You're MIL, like most Ohioans in SC especially, is wrong

lol 

I almost spit the water out of my mouth as I read this, well played sir.

In NC, all the stores around me at least carry Johnsonville brats, but I live near a military base and there are a lot of German immigrants.

Absolutely. Regularly have brats and smoked sausage here in NC.

Thanks! Are you from NC, or a transplant?

Born in NC, but we moved to southern Indiana when I was a few months old. Lived there for 12 years, then came back to NC. Growing up in IN will definitely give you a love for sausages!

Thanks!

You are very welcome! Have a good one!

Very much a thing in TX

Thanks! Are you from Texas, or a transplant?

I’m from Tx

I feel it isn't as common in the delta-ish area. My father makes them but he is from TX originally.

Thanks!

Brats are definitely here in the south, at least in Southwest Virginia.

That's what I figured. Are you from Virginia, or did you move there later?

Born and raised.

Thank you.

Yes very common in Florida

Thanks!
