*Meanwhile, at a Hop-In, Hop-Out in Pen City that also functions as a restaurant.....*
*A foodie from some foreign nation walks in.*
Cashier: *takes a sip of Johnson* *glances up* "What can I do for ya, miss?"
Woman: "I want to try some classic Pensyltuckian cuisine."
Cashier: "Alrighty, set yourself down at one of them tables over there. Make yourself comfortable." *puts in a dip* *turns towards the back* "Martha! You got somebody waitin' for ya!"
Martha: *walks out of the back area* "Oh!" *walks over to the table* "What can I getcha?"
Woman: "Do you guys have a menu?"
Martha: "Not any official ones, no. But we all got all the typical fixins you'd expect."
Woman: "Right now, I'm just going around the world to every country trying a little bit of everything and exploring. So I honestly don't know what to expect. I have heard that you guys have some good cuisine here in this country though."
Martha: "Oh, that's interesting. So do you just want me to wrangle up a plate fulla sumem?"
Woman: "That would be good, thanks."
Martha: "Anything to drink with that?"
Woman: "I've heard of a drink here called Buck Cola. Do you have that?"
Martha: "Of course. Will that be all?"
Woman: "Yes."
Martha: "Alrighty, I'll get right to it. It'll just be a few minutes." *walks towards the back*
*A few minutes later....*
Martha: *sets a plate with fried okra, a pulled BBQ sandwich, & a large piece of cornbread and a glass of Buck Cola down* "Enjoy!" *starts to walk away, but quickly turns around* "Wouldja like some fried crappie? It's on the house."
Woman: "Crappie?"
Martha: "Fish."
Woman: "Oh, sure."
*About 20 minutes later...*
*The plate and glass are empty.*
Martha: *walks over* "Will that be all?"
Woman: "Oh, yes."
Martha: "Alrighty, Randall'll getcha at the register." *starts clearing the table* "How'd you enjoy your meal?"
Woman: "Pretty good. Really hits the spot. Very filling. Fish was amazing. What was it called again, crappie? That barbeque beef sandwich was especially good."
Martha: "Oh, honey, that ain't beef."
Woman: "Really? It tasted like beef. What is it then?"
Martha: "That's some beaver Randall trapped the other day."
Woman: "Oh......."
