I was curious about the food out south. What food do you see in Jersey besides Taylor Ham, that you don't see out south?

Did anybody mention not saying Y'ALL all the time Although it's cute the first couple of times you hear it we will HATE you if you use it in every single sentence :

Be prepared for the highest property taxes in America. 8% sales tax is right around the corner. If you check out [mod]link removed, linking to competitors sites is not allowed[/mod] you will see that our tax rate is $23 per $1000 of assessed value. $13 is the national average.

I think that depends more on the individual regardless of wherever you are. I like the "y'all". I know some southerners will try to correct their usage of "you all", but I understand that it's kind of hard to break the habit. My professor, from Florida, kept trying to correct himself from using it. I really don't mind it at all.

Millstone, NJ is definitely a great area for horse lovers. Nice homes, lots of stables and large lots for regular houses.
