple of cars parked in the lot at any time.... if that many, the lot is usually empty.

Then they need some educatin'!

You can tell if a Kentuckian is married if both doors on the pickup has backer

spit on them. My brother likes listnen to the raydow in his pickemup. Dad calls gravy pordew. Any one heered that one. I never heard a shopping cart called a buggy.

In eastern Kentucky "idea" is pronounced "idy".

I've never heard of a shopping cart being referred to as a buggy.

 

Never heard of hot dog suauce, although it sounds like a coney.

 

 

What a wonderful state we live in.

 

:banana:

1."shopping carts" as you people call them are commonly refered to as Buggys here.

2. Something like it, the sauce is more of a thicker type sauce.

3. Yes we certainly do live in a wonderful state.

 

Is this "sauce" the same thing as our Cincy chili, or is it a different product all-together?

 

Different al together, our "h.d. sauce" is a meat sauce but does not have the same taste/flavor to it at all.

Oh, and I'd never heard the term "buggy" used for anything other than a baby carriage or a dune vehicle until someone posted a regional dialect survey here a few years ago.

 

I don't know if anyone else around here does this, but we've always called them "baskets."

Then I don't know how that you could ever go to a "Wally's World" (wal mart) or a grocery store around here unless you just got a coupe of items, you would need a buggy to put several items in.

 

We invented a new bug called a wasper.....not to be confused with a wasp.

:laugh::laugh::thumb: We have those here as well.

Not only are you not gojng to be able to get groceries w/o a buggy to push them around in.......now with not understanding "Soup Beans" you could starve in our part of the world :lol:................you ain't had no eatin' untill you have had a mess of soup beans with a big ol' hamhock cooked in them and cornbread .

I'm starting to get the picture that "soup beans" is bean soup that you eat like baked beans.

That's exactly what it is.

Here's the shopping buggy.

That's exactly what it is.

Yeah, that's definitely not our stuff--too thick and chunky. If you can't drink it through a straw, it ain't our chili.

In eastern Kentucky "idea" is pronounced "idy".

 

 

As in "Got any I.D.?

 

"bout whut?"

I'm starting to get the picture that "soup beans" is bean soup that you eat like baked beans.

 

Very simply it's pinto beans soaked overnite and slow cooked in a crockpot. Many prefer served with diced onions, cornbread, and catsup. Not my taste but many like saurkraut served alongside. It's kept many a poor family from starving in hard times and that's why so many have developed a taste for it.

I have an uncle that lives in Ohio but is from Barbourville, Ky. I love it when he says he from Barvul, Ky. And I can remember my grandpa would slurp his coffee from the saucer instead of a cup.

I was guilty of that as a young boy. I learned when I left that I had very little chance of anyone knowing where I was talking about if I pronounced it correctly but zero chance if I said Bar'vul. I guess it's like Louivillians who say they're from Lou'vulle.
