Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When a Southern Belle talks about her "roots", she is referring to what?

Answer: Where she comes from and who she is

In the vocabulary of the Southern Belle, this translates into who her family is and where they come from originally; for example, "My mother was a Girardeau from Berkeley County, South Carolina."

2. According to "The Southern Belle Primer", why do Southern Girls so often have double first names; for example, Edna Anne?

Answer: As an honor to both grandmothers

A Southern Belle's name helps to establish her roots, and of course, a well-bred Southern Belle would have not one but two respected grandmothers!

3. Which one of the following is not one of a Southern Belle's "Ten Golden Rules"?

Answer: Bridesmaids should always wear white shoes

Bridesmaid's shoes should always match the punch and never be white.

4. Southern Girls always put dark meat in their chicken salad.

Answer: False

A Southern Belle would never use dark meat in chicken salad! Chicken salad is only properly made with white meat.

5. What food staple would a Southern Belle never allow in her house?

Answer: Miracle Whip

Southern Belles only use real mayonnaise-preferably homemade!

6. When is a finger bowl properly served?

Answer: Just before dessert

Finger bowls are served on a doily and filled with warm water. It is also permissable to add rose petals or lemon peel to the water.

7. If a Southern Belle refers to someone as "nice", what social connotation does this have?

Answer: She'll never make it in the Junior League

This is one of those "politin' them to death" things for which Southerners are famous. If she were called "lovely" she'd have her in tow for the Cotillion!

8. Which of the following is not one of the approved 12 patterns of the "Southern Silver Zodiac"?

Answer: Grand Duchess

Girls also must check on what pattern their fiancee's mother has-some patterns are simply not compatible and if his mother's silver is not compatible with yours-run!

9. The St. Cecelia Ball in Charleston, South Carolina, is one one of the oldest and most exclusive debutante events. How does one obtain membership in this event?

Answer: Passed from father to son

The only way a woman can attend is if she is the wife or daughter of a member.

10. A Vicksburg Tomato Sandwich is always made with wheat bread.

Answer: False

First, take a round cookie cutter and cut out a circle of fresh white bread. It is then topped with mayonnaise and well drained tomatos and served at cocktail parties.
