JustJeff88 posted:As a disclaimer, I recently lived in two different small cities in Georgia over the space of two years. I will be the first to admit that the state is mostly appallingly hot, humid weather and racism, but given the ludicrous CoL in NYC I find it very hard to imagine literally anything in Georgia (outside of Atlanta, perhaps) being more expensive. I once was offered a job at NYU; the wage wasn't bad but the cost of living is so ludicrous that I would have been working full-time for the joyous privilege of illegally subletting a cardboard box under a bridge somewhere. The cost of food in NYC isn't very high though. Especially basic staples like bread, cheese, and lunchmeat, and especially if you can buy them in commercial amounts like a shop can. You can certainly buy super fancy expensive versions if you want of course.

StrangersInTheNight posted:not everywhere has 'em. i just moved from nyc to ga and i'm having trouble coping with the lack of deli counters serving sandwiches. used to be i couldn't go ten feet without running into a place that could make me a sandwich, 24 hours no less. Now I think the closest place is the Wal-Mart? Ugh, what sad semi-rural burb have you washed up in that there isn't even a Publix for sandwiches?

Missouri has a specific law passed to allow restaurants, markets, and other places that sell fish commercially to call "crab stick" - AKA imitation crab meat that is made from processing several kinds of cooked fish, seaweed, and glycerin filler together and contains 0% crab meat - "Real Crab" and be exempt from truth in advertising laws, civil damages related to this deception (except for permanent injury), and supply chain rules. The logic is that it would damage the tourism industry in Missouri if people were aware that they couldn't get fresh crab meat in Missouri.

Seeing how that's right next to Branson, I think the clientele is either self selecting or there involuntarily with their grandparents. So yeah, they probably love the gently caress out of some Crab Stick.

The state doesn't have the power to do that, only the FDA and USDA can handle the regulation of such things. So if there's really a bunch of places calling it just "real crab" with no disclaimers, you can report that poo poo to them and get the places in question fined or even shut down. Most likely those places are using officially approved terms like "imitation crab" or "crab-flavored seafood" in a way suitable visible to meet the rules eg the same way spray cheese has "processed cheese spread product" at at least a certain size on the can. It is pretty funny that they would pass a law to protect a Japanese food primarily produced nowhere near Missouri though - most of it is produced on the West Coast and most of the rest is produced in Minnesota of all places.

I have been to the most arse-end rural parts of Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and other remote areas of the British Isles, but I had never found myself unable to understand an English-speaking person until I found myself in northwest Georgia. Also, and I say this as a Brit who loves his proper tea and iced tea, I'm pretty sure that "sweet tea" is really just sugar water (emphasis on sugar) with brown dye in it.

Yeah, that's because you're a Brit and your speech is closer to every dialect on that island than American dialects. I'd happily parse you some mountain talk if you could serve as interpreter next time I'm at a Subway in a remote Scottish town.
