IrishLass......Yes, we have Helova food Dip here in Northern Virginia.....
I will mention that I lived my early life with my grandmother in the deep woods of West Virginia. The people there, at that time, were direct descendants from the first settlers of the area. Mostly Scott/Irish and some German......
My ex-husband was from Northern Ireland (Belfast).......
I was pleasantly surprised that there were words that my grandmother and husband both used in common...that I had never heard from anyone else.
Like:
pretties.....meaning toys
smalls......underwear
shirtwaist......a lady's slip worn under a dress
peckish.......hungry
