He wouldn’t eat grits ????
That does - I’m writing letters.
Quick story.
In 1977, I was a Freshman at The Citadel in Charleston S.C.
I California boy - I never even heard of grits. I thought they were nasty.
By Christmas of my Freshman year - I poured them on everything.
Grits are scary - until the yoke of an egg is broken into them and your mouth gets a hold of them.
RUDY - wake up buddy - grits are the best.
Spicy Shrimp and Grits - damn... I’m hungry.
I can’t see why he wouldn’t eat grits unless he didn’t like Polenta as a kid. If you don’t like Polenta you won’t like Grits.
Grits made it into the American diet when they were introduced to the first European settlers by the Indians up in New England.
