Love this, I’m from Arkansas & my bunch all pronounced Italian the same way.

I grew up & married one of those Eye tal yuans from Italy. They still call him the Eye tal yuan.

Carolyn,

I’ve heard everyone of your sayings except the one about working in a pie factory a tastin’. I love that!!!

I remember my mawmaw telling me ghost stories, but she called them “haints’. If something was worthless, she said “it ain’t no count”, and if someone was lazy, she would say “they’re so lazy, they wouldn’t work at a pie factory a tastin'”. I can think of a thousand more, and maybe I’ll write them all down someday for my kids to read!

I find that lots of dressings work so well with chicken and have been using pork chops in place of chicken and again turns out so nice.

In reply to Jean.

Jean,

I am so proud of my Southern heritage! Love a Southern accent, too. I used to be pretty good at identifying regional Southern accents. People move around so much now and the accents have become blended. They aren’t as distinguishable as they used to be.

Jean, you would have loved Granny and Grandadaddy. Everybody did. I miss them everyday.

I would have loved to meet your grandparents. Salt of the earth type people. People from all over the south pronounce things differently even tho with the southern drawl. D-troit…is one that sticks in my head. We dont realize just how much differently we speak until someone points it out. I love being southern!

In reply to ella liddle. It's really tasty, Ella! Hope you give it a try. We have so many thunderstorms this time of the year that outdoor cooking isn't always a possibility.

I use the zesty Italian dressing to marinate all my chicken and also London broil. Yum! I usually grill my chicken but will have to try baking. Your’s looks delicious. Thanks.

I know exactly what your saying Jackie. I miss hearing their dear voices. Especially when I “layed out” all I heard was I was frying like a fish and put on some clothes. I was behind a six foot wood fence.LOL.

Bingo! I’m fixing this eye-tal-yuhn chicken tomorrow. Sometimes I have to stop and think before I say Italian cuz I’m so used to hearing my Mom say eye-tal-yuhn! She’s visiting us right now and this is a good story and dinner! Thanks Jackie. I hope you and your clan is good!!!

In reply to Mary Back.

Mary,
We are a kindred spirit, for sure! How I love to listen to those familiar words and accents. My grandparents said, “Hiwarhya”, too! 🙂

In reply to jana. I've used balsamic vinaigrette for marinades, too, Jana. It's great! I especially like it for a vegetable marinade. :)

In reply to Maureen. So much of that down home language seems to be going by the wayside, Maureen. That makes me sad.

I know how you feel. With my sister visiting me in Australia this week, we’ve reminisced about old Maine phrases like, “in the dooryard” or “cook it in the spider” (pronounced spidah) and many others.

I’ve often cooked your Eye tah yuln recipe and it’s quick, easy and always loved by everyone.
