Comment if this applies to you.

I grew up in Eastern NC and I gotta say our BBQ is the best.

Sounds about right.

belk

cheese biscuits

Don't forget the ICONIC Piggly Wiggly t-shirts too.

I lived in Texas for half a year and this is all true, thank god I'm back in California.

NC is also home to the iconic fast food restaurant chain Cook-Out

I'm in Texas but I live in Houston so half of that doesn't apply to me. But y'all is the standard here.

Sounds about Right.
If you go to the Bojangles in Eastern NC they have the Cheddar Bo.Not as good as their Boberry Biscuits but I'm more of someone who prefers meat and eggs.

"LMS if..." teas

You forgot:
-You knew good from bad bourbon at least 5 years before you could legally drink

I love Cook Out's burger tray.I didn't even know they had an actual website

When I learned geography the books never counted Texas as Southern, it was always Southwestern

All true. I hate living in the south. Unless you live in a major city or college town, chances are you are surrounded by red necks and lots of ignorance.

I find them disgusting too but the grocery store has it readily stocked in the meat case.


That is true, but then again, it could be said for most of the country

All of it applies to me in NC

What area

Forget North Carolina. Where are my Tennessee gyals at!?
