I've eaten grits before. It's not a major food in Texas, which is good, since I didn't like grits. It tastes like lumpy wet sand.

It's not major in Texas, Kori's told me, but it's apparently the only hot cereal he eats. He enjoyed my Red River when he tried it--but I eat it with maple syrup and he wanted brown sugar, so he refused to try it again because it wasn't sweet enough. (he was sampling out of my bowl)

The thing that weirded me out the most about the grits wasn't the grits themselves but the packaging. They had a recipe on them for "quick cheese grits."

That included "processed cheese spread, cut into cubes." I was shocked to discover that you can buy a BLOCK OF CHEEZ WHIZ! EWWWWW. I thought it was a misprint at first.

Here in Philly people eat scrapple.... It's friggin nasty! It's like ground up pig insides or something, looks like barf.

To quote a line from My Cousin Vinnie: "No self respectin' Southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits."

Whats with boost? Can anyone explain what it is? Some sort of syrupy cola drink... my son keeps asking for it and I keep saying NO.

Kori um... doesn't exactly have stellar cooking skills. Heh... He can um... Grill things? And he can peel and cut up vegetables, if you watch him carefully and make sure he knows exactly what size you want. But really, you're better off peeling and cutting up your own fruits and veggies. Peeling and cutting up 6 cups of apples for a pie took him around three hours--I had finished two lemon meringue and had the pastry rolled for the apple in that time--and I was moving slowly!

Is that where grits come from?

Kori tried to convince me to try some (he brought up a bunch for my Rover Advisor who used to live in the South) while he was up, but the little flakes and bits before it's cooked remind me of baby cereal, and that stuff's just GROSS. >.<

So did grits come from the corn surplus too? Cause they sure don't look like something a sane person would cook up. >.<

Grits are GREAT, especially with either brown sugar or butter. I used to have that when I was in university in the south. I can only find the instant stuff out here now.

I don't do either

Boost? That's the meal supplement drink thing.

No... its this weird stuff... like syrupy and you drink it, its like coke I guess? I don't really know what it is.

But a lot of people around here drink it.

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

It's about flipping time!!!

I don't drink pop usually but there is the rare occasion where I crave a coke.

YAY!!!!

[trailmix 77]

Woot!

Mike stopped at the BP gas station on his way home, he said he noticed something called Pepsi Throwback - so he checked out the ingredients and saw it had no HFCS or aspartame - so thought it must be good!

He is bringing 4 bottles home

Oh and the bottle doesn't look anything like the bottle above, I can't find a picture of it, but it kind of looks like this - dark label and blue lettering (just in case someone is looking for it).
