“LOL!! You people (chiefly Violin and HPM) are insane!”

“Just call me chemical Man, SuperTroll! ;-)”

“Shall I drive Chili insane?? Shall I tell all again how I like to eat my grits?


Okay I will!


Grits, butter, sugar and cinnamon; it's great that way!!!”

“Poor confused Tango. :-(
You don't put SUGAR in grits.
;-)”

“That's oatmeal Tango.

This thread is about grits.”

“Hey some people put sugar on grits......hell, some people put sugar on dang near everythang.

LOL
I sometimes add some precooked bacon slices, and Instant Grits make too much sense for backpacking.”

“I prefer a bit of butter(never oleo!!) on my pile of grits and then a couple of eggs over easy on top of that.

And I always eat the slow-cookin' kind!!

Well see now you're just makin' too much sense, Stompie!

Like fine wine, ya just can't hurry grits!

“Instant grits blow.


I cook them with salt in the water, put a glob of butter on top and eat each forkfull with 1/8 patty of Parks Hot n' Sagey sausage.”

“1/8 of a patty with each bite, huh? But wait, you didn't specify how many grits exactly are in each bite!
;-D”

“Enough so I have exactly 16 bites of course.”

“Two words: Nut Case”

“Chopped nuts are not proper on grits either.........wheat or oat cereal, OK.”

“I tried chocolate flavored instant grits once....


BLECH!


It was the one and only time I have ever tried grits. They suck.”

“Don't you mean chocolate flavored instant grits suck, since those are the only one's you have tried? ;-)

BLECH! too.....”

“In that case, then I would argue that you never actually tried grits.”

“if you think grits suck, you oughta try chittlin's ......ouchy.........”

“See chittlin's being 'harvested' and you will never eat them. LOL

I don't eat chittlin's.”

“OK, this thread has gone into the sewer!!

I see no need to ever eat a hog's sewer pipes, slung or scraped, no way!!”

“I have family in South Carolina that used to live near a town that has an annual chitlin festival.

They made it a point to be out of the county during that time. They said it was because of the smell.

They finally decided to move.”

“now, watchin two Nigerian's butcher a goat from the farm to the bag was interesting enough (bought it off my wife's uncle, alive), I mean those two guys (one was a seminary student and friend) cut up everything, even cracked the skull in two to divide everything equally. They left nothing but the hide and hoofs, all else was taken to eat. My son, four at the time, thought that was the neatest thing he had ever seen.....”

“I got my nose close to chittlins once........once.”

“Stove Man is strangely silent on the matter of.................chittlins!!!

I wonder if he like slow-cooked or instant.”

“Id rather eat pollenta then try grits again...in fact, I would rather stick both hands in a vat of boiling oil before trying grits again.


I happen to like chittlins”

“You like chitlins?
Well damn girl that explains it completely.

You are insane. ;)”

“I'll second that!!”

“hmmmm, a mystery woman.......SC, do you eat em with vinegar?”

“barking mad.”

“Cheese, eggs (poached or over easy), butter, bacon bits, and grits ... Mmmmmmmmmmmm.”

“Don't forget the scrapple, Geo.”

“I really don't understand why y'all keep insisting that grits are a southern dish.

Grits were first discovered growing wild in Pennsylvania. Selective breeding was done at Cornell University and by the early 19th century, grits orchards were a common sight from Connecticut to Illinois.

grits growning wild???...aren't grits made from corn?”

“yeah, that does sound kinda flaky, don't it?”

“thriftyhiker, thriftyhiker, thriftyhiker.....

You believe violin's posts? LOL”

“this is a cool site

http://www.grits.com”

“I got bit by a rattlesnake in Georgia on my ill fated '05 thru hike. Bitpusher had smuggled some grits into my pack and I made a poultice from them. It sucked the venom right out of my leg. Grits saved my life. I've also heard they are good for helping to shrink inflammed hemorrhoids. Can't imagine anyone using them as a food source.”

“..well, not after the hemorrhoid trick anyway...”

“or the venom either
LOL”

“Kinda makes a person wonder what nimblefoot does with tapioca pudding ...”

“he rubs it on his private parts to attract mama bears...............”

“Grits are ground corn?

Sure... sure...

“chittlins = pig intestines....ewwwwwww...and they have to squeeze them to make sure all the worms are out of them.....”

“Lewis Grizzard, a Great American.

“mmmmmm tapioca :)”

“See, I caught me one.”

“div, you should try haggis sometime...mmmmmmm!”

“Hey Stovy, grits + american or Cheddar + sprinkled w/sugar. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm”

“I like grits and polenta (not that there is much of a difference!). And I live in the PNW ;-)
Heck, I even have grit recipes on my website - using, er, the instant ones.”
