Yup. And with a whole onion at the bottom the bean pot that's been in the family for 3 generations and there's salt pork at the top of the pot... .

I'm sorry but I limit the eating of onions that have been in the bottom of the family bean pot for just one generation....three generation onions will surely spoil the pot!

Does not mean you have to like it. My father fed some to my daughter and her cousin (both age 3 at the time). My daughter swallowed with a look of distaste and my nephew took it out of his mouth and handed it back. Just had to share that story as we thought it was a riot. My father is the only one in my family that ENJOYS the stuff.

SAMIAM · 10-12-2009, 07:06 PM

So funny,Newbiesaukee.....but you should have had a "D"
Natives that appreciate all the visitors to the lakes region.They pay taxes and get few services,support our business' and most of them are really nice people.
I vote all "D's"
Oh,..........if you want to be a real native....you must like fried pickled tripe......I have some coming in soon.

I worked in Mass for many years. Nobody there asked me how I wanted my money spent.

Variety makes for a spicy life but I -almost- wish there were a season where everybody would just stay home so we could have the place to ourselves for a while.

I have young kids (ages 4 and 8) and can sooooooooo picture this scenario... LOL!

Back to the quiz...

You forgot to measure distance in hours... Example: In response to the question of how far Ossipee is from Alton, you answer, "It's exactly 30 minutes."

A native also knows how to give directions by landmarks that were present 20 years ago but only other natives would remember.... Example: "Take a right on School Street then a left where the Smith House was...."

But here's something I've wondered... What's up with people drinking condensed milk in their coffee? Or is that just a Laconia thing?

Newbiesaukee · 10-13-2009, 07:05 AM

Samiam..of course D is the correct answer. I have had Menudo and the French version but never fried. But what's not to like. I also found a vegetarian version of Red Flannel Hash on the internet, but I doubt it would pass the true NH native test.

upthesaukee · 10-13-2009, 07:08 AM

Being able to put an out-of-stater in his place without being mean-spirited:

Texan asked a NH farmer how big his place was, and the farmer said: "it goes to that tree line over theyah, that's Smith's trees. Back to Wilson's creek down yondah. and over to Jones' stone wall right theyah."

Texan said he had a ranch that he could get into his truck and drive for hours and never get to a property line.

NH farmer said: "Ahyup, I had a truck like that once myself"

Lesson learned.

BroadHopper · 10-13-2009, 10:23 AM

I once ask a farmer if he has seen a UFO.

He replied, 'Am happy with my GMC!'

______________________________________
Well! I lived in Laconia for almost 30 years, and this is a new one on me. I do like flavored coffee, so I might be tempted to try it just once, though!

No longer there, but a NH native who is part of the diaspora (not Jewish, but dispersed!), I'd have to agree with Samiam's "D"...it is the smart attitude.

Onshore · 10-13-2009, 11:00 AM

You will argue in support of a position relative to politics or taxes that you don't even agree with just because you enjoy arguing about politics and taxes.

You sincerely believe that NH should have the first primary because political discourse is our official state sport.

You can't pass the salt at dinner without first negotiating terms.

You give directions based entirely on landmarks that no longer exist.

Don't think it's a Laconia thing, my Dad and Granddad always drank condensed milk in their coffee. They were from East Boston. They said they did it because cream was scarce during the war.

I'm not totally buying it, my Dad was six when WWII ended. I'm guessing that it's just cheaper than cream and tastes better than milk, it's sweetened. I've tried it, it's not bad.

Q: Who dresses in a red flannel shirt, and dress slacks and shoes, then visits small-town restaurants and eats red flannel hash?

A: A presidential candidate on his first trip to NH.

Gearhead · 10-13-2009, 11:52 AM

I almost forgot about this one - You're from NH if you put blue cheese on your apple pie.

SAMIAM · 10-13-2009, 07:33 PM

Gearhead...I've always put blu cheese on my apple pie......my wife and daughter almost barf

New to me! Laconians were brought up with Weeks whole milk. From the local farmers. And Weeks ice cream!

Maybe a French Canadian thing?????
