As my girlfriend and I wait for her mom to finish making dinner...
- Me: So what are we eating tonight? "Papa John's"? "Hoppin' Poppins"?
- GF: "Hoppin' Johns". It's a New Year's Day tradition.
- Me: Oh yeah? Where is it a tradition?
- GF: In the south. It's a slave dish. I usually make a vegetarian version, though.
- Me: Well yeah, slaves are expensive.
