Now, cheese grits are good! But they have to be prepared right. Other than that, grits are pretty tasteless, especially hominy ones. Big, fat corn pellets soaked in lye. Yechh!
And, yes, I'm from the "deep south" originally...I'm from Louisiana. I don't think I would ever give a newcomer (and that includes my Yankee friends!) grits as a welcome device. Start them out with something they can handle better. Grits is an acquired taste. I would hate to go to Scotland and have someone expect me to eat haggis! |

Haggis is brilliant!! - just enjoy the taste and ignore the ingredients. The traditional accompaniments are mashed turnips and potato (oh and whisky )

A lot of whiskey, I should imagine, Mouse! Hehe! I dunno...maybe if I got tanked enough, I'd be brave enough to try it. Well, I eat oysters in New Orleans, so I can't see what could be worse than that!

I am delighted to have started the whole cooking discussion ! I more than half expected to get flamed by you British guys.
I also keep money from every part of the world I have been able to put my hands on since I was a child, I have given my full collection to my kid now - the last coin that had me laughing was the Australian dollar given to him by Yorick : he keeps grumbling about people thinking that there are kangaroos hopping everywhere in Australia, but guess what is on the Australian dollar ? ------------------ The world is my oyster ! And now I have the knives to open it ... |

Chacun a son gout - personally I don't go a lot on shellfish. I suppose it is all down to a trawlerman telling me when I was a kid that the biggest, juciest prawns were found near sewage outflows.......
