SC - American Food

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Reminds me of one of the interesting side benefits of my marriage.  I
learned Deep South cooking, he learned New York delights.  Deep South
cooking is more than 'deep-fry that sucker'  and 'judo' is not what you
make bagels out of.

We have Watermelon flavor Jell-O in Los Angeles, for what it's worth. 
I'd rather eat a real watermelon.

HEY!  Somebody besides me uses the term?  I've been trying to push
'South Downs Ale' as the euphemism for the fizzy brown stuff for years. 
'South Downs Light Ale' being Diet Coke [or Ale-Tavia, the unofficial
national drink of the Barony of Altavia, eh Renata? ;-) ]  Pour it in a
tankard and it looks enough like headless dark beer to pass, and it
won't get you into trouble at a dry site.  Of course, real period
potables are preferable and all that, but caffeine addiction is a
difficult thing.
