The Cozy Corner

[ScarletDaisy]

Like I get why everything down here is a "coke" but damnit if it's not Coke it's not a coke ya know?

They're all coke.

Unless you're old school Atlanta country. Then it's just co-cola

My grandfather-in-law always asked me, "Hey gal, you wan' a cold co-cola?"

And yes, I always did.

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

Sounds awesome to me. A great way to be the hero and get some love.

Yeah but, he really doesn't want to see me
he just wants me to do things for him

I go with hotdish but I can’t claim that tag for my state.

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

You mean, SODA?! Next you're going to tell us it's called Hotdish instead of Casserole (which is most certainly the CORRECT terminology here), aren't you!

but but
Hotdish and casserole are two different things!!!!
Well not really... Every hotdish is a casserole

but every casserole is NOT a hotdish

Ok so see...I grew up on casseroles of every type color and description...but to me after living in the great white north a little while, hotdish is like a specific conglomeration similar to a shepherds/cottage pie without the crust

There are casseroles, and then there are hot appetizers, dips, and hors d'oeuvres. And for the love of God if you tell me its called Tater Tot Hotdish I don't know if any amount of single socked, hot black coffee and legging shots can make up for it!

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

it's true though

A hotdish is designed to be a complete, one-pot main meal
Casseroles can be a main dish, side dish, or even breakfast

I feel incredibly inauthentic for using proper names or thereabouts.

Coca-Cola - Coke
Fanta - Fanta
Sprite - Sprite

And so on.
And so forth.

I mean
that makes far more sense to me than calling Sprite a Coke

Well, aren’t you fancy… must be a proper UK thing.

Also, sounds a bit posh to call something by its proper name.

I also call all bandages band-aids

When you grow up in Coke's homeland, it's all coke.

Kinda like the old Tootsie roll commercials.

And Sprite came out of a big machine that said COKE on it.

 

[naughty_stories]

I grew up in Atlanta. I always called them all cokes. What kind of coke do you want?

Now I call them soda.

Louisiana was the same, everything was a cold drink... at least Atlanta has the excuse of being the home of Coke

That is so very foreign to me.

Okay that's fair because nobody says gelatin everybody says Jello and nobody spells ketchup well actually I'm not even going to go there because the whole catsup versus the ketchup thing is a whole English syntax argument

I sometimes spell it both ways- I have no clue why….

Trust me it's a whole rabbit hole you don't want to go down

*Preens*

Ever so British.

Well, Welsh.

Off to Google … preen?

I do too
and facial tissue is all kleenex to me

 

[CJamarous]

No no no no, see, you're confused. It's okay, we can't all be superior Wisconites. So let me explain. Casseroles are and can be main meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner) as well as side dishes. Then there's just everything else. Hotdish is just some made up, looney, Minnesota thing which for some unknown reason became a thing.

I I do that too I don't know why but I call all vinaigrettes the Summer's Eve

Well, Welsh.

Oh priming and preening. Yeah.

I avoid that whole ketchup minefield, by sticking to mustard, specifically spicy brown mustard as my go to condiment choice
