"Grew up in Louisiana and we have the Monday and Tuesday off of school for Mardi Gras. One of my cousins went to college out-of-state. When I was talking to her mom, my aunt, about when Cousin would next be able to come home for a visit, I mentioned since she had off for Mardi Gras, she would be able to come home and make it a long weekend. I was then informed that only Louisiana does that. mind blown"

No fairy bread, but bread with butter and sugar when I was little. Also, ginger ale when sick, not 7-UP or Squirt.

#7 We use all of the pig in the states too, it's just incorporated into different things in different areas. In the northeast, they make this stuff called Scrapple. It's all the leftover bits and organs of the pig, minced to oblivion, and blended with cornmeal. It's sold in a brick shape and you slice it, then fry it in a pan. It's delicious! I couldn't find it down here in the south for a long time. Now certain stores are carrying it. It's really good thin and crispy instead of sliced thick and mushy. Blah lol

#3 The Jamaican beef patty is pretty ubiquitous all over NY City and surrounding areas, sold at delis and street carts.
#18 Is pretty clueless about the massive homegrown music scene in the Twin Cities, especially Minneapolis. Famous musicians/bands from Minnesota: Bob Dylan, The Replacements, Husker Dü, Soul Asylum, Trampled by Turtles, Jathwks, The Andrews Sisters, etc.
