9. Have never liked grits
Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 12:33 AM by Whoa_Nelly
At school, the cafeteria ladies would cook'em up about once a week, with salt, served with a pat of butter o melting on top x(


However, I did learn I could tolerate them if there were no salt and lots of yummy Mrs. Butterworth's poured like gravy all over'em :9

13. These grits posts are making me hungry for grits.
I have some instant butter-flavored ones in my desk. Guess I'll go fix some, add some more butter, salt and pepper and BacOs.

22. Grits are what we feed to
yankees to make them think that's all we eat so they'll go home.

23. Either butter with black pepper or syrup - salt just doesn't work for me.
Of course, I don't salt melons either - fresh cracked black pepper for me.

31. I was raised in the south and find many southern "delicacies" such as...
boiled peanuts, turnip greens, and collards to be absolutely revolting, but I will defend grits against any and all slurs :)
