I worked some in Appalachia, teaching coal miners' kids. 

 

"Don't go down that holler," I was told more than once and they weren't kidding.

Tall enough that my feet still reach the ground! German and English from what I've been told.

Must explain my love of beer

German and English mostly....believe there's a little touch of Native on my dads side. I'm 6'3"1\2.

[Bankbeater]

5'9".  My dad's family is English and Scottish.  My mom's family is German, and Native American.

[LonnieP]

5’11 English/Scottish and some Cherokee thrown in the mix

I'm 6'4 my son 6'7.  My sister is 6'2, her daughter 6'5.  Our parents refused to discuss our heritage.  We suspect that is due to a history of alien abduction.  Oh, and German.

6”2’ here. I have really long arms. Like a 10 foot wingspan.

 

Mostly Swedish heritage. Lutefisk is a native dish and it’s disgusting.

About a month ago a guy I work with gets a call from his dad...he gets off the phone and says oh cool my dad got me a ticket to a Lutefisk feed. I said Oh so your dad hates you?

100% agreement here - just point me at the Potato Sausage; and don't forget the Lefsa with butter and cinnamon sugar on the side.

I’m Irish and I hate cabbage and I can’t say I’ve ever had corned beef. I was told I’m a disgrace today. 😂

Not a big fan of the cabbage aka sauerkraut. It’s kinda stinky too.

 

Corned beef is good stuff though.

Irish cooked cabbage is NOT sauerkraut...that's a German dish. I've had corned beef w/cabbage....not something I'd want every day, but not bad.
