6 - Can anyone say Taylor Ham?!? Or pork roll?!? Thank you! Supposedly even NY'ers don't have it! It's round slices of pressed pork, very salty, fried and eaten like bacon; either on a kaiser roll (talyorhameggandcheese, ketchupsaltpepper) or at home on the side.

OMG!!! My father used to make it when I was a kid, I have memories of waking up to the smell.

it's funny how often I'll look at the map and say, ah, Belleville used to be called Nutley when I lived there. It's certainly grown leaps and bounds.

My wife had grown up in central PA and recalls "the car needs washed..." or "the lawn needs mowed...", proposed to be a shortening the German "needs ....... to be" where the "to be" was at the end of the sentence.

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

Also, people here eat breakfast, dinner, and supper instead of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We also drink "pop", not soda, and water is heated with "hot water heaters". Shouldn't they be cold water heaters?

What I have figure is that the West coast tends to be polite, even if it ends up rude in the long run. While the East coast tends to be very forward even if it is rude in the short term.

JOHN - Vegan SPAM?!?!? Yowzers, what a thing for a company to even think of creating! I'm mostly vegetarian (not vegan), and I've been in a few vegan groups hoping for healthy recipes & such. Well. Imagine my surprise when the people in those groups happily exclaim, "I was today-years-old when I learned Oreos are vegan! Hooray!". Well, apparently there's a market for vegan SPAM. Hmm, who woulda thought?

yep pretty much

You might imagine my surprise, even at my age, learning after a questionable response to me, that "Bless you" is a negative thing to use, when I looked it up. It is not what I expect, from being among others in church.

That's actually an extremely Swedish thing, to the point that that tiny leftover bit of food is known, in Sweden, as svenskbiten, meaning "the Swedish bite"!

In the Netherlands we give three.
In Finland: no kisses, but a hug.
In the Combrailles in France: two cheek kisses.
Our Parisian neighbors: four cheek kisses.
And yes, you always begin with the left cheek. Unless you want to have an accident.
Guess the amount of confusing situations![]()

Curious about one other thing....don't know how universal or regional. The types of acknowledgement shown to the oncoming driver on a rural road. If you know the driver, you might often slow down roll down window (yes, even in winter) and engage in banter. But if you don't know the driver, you....
a) roll down the window and wave as you continue driving,
b) leave one hand on the wheel and wave with the other hand,
c) leave both hands on the wheel and raise the fingers of one hand in greeting,
d) leave both hands on the wheel and raise only the little pinky of one hand. or
e) leave both hands on the wheel with no hand movement and only raise your eyebrows or give slight nod in acknowledgement of the passerby.
Around here, c and d appear to be equally employed with occasionally e being observed.

Hi Nina. For how long are you living in France, and not in the Netherlands?
Since about 2022 (for some people already 2021) it has changed. At least it has in my surroundings... Now everybody here wants to hug! No more kisses on the cheek (or in the air).
