I love the way news reports claim people who live in the southern U.S. eat
fried food all the time. You know, every once in a while I l do like fried
food. But it's not like I eat it every week or even even every month.
Seems to me more people are apt to eat it up north. They seem to like
Friday fish fries Apparently it's a Catholic thing.

I haven't owned a deep fryer since I had a fry-daddy in the 1980's.
Everything "southern" is fried is a myth. I've lived in the south since
1973. I occasionally buy fried chicken... maybe twice a year. But I don't
fry anything at home. I steam or bake most vegetables and I bake or roast
meat.

It's just weird, the stereotype that everything here is fried. Sorry, it's
just not true. But then again, you've never lived in the south. And
neither have the people who wrote that article They don't know what they're
talking about.
