Yeah I don't think people knew what comfort was back then. It's not even cushioned, just has leather riveted onto wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look at my great grandmothers mom on her wedding day. Isn't that the face of someone just in full comfort and not wishing they weren't wearing 8 layers in the summer and standing still for a tintype that is probably going to steal their soul. Great great grandfather though dapper as fuck bully for him good sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to guess from the look on her face, I'd say she was summoning her inner "Karen" because some kids in the direction of her icy gaze are acting up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most Irish farmers in the late 1800s she was probably thinking about spuds and beating children, so you're probably right. Back on the topic of odd state food. Cherokee red cherry soda. It's around here at like every kind of family function. Though I've never seen it anywhere else. It's probably the most cherry flavored soda I've ever had. It's not like a knock off soda though like Dr thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaos Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 West Virginia isn't known for weird foods, but they combine plenty of weird shit. Like....creamy tomatoes or milk with cornbread. Like, really, you dunk the cornbread in a glass of milk or spread tomatoes all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Oh and I don't feel like we're known for Italian Beef but there are a lot more places in the states that don't have it than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
