When I lived in Michigan we learned a little doctored Canadian history, but we had a student teacher who was Native who taught us a lot, so I think as far as school goes, I learned more than the school system would've preferred, heh. Once I moved to Kentucky, though, Canada was rarely mentioned.
Oh god, Ama, the spoonbread, it burns! AHHHHHHH!
Undercooked eggy cornbread, anyone? I didn't think so.
I did not know that about the Cherry Festival, Ama. I don't know if this counts as a "harvest" festival, but Yale, MI has a Bologna Festival, do you think they have a Bologna Queen?
Michigan? Cherry festival? I've totally been there! Traverse City right? I bought a beautiful t-shift from there and various other things. I was sad because I can't wear the shirt anymore from baby weight.
KFC started being named kentucky fried chicken. however since it was a trade mark, the state of kentucky sued because that meant they couldnt advertise as kentucky fried chicken. thus they shortened it to KFC.
Kentucky Fried Chicken decided to change its name to KFC in 1991 for several reasons, none of which had anything to do with governmental regulations about mutant animals:
* A move to de-emphasize "chicken" because KFC planned to offer a varied menu that included other types of food. (The Boston Chicken corporation took the same approach for the same reason, changing their name of its retail food outlets to Boston Market.)
* A desire to eliminate the word "fried," which has negative connotations to the increasingly health-conscious consumer market.
* A recent trend towards the abbreviation of long commercial titles, as demonstrated by other companies' employing shortened forms of their names, such as The International House of Pancakes (IHOP) and Howard Johnson's (HoJo).

Really? I had heard they changed it because of the word fried during the health food craze of the 90s.
