What is it with you people who eat grits? I had to eat that until I was old enough to move away from home. Nothing but ham, chilies, eggs and potatoes for me the last 50 years. I know it is traditional, but do you really like it?

My wife likes grits. I don't go near them. Potatoes all the way.

I didn't grow up with grits, but do fix them occasionally. Don't know that I would like them if I had to eat them. It was peas for me. I still dislike them. Bacon now, or ham, that's another story!

Don't know about now, but about 35 years ago, when working patrol on the day shift, I used to take an occasional coffee break in the back of a "Honey Baked Ham" store. Christmas time they had a lot of cash on hand and this one was just a block and half away from a freeway on-ramp.
They got the hams shipped in ready to go, but sans glazing. The glazing was applied by 2 or 3 workers (each working on a ham) using brushes and propane torches. Brush on glazing sweep the torch across it, brush on glazing sweep the torch across it. Took 10 to 15 minutes per ham.

It wasn't that long ago, we had Winnie the Pooh DVDs, posters, chairs, stuffed animals all over the house.

I did grow up eating grits. Mom was a Southern girl.
I fix grits occasionally. Grits are a bit like tofu in that they have little flavor on their own. You have to infuse them with the flavor of something else. I usually will fry shrimp in a Cajun sauce of sorts and pour that sauce shrimp over the grits. My mother-in-law and I are the only ones in the family that like grits.

This morning's breakfast was a family favorite; fried eggs on top of a pile of corned beef hash.

I never ate a whole lot of grits at home, but Mom made them, usually when we were camping and
I like them. I do eat them sometimes, mostly in restaurants, but again, only occasionally.

I still remember vividly the 2nd day at college, eating at the cafeteria at the girls dorm with my
girlfriend (now my wife). We both had to stifle a laugh at the loud, nasal, Edith Bunker NYC accented
girl saying "Joyce, why do they have mashed potatoes for breakfast?" Lots of nice Jewish girls from
Miami going to UF widening their horizons, meeting rednecks and Florida crackers and all sort of folks
they never ran into in Brooklyn or Miami. :eek:
