Now may I ask who is "you".
I myself do not like be grouped in to a bunch of non eaters than turn my nose up at grits. Just so you,magicman,knows,I have tried Sauerkraut,corned beef and grits. Non of them are on my plate now. Yes, I have a lifetime supply in the pantry of grits,but that was given to me as a token of friendship. :D
smiley_thumbsup smiley_thumbsup
at least your not talking about me cause I don't eat anchovies or that nasty corned beef stuff steve_smiley steve_smiley steve_smiley steve_smiley steve_smiley steve_smiley steve_smiley
Now everyone hates corned beef too?
:D :D :D Nothing like a good Reuben sandwich but the meat has to be fresh. Don't give me that ersatz canned imitation.
I was in Mississippi for a week and never saw one of those grits of which you speak. I did eat anything placed within reach though..
Corned Beef is one of my favorite things to eat. :)
Actually, of everything Magicman listed, I'd rather have grits.
jeff all this time I though you where the only sane one here :D
Reminds me of a picnic lunch we had on our road trip.
We stopped for lunch at the Tasman Glacier carpark, which is end of the road up in the Aoraki National Park, but a popular place. Anyway they have this massive timber picnic table there, sits about 20 people easily, so we were sharing it with several other groups.
Anyway sitting opposite us was this family from Europe. Not sure where as they didn't seem to have much English, maybe Italian? Anyway they had bread rolls, pesto, olives etc. Over on our side we a making sandwiches with Marmite and chicken flavor potato crisps. A tasty and crunchy snack ;D The tourists didn't know what to make of this :D
Not sure if they were going to go and buy some Marmite, and try it. Or if it confirmed to them that the locals were nuts. ::) :D
I'm surprised that we don't have more marmite and vegemite debates.
Maybe even kick in some Moxie! :o
Moxie may be a Maine soda,but just beacuse it's made here don't mean I have to like it and tell everyone else how good it is. :) ::)

I second that! With the exception of dollar store canned corn beef from Brazil (its more of a survival food, eat if that's all there is left).

But if you liked it, you would. :D :D
Got a couple Moxie Drinks this summer for me and a friend. I didn't finish mine. As it says on the label "Distinctively Different".
Tastes like 90 percent Root Beer infused with an old shop rag that was soaking in a Roof Pitch pail.
It'll keep your sugar intake down.

I was working up in WI well north of my blood viscosity rating when the sparkies showed up with school fundraiser cheese. We were passing around samples and for the first time I tried Limberger. It was being roundly praised as smelling of old gym socks. I had to sneak by a few minutes later. "I'm going for a coke, but not cause I have to".... I had to! A Moxie couldn't have hurt a thing about then :D
This is the picnic table I mentioned.

Good sturdy cypress 12 x 4 (?). Not going to be worried about some winter snow or summer sun, or Marmite. :D

thats probably because some of us have no idea what marmite or vegemite are ??? :D :D :D
Just do what I make my kids do - try the food once, if you dont like it, thats ok. But never turn your nose up saying I could never eat that.
My sentiments exactly.
One thing I've learned, is that as I get older my tastes change. I now eat Brussel sprouts. I tried pickled beets again but I still hate those.
We like Brussel sprouts also. I cut them in half, sprinkle salt, Olive oil and some Mexican Cheese shred on them, wrap them in tin foil and cook them on the grill off to the side. Good Stuff.
Beets are interesting. I always told my mother I'd just as soon eat dirt as a beet. There was a piece on the radio one morning talking about it. They said some people taste dirt when they eat a beet and some taste the beet. Every few years I give them a try again but so far still dirt. We sure do change through time though. I've always liked onions, then all of a sudden after some serious gut problems I couldn't eat them, not even a little bit. A few months ago I tried them again by accident, I was on the road and stopped for lunch. When I realized it had onions I thought "this isn't going to go well" but it was fine. Whatever it was that caused that 5 or 6 year hiccup, I've changed again.
Brussel sprouts... I'm building a trebuchet :D
I watched someone nibble on a wild garlic shoot last week. :)
Yea, and he chewed toothache tree bark too, just for fun. Back to the words of Mama.
"YOU WILL EAT IT,
AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!"
:D :D been down that road before
I posted what I have tried. BUT what gets me is the ones that like something and than try to tell me how good it is. ::) Might be good to them,but not to me. There might be somethings that I would have a hard time trying.
We are having roasted Brussel sprouts for dinner, just butter and pepper on mine. I am willing to try just about anything, have found some things like sea urchin that looked and sounded gross but were actually quite good. Raw oysters went down but I much prefer them breaded or smoked. Just don't try to sneak bell peppers past my lips.
I eat my pickled beets with smoked pickled herring. Great combination. sketti_1
I like pickled herring too but can't get it into the house. :D Karen being of Finnish/Norwegian descent was fed it as a kid, she goes green at the sight.
And to think that poor grits take such a bashing. It is just plain out discrimination.

Funny you mentioned Brussel Sprouts. When I was a kid, they used it to make burgers with or serve it like spinach. Can't imagine the taste and smell.
I tried to grill sprouts few years back, lets say 40 years later and I love them. I even look up new recipes - like bacon wrapped brussel sprouts (poor man scallops :))

I second that! With a big pile of grits that would make a fittin meal (old saying) 8) 8)
They do look good.
Bacon will make anything taste good. (old saying)
I like rutabaga. They are also are known as swedes. One of the main ingredients of pasties.
We had them roasted along with spuds, carrots, onions, and garlic the other night. That was a fine meal with a slab of beef. 8).
