Do you enjoy grits?

We Canadians have a rule in hunt camp. "Whoever complains about the food is automatically voluntold to be tomorrow's cook." Sure cuts down on complaining.

Herodotus tells us of the thief who was condemned to death who told the king that he would treach the Kings horse to sing hymns if he could be spared.
The king gave him a year to do it. So every day the thief sang hymns to the horse. The Kings groom asked the thief why he was doing this, when the king saw the horse didn't sing he would make the thiefs death slow and painful.
The thief replied that a lot could happen in a year, the king could die, the horse could die, the thief could die.
And just maybe the horse would learn to sing.
So I do hope the DY might learn.

I suppose that that could be the case, as well.

Fwiw, I've NEVER seen a group of men anyplace who could put away more eggs, bacon, sausage, pork chops, biscuits, gravy, etc. as Company A's Canadians could/DID pack-away every morning in camp.
(When "Duckie" learned that our group from Quebec City liked beef hash, she smoothly added that to the AM menu.)

Fwiw, cooking for an INF company (with all the "invited guests" of the troops) is a full-time job for the chief cook & helpers.
Nonetheless, we ate GOOD.

Pat McMannis runs with this also. I've been friends with Rancid Craptree and Receech Sweeny.

I keep getting "This video is unavailable". when I use the link? Just google "Moose Turd Pie", and you'll get it.

I spent a bit of time with "Utah" back in the late '60s and early '70s, when I was doing folk festivals. He sure could write songs, and tell stories.

I've just been going over some of the videos of him on youtube. He was a character, the real thing.

OK, so the poll is over and between two thirds and three quarters of people who responded here like grits.


30% of Americans also believe...
That 9/11 didn’t happen in 2001.
That they aren’t the product of evolution.
That the time has come for armed revolution.
That you can get your news from Facebook.
That the Pacific Ocean does not appear on a world map.
That another war in Iraq is a good idea.

About 90 million Americans believe aliens exist.

Some 66 million think aliens landed at Roswell, N.M., in 1948.

51 percent of voters say a larger conspiracy was at work in the JFK assassination, just 25 percent say Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone

41 per cent of Americans believe China is the world's leading economic power (the correct answer is the United States).

73 per cent of Americans could not identify communism as America's main concern during the Cold War.

71 per cent of Americans believe Iran already has nuclear weapons.

Half of Americans believe that Judaism did not come before Christianity.

37% of Americans live in fear of haunted houses.

1 in 4 Americans believe we won our independence from a country OTHER than Great Britain. Many people said France. Others said China. China!

41% believe in extrasensory perception.


Now y'all enjoy that animal feed!

Grits are good. They're coarsely-ground corn with the husks removed (I think.) Hominy grits are made from hominy and is what they use for "instant grits."

Cooking grits takes me about 20 minutes. If you want fluffier grits, add half water and half milk.

Red-eye gravy is good but with hams being as lean as they are now, it's hard to make. Recipe already given, and it's especially good with grits.

I could go on and on about grits until I sound like Bubba on Forest Gump, but I won't.

Sounds like that the same 30% of Americans don't believe that 9-11 occurred as don't like grits.

Are you saying that those who don't like grits are as CLUELESS as the other group of 9-11 disbelievers??
