Come on over for dinner, we’ll knock a tater in the head or something! This lovely form of a dinner invite came to us from Vera, a listener in British Columbia who heard it while living in Arkansas. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Knock a Tater in the Head”
We heard from Vera Algoet, who lives in Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, and she shared a phrase that I am going to adopt myself that she learned when she was living in Arkansas.
When people decided to invite her over to supper, they’d say, “We’ll knock a tater in the head or something. Come on over. We’ll knock a tater in the head or something.”
Isn’t that a great way to describe making dinner?
Yeah, that’s kind of a reduced form of killing the fatted calf.
And vegetarian. I love it.
