Forget where’s the beef….

.

.

This map clearly asks where’s the cacio e pepe?

.

.

Way to go New Hampshire.

.

.

I’ve been to northwestern Maine and can vouch for this.

.

.

We bypassed Paris on my one and only trip to France and did Provence and the Côte d’Azur instead. Never regretted it.

.

.

My husband and I paid $6 for the license and tipped the Justice of the Peace $30.

41 years later… believe me when I tell you it’s not about what you spend.

.

.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

.

.

To be honest we never used to. Most Mainers didn’t. But now, we do… and that’s sad.

.

.

Ever wonder what your state is talking about?

.

.

Mine must be Stephen King inspired.

.

.

Can’t say that’s much of a surprise.

.

.

Well done Australia.

👍

.

.

When I first saw this I thought little green men,, but it was from Fox News, so that might be the wrong type of alien.

.

.

Why, oh why… would anyone need a flamethrower?

.

.

Good to know.

I think.

.

.

You’re welcome.

.

.

I have to say this first one surprised me.

.

.

Where’s the beef?

.

.

Striking isn’t it?

.

.

Why are northern men taller than southerners?

Do grits stunt your growth?

This next one is for a particular blog friend who is moving to Wisconsin…

.

.

You’re welcome.

.

.

I lived in North Carolina for 17 years and passed cotton fields every day. Had no idea Texas was cotton country though.

.

.

A very sad map indeed.

😰

.

.

Let’s explore…

.

.

I’m surprised Maine is on the higher side of this. Must be the northern half…

.

.

That’s beyond disturbing.

.

.

This is even more so.

😳

.

.

People do love to live near the water.

.

.

I’m surprised more states in my area aren’t green. New Englanders are traditionally frugal.

.

.

I blame Maine’s rate on the lobster. Who wants to eat it without a pound of melted butter…

😉

.

.

I call foul on this first one.

.

.

Maine has exactly one Trader Joes.

One.

Yes, it’s in our biggest city, but still.

.

.

No in Maine. Which is fine with me.

.

.

Maine to Man is not very amusing.

.

.

It’s true.

Mainers do hate Massholes.

.

.

Since we only buy craft beer, and never by the case I’m unable to comment.

.

.

Please note I live in the county above the red in Maine and am not personally responsible for its high numbers.

Mark… can you say the same?

😉

.

.

These crazy maps make you happy, admit it.

.

.

For those of you unfamiliar with Maine’s, let me explain.

“Lobster tomalley, often referred to as the “green stuff” inside a lobster, is the hepatopancreas, a digestive gland that functions as both the liver and pancreas. It is a delicacy for some, valued for its rich, intense flavor similar to lobster meat but more intense. However, it’s also been a subject of safety concerns due to potential environmental contaminants.”

.

The green stuff is a highly debated topic in my state. Some people hate it (me!) and others love it.

.

.

Everything toxic a lobster encounters in the sea lands there. Not my idea of a culinary treat.

🤢

.

.

Booger Hole, West Virginia?

Say it isn’t so…

.

.

Another reason I’m glad my part of Maine is blue.

😉

.

.

Wow, Maine’s Bangor seems relatively tame.

.

.

What up Wisconsin?

🤣

.

.

So many unhappy states.

.

.

Weird law?

Leave it to Vermont…
