According to wiki this is grits:

Grits are coarsely ground corn (maize). Yellow grits or corn grits are made from whole corn kernels, and include the hulls. White grits are made from corn that is first dehulled. Grits are prepared by simply boiling. It is similar in texture to Italian polenta (which is made from ground whole-kernel corn). It is also similar to farina, which is marketed in the United States by Kraft Foods under the trademark Cream of Wheat.

It is a characteristic food of the U.S. southern states, eaten either as a breakfast cereal or a side dish at a noon or evening meal.

Grits can be eaten in a variety of ways:

* With butter
* With butter, salt and pepper
* With gravy
* With butter, milk, and brown sugar (more typical of the Midwest US than the South)
* With cheese cooked in
* With cheese and over easy eggs mixed in
* With sugar

Pumpkin Pie tastes ok.. but again.. its a texture thing.. Its kinda like chunky coarse ground jello.. Now for a dish I have never tried (Nor will I ever) Try looking up "Haggis" I believe this is either a Irish or Scotish dish which is Sheeps Intestine stuffed with Veggies and who knows what else.. heard about it.. never seen it.. wont ever eat it

Haven't you ever heard that song by men at work? I believe the line is "I said do you speak my language? He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwhich..." It's gotta be an Aussie thing. The song is about Australlia.

Comments on other posts: Grits rock. Cow tounge is Yummy. Veggies are great, except onions and OLIVES!!! Olives are figgin Nasty! My fav food has gotta be anything w/ red sauce...And no i'm not Itallian. I also like Head cheese which most people find repulsive. Perhaps its my Scandinavian ancestory...

Heh.. I guess we dont have to worry about you being a picky eater SOHC

I have never tried Head Cheese.. Not even sure what it looks like.. Ever heard of Rocky Mountain Oysters?

Aka Cow testicles? Supposedly there is a big festival in Colorado every year where people gather to eat these things..

No Vegemite is out there all on its own. Theres nothing remotely like it. I just feel sorry for you guys that haven't tried it... not trying some would be as sad as dying a virgin....
