Biscuits and kittens in Vt.

Main Street in Bristol, Vt., at the western edge of the Green Mountains

“Even my children, though born here, would not be called Vermonters by most members of long-time Bristol {Vt.} families. (My neighbors might well respond, if I put the question to them, with the old Vermont joke: If the cat has kittens in the oven, does that make them biscuits?)’’
