2. I put salted peanuts in my RC Cola.

It's best with the RC Cola in a bottle. :)
It's a Southern tradition. You have a moonpie with the RC Cola.

8. The bottle is essential -- it will not work in a can

At many of the convenience stores in my hometown, you could find the bags of salted peanuts right next to the case of bottled cokes.

33. I grew up in Chattanooga too!

:hi: Lovely city--I like going back and visiting my parents. I might go back to live some day in the vague and distant future. In the meantime I've been enjoying watching that weasel Corker self-destruct from my far-away vantage point! :D

17. It's sort of marshmallowy. It's hard to explain. It's a firmer filling

Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 02:56 PM by CottonBear

than, for instance, Marshmallow Fluff. I don't like marshmallows but I do like Moonpies (the classic chocolate flavor ones. )

18. Okay, yeah I don't eat gelatin because it's not vegetarian.

As long as the filling is vegetarian, I could eat it.

26. Moonpie links for you my dear haruka3_2000:

http://www.moonpie.com/
http://www.favoritesof.com/products/moonpieframe.html

The south’s favorite snack food, the MoonPie originated in 1917 in Chattanooga. MoonPie is a graham-like cracker, marshmallow covered with Chocolate, Vanilla, Orange, Strawberry or Banana flavors.
They are legendary, they are mythical, but above all they are delicious. Taste the southern tradition…MoonPie. Try one with a Double Cola or RC Cola.

20. Think of a moonpie

as a southern equivalent of a ho-ho or a twinkie.
theres no telling what they are really made of.

As for salt in sodas,its kinda like putting salt in beer.
It releases the carbonation which inturn peps up the flavor

14. Oh, come on, you have to try it once. Peanuts/Coke is an easy one.

Try this and I will never suggest you eat boudin or pickled pigs feet.

So a bunch of your cooking is out, I think.

23. Yeah, you're probably right. We love pork in all forms.

I do make damn good seafood gumbo, though. Lots of my cooking is seafood based, as I've always lived pretty close to the Gulf/Atlantic. I was at a loss during my days in the desert.

25. Yeah, I couldn't imagine living in an area that didn't have good seafood.

Hell, I practically lived off of fresh fish this summer. Spent most of it up the the beach in CT. We went fishing almost every morning, always got some fresh clams at the beach, and occaisionally bought some lobsters straight off the docks (or my stepdad would get them scuba diving).

We try to do it every weekend. I couldn't dive for lobster this season, as I'm pregnant.:(

5. Ewwwww.....

As if it didn't have enough sodium in it already. :eyes: Mountain Dew is nothing but sugar, caffeine, and (now) salt. I couldn't stand MD when I drank soft drinks. I can't even stand the thought now, let alone loading it up with salt. :puke:

9. I put a little pinch of salt in my pepsi, yeah.

It cuts the sweetness, but salt in Mountain Dew just sounds nasty.

19. Salt enhances sweetness. I knew a girl who salted watermelon

she was from down south and said it was common.

Later on I learned that sweet things need a pinch of salt to augment the sweetness.
