I've had great pork sausage with blueberries mixed in but i'm not sure how I feel about them mixed in with a beef patty

You guys in here acting like sweet and savory aren’t a great combination.

Yeah that sounds like the right context. She always just repeated it without knowing what it meant, but she knew when to say it 😆

Now, I'm no culinary expert or anything, but that sounds like the most disgusting crap on the planet.

I think that one’s pretty universal in the US, this one seemed more localized to ME. Also she is pretty adamant on the pronunciation.
The context doesn’t fit either; oy vey is frustration or dismay like you say, this phrase was used when someone had misbehaved

Could they have been saying “oy vey” I know that’s a common saying where I’m at (VT) to express dismay/ frustration

My comment was half tongue-in-cheek but, there is not much of a difference if any. I suspect Hannaford's red dogs are Jordan's.

Yup. I have only heard it here in Maine and not since I was little (32 here)
I suppose it could have French/ Canadian origins, but they were never acknowledged, not that I was aware of anyway.

Thanks for responding. So it sounds like it might just be kid stuff rather than anything deeper
She moved a lot around the country and noticed that they didn’t say that anywhere else.

I always assumed it was a French expression, because I heard it in my heavily francophone area. In my mind it’s like “oh go” or “go on.” Edit: in my mind it’s written “a va”
