How come people in some corn-producing states don't eat grits? |
|
For instance, Kansas and Iowa.
(If you DO eat grits, please let us know.)

5. well, there's "real" religions and "fake" ones, too |
|
and everyone knows the church of "I live in a corn-producing state but don't eat grits" is an affront to the eyes of god...

4. Because they tend to have good school systems and their states don't live on federal welfare |

. . . and as I recall (as a city girl), the field corn went to animals and we pigged out on sweet corn, which actually turns into corn soup if you try to grind it into grits. I do a mean cornbread, though, unsweet and neat like the southerners prefer.
I'm afraid even after living in the south (and I really don't know that FL counts, given that it's overrun with the rejects from everywhere else, including Canadia), I still don't do grits, but my son was in scouts long enough that he actually craves them.
Afraid you're going to come up with a different punishment if this is heresy because I don't do religion, either. :evilgrin:

12. Exactly. Grits are nothing but yucko corn slurry with aftertaste. n/t |

11. Because the corn they raise is feed corn for animals, or, more recently, it's raised for ethanol. |

"Pretty Good Grits" ??
Has a nice ring to it.
Is it ok that I like them with cheese, or is that a no-no?

20. I live in Georgia, so of course, I eat grits. |

In fact, grits and eggs go together like peanut butter and jelly.
