Kind of a way out...

[HiTech]

Going to the store today, I will see if I can find Grits. I will look for the kind you have to cook and stay away from the instant. Who knows I might even like them. lol

I tried grits once but sand sill works better.

You boys stay out in the sun too long or the cooler weather must really affect youall.... them  grits  are not on any food group I know of. None .  ;D :D

[thecfarm]

Bread,meat and cheese is my group!!!!

"I've even had a hot souse sandwich (with mayo and sliced, sweet pickles). 

whassat???  translate, please

If'n I'd said 'head cheese', would you understand?  Maybe not quite the same thing, but it's in the family. ;D

[warren46]

Yes I understand "head cheese."  You take a head from one or more butchered pigs and remove the brains.  The head is then boiled until the flesh can be removed and separated from the skin.  The resulting meat and gel is then mixed with spices, formed into a loaf and chilled.

yumm!!

Y'all lost me at brains...I used to get fed squirrel brains and scrambled eggs as a kid...until I found out it wasn't ham! !

I used to help cut timber for some Amish that were breaking draft horses for me...I used to stay up there with them on the weekends. I can say that I have eaten some things that I never thought I would or could! Coffe soup and blood pudding...OMG...it is hard to not eat it when a cute Amish girl has just slaved over the kitchen in order to fix me a meal.

My Mother...South Carolina native, used to serve up some mean scrapple...but I ain't eating it ever again...no thanks...no way

A mind is a terrible thing to taste.

A small town near me has a chitlin festival every year.  This is where I draw the line.   Chitlin recipe:  place chitlins in pot of water and cook the crap out of them.  Just the literal aspect of that statement is enough for me to pass.

[Maine logger88]

They boil the chit out of them huh lol!

I love grits. I put butter, salt and pepper on them. Every once in a while, I'll get a wild hair and venture about an hour or so to this little truck stop right across the PA/MD border to go eat. Granted I did it a whole lot more when I was single, the old lady doesn't approve when I want to drive an hour or so, one way, to go eat at a truck stop. But I always get country fried steak, mashed potatoes, eggs and grits, all in the vicinity of 12$. Can't beat it. Other than Crackerbarrel, not many places serve grits here and it really chafes me...

Been to 3 stores up here and all I could find was Instant Grits. You say they are nasty so I didn't buy them. One store told me they would have the kind you have to cook, they just ran out. Guess my Grit sampling will have to wait. lol
