Bacon is not my vodka friend Bacon infused vodka may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but selling this improbable beverage in Oklahoma could land you in hot water. This we learned today from the woes of Colin Grizzle - yes, really - a manager at the Pump bar in Oklahoma city, who was charged with maintaining a disorderly house after bottles of infused vodka …
Say wha...huh?
"Okie" was the derogatory term used during the dustbowl for migrants from Oklahoma to California. Folks there might like to be called Sooners, but they're far more likely to be called Okies.
The only term I've ever heard for folks from the Ozark Mountains (and I grew up 'round there) is "hillbilly."
Better carry your birth certificate withyou at all times.
If you use a public restroom you might be challenged just in case you were a transgendered person daring to use the room that is NOT the one of their birth sex.
A M-to-F persone would still have to use the Male restroom even if they were legally a woman.
The same goes for North Carolina. Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen cancelled some gigs earlier this year in NC because of this crazy bathroom law.
Gotta protect the crazies from seeing our wimmin!
Ordered by my missus in Oklahoma City (we were doing a cross Murica road trip from GA to CA.) It had some French liqueur in it, violets or something. Very well balanced, delicate, not too sweet or overpoweringly boozy. Perfection, IMHO.
The bar was banging out G n' R, which we danced to, and... and... my memory fails after that point.
As to the bemusement of Brits encountering the strips of lard called bacon here in the USA, I finally figured it out! You gently heat strips of the things until the lard melts off. Then turn the heat up a bit. Decamp the crispy jerky impersonators to a paper towel to soak off the excess. Crack in egg or two into the lake o' lard and fry as usual. Fried bread optional. The lard imparts flavo(u)r[1] and is good hearty morning scram, or a general purpose day after bear soaker. Note: Don't use the really cheap "bacon", go to Whole Wallet and splash out for something that is not 100% subcutaneous oinker fat.
