I've been to a number of places in Florida, Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, etc. I always felt like I was in a sack of Yankees. My apologies to you, lonehunter, if you eat grits, you ain't all bad even if you do live in "South New York". :haha:

I'm rather fond of grits, though all I can find around here is the instant variety.

Order some grits from Nora Mill www.noramill.com They are heaven in a bowl. I think they are the best grits I have ever eaten. You will think your taste buds are giving your mouth a party. :hatsoff: Here's the bag that you want http://www.noramill.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=206

Your comment reminds me of a story from the Carolinas:

A fellow with 2 mean-looking Dobermans went into a BBQ joint down South & asked the barmaid, "Do ya'll serve damnyankees in here?"

Looking at the fellow and his 2 snarling dogs, she gulped and said, "YESSIR, I reckon so."

"Fine" said he. "Get me a tray and a beer & feed the yankee to my dogs."

NOTE: I just don't know what to make of a southerner that doesn't eat grits.

Why sir I take umbrage to "south New York" but I agree with your feelings. It's not the yankees per se, it's the big city yankees, the type that moves down and starts telling you how to live. "Country or Swamp Yankees" are okay.
And don't forget the first battle of "The war" was at Ft. Pickens and the last battle of the War was at Olustee and the Confederates won both times, actually I'm some times confused about who won the war, some folks say the North but I don't believe that. Can't possibly be true.

If that is the case, then nearly everyone that has moved to Montana from elsewhere is a "big city yankee"...

If they didn't like where they lived so much that they moved away, why do they keep trying to turn MT into the place they left?

 

[satx78247]

GOOD POINT.

The DYs that confuse (and ANNOY) me are the ones who move to San Antonio and then talk so dismissively about Latinos and Tejano culture/mores/food/everything.

The point is that nothing in the world is quite as awful as grits with the possible exception of cheese grits. People who had been subjected to it by their uncaring parents may defend it like a hostage falls in love with their kidnapper, but the truth is that it's not fit for good livestock.

Oh you poor misguided soul.Having enjoied so many of your post I know your heart is in the right place.I can only hope that your taste in food improves to be on par with your taste in guns.
Poor Rifleman has the same mistaken view of grits,And I fear for his soul.

By the by Grant met with Lee at took his sword. Lee was just too much of a gentleman to ask for it back.When Grant discovered he still had Lees sword he invented the whole surrnder story to cover his skulldugery

While there are some that do not care for the texture of the dish, to say that such is not fit for good livestock is disparaging beyond the pale. While I have been told there is no beer in heaven... I am fairly certain, and do expect, that there are cheese grits!

Yes, I am sure that at the marriage supper of the Lamb spoken of in Rev. 19:9 they will be serving grits and gravy. The grits may be cheese grits with bacon but I know that there will be grits for everyone. I am also sure that no one in Hell will be getting grits so pick your table, Alden. :blah: :haha: :haha:

 

[satx78247]

VERY TRUE.

There will be beer too. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" Ben Franklin. :thumbsup:

 

[Loyalist Dave]

Yes but the Belgian monks teach us there is no beer in heaven, so we must drink it here.

Speaking of beer in the grits thread, I met a fellow over the weekend, who used grits to make a version of "corn beer" to see what it might have tasted like. I suggested he simply get flint corn, parch it, crack it, and leave the grits to the table, not the keg.
