That's because we all know it was invented in Virginia, not Georgia.
Daddy worked for VEPCO and at their annual picnic on Belle Isle, back
when VEPCO owned it, they'd cook up a huge kettle of the stew, and
he'd bring us home some. Yummy and so filling. I'd eat it because he
assured me it contained only chicken, no squirrel. I didn't want to
eat any cute little squirrels.

Daddy also liked souse. Yuck, sorry. Add that to the saying about how
you're better off not knowing what goes into making sausage and laws.

BTW all this talk about talk and food may seem a bit silly, but some
future historian, long after our accents and our regional foods are
gone, may find this extremely fascinating.
