[00:01:14]>> And she had an encounter with her dad that led to this video over what she's holding in her hand right now.

[00:01:20]>> Yes. Dad said he would like to have some roasters. [laughter] Roasted.

[00:01:28]roasting ears.

[00:01:28]>> Roasting ears. And I said, "Dad, I'll go to the store and I'll get some roasting ears." But I don't know if I go asking them if they have some roasting ears because they might not know what I'm talking about. [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:01:40]>> But around here, I'm sure they know what roasters is. Cuz on the way to the store, my son was with me and I said, "Do you know what roasters are?" And he quickly said, "Yeah, mom. It's corn on the cob." I was like, "Okay." [laughter] >> All right. So yeah, these are very good uh roasted on the grill >> and I think that's where the name comes from is roasting years years of corn for roasting and our Scottish bro and our Irish accent and our old English all blended together here in these mountains turns into roasting ears.

[00:02:15]>> Roasting ears >> instead of roasting ears.

[00:02:16]>> Roasting ears.

[00:02:17]>> But it tastes >> I like saying that. But you have also called them ears of corn.

[00:02:52]>> It does. It is amazing how they do. They taste just like [laughter] corn.

[00:02:57]But you know, I just I just think it's amazing how that we have got this whole language that maybe some out there's not heard. [laughter] So I mean >> and and it's something to be proud of. I know a lot of outsiders want to paint it a as ignorant people mispronouncing words.

[00:03:18]No.

[00:03:19]A lot of times you'll find the Appalachin pronunciation coming from the Scottish and the Irish and the Old English and some German threw in there just to confuse you.

[00:03:29]>> Is actually closer to the way it was pronounced in those days than the way what you're calling it now.

[00:03:36]>> Absolutely. And I'm proud of my southern accent. I wouldn't change a thing.

[00:03:41]>> Which that's what's great about the South. You know, you've got many different accents in the South.

[00:03:45]>> Yeah. And >> but yeah, if you call these Ros and ears as like I do and like everybody around here or everybody I know, you can come sell fort and talk to me because you're my kind of people. [laughter] >> So come on.

[00:03:57]>> Now I have to explain about that >> roasting your that your corn >> is it looked a lot better when we got it. Yeah, we kept it.

[00:04:07]>> This is just for the video.

[00:04:09]>> For the video.

[00:04:09]>> Yeah. And it didn't age well.

[00:04:11]>> Dad had his good mess of you know what he could eat. Actually very good.

[00:04:15]>> Yeah.

[00:04:16]>> Very good.

[00:04:16]>> But how many of y'all have set and peeled this >> shuck the corn?

[00:04:21]>> Yes. Uh shuck corn. S on the porch. Had good memories of shucking corn.

[00:04:27]>> How many folks played in the corn patch when they was a kid cuz you know you go in there and play hide and go seek when it was up good. You know it ti >> and come back out eat up the chiggers and have to go get their granny in my case put butter with salt in it on every little bite cuz to me a corn patch for some reason at my house had so many chiggers in them. My daddy that that brought a memory back that I had.

[00:04:52]My daddy used to uh when the garden was all cleaned off in the fall, he would always save me some of the corn stalks for a teepeece. And we he'd make three tepas for all three kids. And we all had our little teepee playhouses and we uh I thought that was that was wonderful to have. I mean, a lot of when this corn's done, people decorate with that.

[00:05:18]>> I'd love that. You can make the prettiest little dollies out of the cornstck dollies. They're so pretty. So cute. Let these dry.

[00:05:27]>> Make you cornstck doll.

[00:05:30]>> We never made them.

[00:05:31]>> There was nothing that you wasted.

[00:05:33]>> Yeah.

[00:05:34]>> When you >> No.

[00:05:35]>> When you was uh preserving or using this.

[00:05:39]>> Yeah. When you live poor and hard. My family was a wee bit poorer than yours.

[00:05:44]So, we probably used even more of this stuff. the pigs, the chickens, and then you can peel this and make stuff out of it. So, yeah, there you go for that.

[00:05:54]>> Roasted ears. [laughter] >> And so, have you got got a name for these? Do you remember? I mean, call that. Tell us in the comments your stories. What do you call this, please?

[00:06:02]>> And also, we've got some other stuff. We put this video together and my wife is going to ask you if you know what this item is. It's a item you carry things in.

[00:06:11]>> So, let's uh let's do the next thing and see if you see what you call it.

[00:06:15]>> Yes. Let's see if you know [laughter] what it's called. You may be wrong.

[00:06:19]>> So, I got something here. I'm going see if what you guys call this. Okay. You go to the grocery store and you get this. A lot of times I get this for my frozen items, especially in this kind of weather and put your ice cream in it. You had the smaller bags.

[00:06:34]They're a little bit thicker.

[00:06:36]But if you call this a bag, a sack, you would be wrong around my in my home.

[00:06:45]We call this a poke bag. [laughter] This is a poke.

[00:06:50]>> And um my dad still calls it a poke. So when dad wants something like this, I got to go find a brown bag because he wants a poke bag.

[00:07:01]And uh yeah, around here we call it a poke bag. If you call it a sack or a bag, >> poke paper. Somebody say if if you're lighting a farm, get me some poke paper to start the farm with.

[00:07:14]>> So, how many of you all still call this a poke bag? [laughter] >> Well, I know you guys even from outside of Appalachia has shared a saying with that word poke in it.

[00:07:26]>> When you get a bad deal, >> you got a pig in a poke. I know a lot of you guys, that's where it comes from.

[00:07:34]bag.

[00:07:35]>> And so if you put it in here, you're not going to see what it looks like.

[00:07:38]>> Yeah, that's right. What that refers to is if you buy a pig, you better be smart enough to pull it out of the poke and look at it before you pay for it because That's right.

[00:07:46]>> It may be a three-legged pig.

[00:07:47]>> Exactly. And the poke salad gets its name from the poke bag. Yeah.

[00:07:53]>> Because they would gather it up. See how deep this bag is and thick? It would it would hold it and preserve it and keep it from being heated in the summer. It's got the stalks on it.

[00:08:03]>> Yeah. It kind of cool. Keeps it cool.

[00:08:05]And this was a perfect.

[00:08:07]>> So that's a poke. Now I've got over Colin a poke and I'm kind of sad about that.

[00:08:11]>> Well, when we first got married, I was still, you know, um just getting away from, you know, home and things with being around it so much. I [laughter] was once a bag for my ice cream. And I asked the little guy, he was a lot younger, the buggy guy, you know, doing my groceries. I asked him. I said, "Uh, can I get a poke bag for my ice cream?"

[00:08:34]He looks at me and you're like, "What kind of bag?" I said, "A poke bag." I like, "Why ain't he getting what I'm saying?" I said, "You know, a brown bag." He said, "Oh, just a minute.

[00:08:46]They're they're right over there."

[00:08:47][laughter] So, and I was like, I've got to quit using that cuz the younger generation didn't I guess it kind of phased out.

[00:08:56]>> Well, you know, sad thing is that is part of our heritage. Yeah.

[00:09:00]>> But in school, teachers would get on to kids for talking like that. And if you're a teacher that ever did that, I want to tell you right here in this video, if you're watching it, shame on you. Because you would not be allowed to get on to any other culture in America for using his cultural language. You wouldn't do it. You wouldn't be allowed to do it. You wouldn't want to do it.

[00:09:22]But if somebody from La Appalachia uses their cultural language, >> but we know the correcting of it. We know that it's a brown bag. It's a paper bag, >> sack.

[00:09:33]>> We get that, but we just have our way of what we call things. And a lot of us still use it every day. A lot of the older people like my dad, they don't even try. Dad still, this is >> Well, that's what it is to them.

[00:09:46]>> Pope bag.

[00:09:47]>> That's [laughter] what it is to them.

[00:09:48]It's a pop. It's brown.

[00:09:49]>> And I'm so, you know, I I still hear so much from him and I'm not ashamed of it.

[00:09:57]I mean, he I'm pretty sure that everybody in their families probably call stuff that other people don't call stuff.

[00:10:05]Maybe just >> made up it, you know, and called it and named it themselves. You know, >> I have to admit that sometimes I use the traditional ways just to irritate people. If I'm around somebody I know it's going to [laughter] irritate, I'll use it because they they should be ashamed of being irritated by my language.

[00:10:24]>> Another one for you.

[00:10:25]>> Oh, yeah. This is good. Go ahead and tell them about it.

[00:10:28]>> What would you call this? You're going to the store.

[00:10:35]>> We call light bread. [laughter] >> Yeah, that's right. It's light bread.

[00:10:39]>> It's a loaf of bread, but we call it light bread. I guess because it's light, maybe.

[00:10:46]>> Yeah. compared to the baked bread >> because the bread that they made in Appalachian bread was like which I grew up and I still make it for my daddy cuz he loves it with his soup beans. It's called porn bread.

[00:10:59]>> Yeah. And that's the thing too is everybody's used to a pawn of cornbread.

[00:11:04]Yes.

[00:11:04]>> Right. And they're used to biscuits. But there is such a thing and your family and mine that shows the cultural richness of these mountains. We both call this bread something different.

[00:11:15]>> Right. And mom called it flour bread.

[00:11:17]Yeah.

[00:11:17]>> Biscuit bread.

[00:11:18]>> Yeah. You called it palm bread and my family called it biscuit bread.

[00:11:21]>> Uh you probably had it too is you take the light bread and you put the butter on it. Put your little brown sugar.

[00:11:28]>> Yeah.

[00:11:28]>> Cinnamon or whatever for like breakfast and cake that butter on there. [laughter] Chuck that butter on there. So yeah.

[00:11:36]>> But now in my house we called light bread, but we also called it because it was unusual for us to actually get a loaf of bread. We bake our own bread. A lot of times we simply call it storebought bread.

[00:11:49]>> I'm going to ask you something too.

[00:11:50]>> Did you guys ever call it storebought bread?

[00:11:52]>> I'm going to tell you my favorite piece of the bread.

[00:11:56]And you're probably going to say gross is the end pieces.

[00:12:03]>> The heel.

[00:12:04]>> And you call this >> the heel.

[00:12:06]>> Heel. Yeah.

[00:12:06]>> And then dad calls that the butt.

[00:12:09]>> And I call both the heel. [laughter] >> I said I want that piece the butt. If piece like the what? He's like the end piece there that I he calls it the butt.

[00:12:17]The end of it.

[00:12:18]>> Yeah, [laughter] they call it the butt.

[00:12:19]And >> and uh but this is this piece of bread is the >> When it's fresh, it's delicious.

[00:12:25]Especially toasted with butter, >> right? What do you guys call the beginning of the loaf of bread?

[00:12:32]>> It's the end piece. And you call it the what?

[00:12:36]>> My family always called it the heel.

[00:12:37]Both of them we called it the heel of the bread.

[00:12:40]>> But now I've heard your dad call it the butt. [laughter] But so yeah, and once again, that is how rich our culture is.

[00:12:46]You're you go up one holler and you get a whole different language than up the other holler and and I really think it should be studied and preserved instead of made fun of.

[00:12:55]>> I eat wheat. I I got this to, >> you know, that light. Well, it's actually light.

[00:12:59]>> Show it's light bread. [laughter] >> It's light. And I think that's why it's called light bread is it's lighter than the big heavy pounds of cornbread and biscuit bread.

[00:13:08]>> Yeah. I just like folding that up and just roll it up and eat it cuz I don't eat a lot of bread anyway. So, >> but you love bread.

[00:13:16]>> I love bread though.

[00:13:17]>> Yeah.

[00:13:18]>> Okay.

[00:13:20]>> What are we going to talk about?

[00:13:22]>> What do you call this?

[00:13:25]>> Well, you know what I call it. But [laughter] >> what do you call this? Let me know what you call this. Like >> this is another one. Dad around the 4th of July. He goes, >> "I get in a watermelon." He said, "Go get me a mush melon."

[00:13:42]>> Now, >> mush melon.

[00:13:44]>> Is it because it's mushy or mushy?

[00:13:46][laughter] >> First, we need to identify that. Is it a canal?

[00:13:49]>> A cantaloupe. But dad told me to get a mush. He like he likes mushmelon.

[00:13:54]>> I want to tell you something. When I grew up and we grew those in the garden and stuff, >> I didn't know what a cantaloupe was.

[00:14:01]>> It was mushmelon to my family and rhubarb was pie plant.

[00:14:06]>> Yeah.

[00:14:06]>> I was probably nine 10 years old before I >> was that's another one too.

[00:14:11]>> Yeah, they had different names.

[00:14:12]>> Oh, that is so bitter. But it's so good.

[00:14:15]I I love the rhubarb pie and the strawberry and the rhubarb pie is my favorite.

[00:14:21]>> I've made that actually.

[00:14:22]>> But the marshmallow, >> but mush melon. Mush. It is mush. Is that how he says it? Mush melon.

[00:14:29]>> That's it.

[00:14:30]>> And daddy's grown quite a few of these.

[00:14:32]>> My granny was an educated woman. She she had college there. So, and she called it mushmelon. She used all this language we had and she we use and she was interested.

[00:14:42]>> It's a watermelon called that too by >> watermelon. It's watermelon watermelon.

[00:14:46]That's what we always call watermelon.

[00:14:48]>> Okay. But this is the marshmallow, right?

[00:14:50]>> Yeah. Marshmallow.

[00:14:51]>> I asked daddy, I said, you want one of them honeydews, you know, the honeydew ones.

[00:14:56]>> Yeah.

[00:14:56]>> He's like, I don't know what that is.

[00:14:58]>> Well, now that's funny. We always called them honeydews and watermelons, but for some reason that one got tagged with mushroom. I got one of those roaneers things in my face. [laughter] >> That silk.

[00:15:10]>> Yeah.

[00:15:12]But yeah, so he's like, I don't know what that honeydew thing you're talking about is the marshmallow. You know, honey, the cantaloupes.

[00:15:21][laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:15:23]>> But yeah, I was like, oh yeah, I remember you. That's what he calls it.

[00:15:25]It's marshmallow.

[00:15:26]>> Okay. Since we grew up back here in the mountains, but we didn't hear any other name for watermelon and for honeydew melon. Any of you guys knows a country name, a hillbilly name, a southern name for honey jews and watermelon like mushmelon is for cantaloupe. Let us know if you do.

[00:15:43]>> How many of you actually thought that they wouldn't grow in your belly if you ate them? I see. Don't swallow those seeds.

[00:15:51]It's like what's it going to do?

[00:15:53][laughter] >> Well, and I see my mom had a different scare factor. She didn't tell us it would grow in in our belly. She always told us you water swallow one of them melon seeds. it's going to give you appendicitis. And she had us scared to death. That >> honey, it wasn't too awful many years ago that I realized, hey, I turned that light on. And I used it on my kids, too. Turn that light off. The cops is going to get you. They're going to pull us over and we're going to go to jail.

[00:16:23]>> Yep. In your car. Don't have your interior light.

[00:16:25]>> Have the light on. Yeah. You can't have a light on. You You'll get a ticket. Not go to jail. But you're going to get a ticket.

[00:16:31]>> Yeah. It's against the law to have interior lights and for some reason the car companies kept putting them in there. [laughter] >> Hey, when I was little, they wanted the lights on so they could got color, play games, whatever they were doing. And I'm like, uh, I got to pull that one out here. Uh, no. The cops will pull mommy over if we keep that light on. So, but I did like when I first got my license, I was driving. I thought if I turn the light on for a minute, they're going to give me they're going to pull me over.

[00:16:55]They're >> make it a little difficult to drive.

[00:16:57]>> But I cannot you know who does that? You know who goes around for lights on inside? You know who does who who can do that? I could not do that. I didn't know.

[00:17:06]>> Yeah.

[00:17:07]>> So, yeah, that's actually a good one to But yeah, I did not know that. But yeah, that's just a one that just come to me.

[00:17:14]>> Yes. But please tell I know you can tell it well cuz this is something our families had in common. We both had this told to us as children. So, please bring this up. [laughter] Now, this I'm almost ashamed to admit. I don't know where this come from, but you can't drink milk and eat fish because it'll kill >> Oh my goodness. This is so true that they really believe [laughter] this.

[00:17:38]Like my kids was eating was have we had a fish fry with some neighbors, friends from church, and my son goes, "I'd like to have some milk."

[00:17:51]Oh, no. Uh-uh. you. No, you can't drink milk while you're eating fish, which we had fish.

[00:17:58]>> Well, this was several of the people from [laughter] our church that that was that that was talking that too.

[00:18:03]Old-timers. Old-timers.

[00:18:05]>> And I went to daddy immediately. I was like, "Daddy, what happens to you when you were to drink milk when you eat your fish?

[00:18:14]It kill you." [laughter] What? It will kill me. [laughter] I said, he said, "Yeah, it'll give you bad stomach ache." I said, "Well, that ain't killing me." I was like, "Okay, I just won't do that."

[00:18:29]>> No, something it was more than a stomach [laughter] ache. Something in the milk and the fish turned to poison. I mean, dead [laughter] ant would just take you out. Bam. Like lightning struck you.

[00:18:40]There you are. You know, and your mom walk in the room like I told him not to drink the milk and eat the fish. You're [laughter] laying there >> half of a fish sandwich in your mouth and a glass empty glass of milk in your hand.

But my granny, like I said, but she was educated woman and she she do she do that little thing when when when she thought something was silly and she always tell ain't going to hurt him none. And mom though, the first time I drunk milk and eat fish in front of her.

[00:19:29]>> Mhm.
