Excellent post. Now I feel bad for my joke comment.
You're not wrong, I found that you must also crave taco's and random cultural imports depending on your region. There's a lot of people with central European heritage where I live, so there's some odd dishes that come up.
I had to inherit supporting the Green Bay Packers from my in-laws. The only other option would be the Chicago Bears based on the regional juxtaposition.
Or be thrust underground because you live in a small town with every third house having a political sign for the other guy. Also, gotta make sure you pick a religion, just in case.
The US is well known for the trope of hopping in the car to visit a neighbor a few streets away, I've done it myself living 6 streets from my in-laws.
Also, being in a small town the roar of truck exhausts and Harley Davidsons is a constant. Coming from the UK, seeing the shape of some vehicles on the street is shocking, rusting trucks held together with duct tape and prayer.
Yeah, it might have been a joke comment, but there's a lot of truth to it.
Thanks, i appreciate that.
I was going to include teams based on where you are, but the whole thing was getting too long.
I grew up in Wisconsin and hate the Packers. No one cared about the Packers at all until they got decent after decades of abject misery and failure. They were such a joke that a player who was traded there sued because Green Bay sucks so bad to live in. Should be a good game tomorrow.
