WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
It's cool; folks around here call that "grilling". As in, "We're gonna be grilling some burgers and hot dogs in the back yard on Saturday. Wanna come by, maybe drink a few beers and watch the game?"
For Independence Day, (July 4th) my next door neighbor did the same thing you've got planned.
Gotta love those regional variations in language, huh?
-
I do!.. And Urb: I'm an atheist vegetarian from €urope… Only if I wanted to die I'd come to Tx...
The horror.
Yeah, you'd just die the moment you set foot on that hot BBQ covered holy ground.
-
If you're vegan or vegetarian I would just forgo Texas altogether. You'd get the same treatment as if you had "Atheist" branded on your forehead.
Hahaha, sadly, I think this is true. Even in Houston, easily the most diverse city in Texas, vegetarians are considered odd, unless it's for religious reasons. My wife, who grew up in San Antonio, once confessed to me that she was in her mid twenties before she realized that something without meat could actually be considered a "meal".
-
You should come during Rodeo, Seul. It would be the most otherworldly experience of your life…
And you would be totally safe; Texans try to be kind to the less fortunate (defined as anyone not Texan, but especially folks from unenlightened locales like Europe. Or shudder New York City).
-
Chris, it's not just Texas. I was raised by a strictly working class English father, who contended until the day he died that a meal without meat is not a meal.

Damn Yankees
Although, in the UK anyone from the US is referred to as a Yank, or Yankee by the older generations.

True, and we're ok with that. Non Americans get a pass on the blanket use of Yankee. Southerners tend to get offended if called that by other Americans, though.
Southerners tend to get offended by a lot, now that I think about it. Testy bunch, we are.

True, like being born in a tobacco factory, and not smoking.

True.
I ain't no yank!
-
"Necessary" eliminates too many things that are pleasurable. I choose to do any number of unhealthy things, including eating meat and cheese and drinking beer, because I enjoy them.
I respect anyone else's decision to live their life in a different manner.
-
Tough being an expatriate, isn't it, Urb? I've lived in Texas for 8 years now and I still don't feel like I belong most days. NYC would make me homicidal. Then again, that would probably make me fit in better…
