Oh honey, you don't need to teach me. Grits, biscuits, I'm all over it. (Though I'll be darned if I can figure out putting jelly on a buttery biscuit.) I just don't happen to have ever been in a Cracker Barrel.

I will feed anyone that would like good New York Italian cooking on any day, but I am not eating grits, or white gravy or anything else that looks like I chewed it up and spit it back out! :whistle

OMG! The first time I saw milk gravy with hard boiled eggs in it ... :sick

And my poor mother. She came down to visit and was sick as a dog and then saw that stuff. :))

What?? Have you ever had polenta?? Guess what it is?? LOL

White gravy and biscuits go a long way when you have a mess of kids to feed, kinda like pasta. My ex was full blooded Italian, but he was from Chicago. His mom did teach me to make some awesome Italian dishes with red sauce gravy, not spaghetti sauce. :)

But polenta cakes don't look like :sick I am very food picky. (I know you would never have figured that out! :)) ) I swear I need to find someone to ship me water from New York. I know it has to be the water that makes some of the food here taste funny.
 
I eat grits occasionally. I like to put butter, salt and pepper on them. While my son was in basic training, he got a bowl of grits thinking it was Cream of Wheat. He poured in a little milk and some sugar and one of his friends asked him what the heck he was doing. My son told him he was fixing his Cream of Wheat. The friend laughed and told him it was grits. My son ate it and loved it.

Winner, winner chicken dinner. That's the way to do it ... butter, salt, and pepper. (Though a nice runny yolk or two is nice in/on them, too.)

I love it. We're gonna give SD a nervous breakdown over food. :D :D :D
 
You know, you can make your grits as thick or thin as you like. Not sure how you've had them, SD but if they are too runny they are pretty nasty.

True story. I would throw out a pan of runny grits before I'd try to make them edible. Waffle House makes pretty good grits...not as good as my mother can make them, but pretty decent. (Caveat - the only Waffle House I can abide is the chi-chi Brookstone one. :embarrassed: )

Why I keep coming in here, I have no clue. Punishment I guess. I have also only been in a Waffle House once. The smell of grease/butter just about killed me. I left there too.
:laugh

UM - I have never actually ate grits! If I look at something and it makes me queasy I can't eat it.
