What are you accustomed to?
I was posting on another board and was telling a story on how a Horse and Buggy (Amish) is common to me. Its just something I'm used to. But people
from outta town find this to be almost fascinating.
But when I heard about fried pickels, it was the craziest shit ever to think of frying a pickel.
What are things you are accustomed to in your area, that others may find crazy?

I've just moved down to the eastern shore (maryland) not to long ago from baltimore. There's shit i tell people down here about the stuff that happend
back in baltimore that they think is weird. Like the fact that there used to be icecream trucks in my neighborhood that sold cigarettes.
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

I think the biggest thing about Virginia I see is the ongoing debate as to whether it is a "Southern" state or not. apparently VA is a bastard that
belongs nowhere. We all know it is south of the Mason Dixon and that settles the argument, but tell that to someone in North Carolina.

Yes. You are correct BD. The icecream truck thing was from lansdowne.
I've also seen some other crazy shit from the different parts of baltimore city that i've lived in.

alot of the things in RI are food based, but a couple are weird based on names...
New York System weiners... they make them in Rhode Island and they dont have them in New York!
Manhattan Style Clam Chowder... its the red kind rather than the white and its the 'main' kind in Rhode Island.
Our biggest is Coffee Milk. Most people dont even know what it is!

I thought Rhode Island had it's own kind of clam chowder with clear broth. "Rhode Island clam chowdah" And when I see clam chowder here in Manhattan
I never see the shit with the red broth. Havent seen it even once yet.
For NYC, the idea of walking everywhere or not having a car (though I have one) is pretty foreign to people in the burbs. My friends come to visit
and we walk all around Manhattan and it's nothing to me. Theyre saying "MAN, I havent walked this much in a long ass time!" Took me a while to get
used to since I grew up in the burbs driving everywhere.
In CT liquor stores closed at 8:00 everyday and arent open on Sundays. Now theyre open until 9:00, but some friends from out of state still find it
odd.

I think maybe thats some kind of fish stew or something, but for clam chowder we have RED which is called MANHATTAN STYLE and we have WHITE which is
just called WHITE and its a cream based soup.

I've always heard the white clam chowder referred to as New England Clam Chowder, and the red As Manhattan.

Deep-fried pepperoni.

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

^^^^ it did. Clevo jsut claims to have a better one than NYC. I have never had one in NYC but Sams deli and Reubens deli has the 2 really awsome
sandwiches.
Maybe I miss understood the thread. My bad. I thought it was about what you are used to like locally and not where things originated. My bad.
