I'm this same way about American geography, especially the national parks. But I would go to war to defend fried okra's good name

I don’t know if I’d go to war over fried okra. Depending how good it is I’d participate in a lively debate.

I feel this way about mac and cheese and greens. Who made it matters. My grandma couldn’t make anything but fried chicken. Her greens made the house smell like diesel and her mac was dry as hell. But my mom’s mac has four types of shredded cheese and cream cheese to keep it moist and it’s amazing.
