Delpit "Average as Grits"

[Spurdog98]

I’ve eaten shrimp and grits many places and can’t remember ever seeing jeans like that. What kind of places do you hang out at?

I'm from the south and I don't really care for grits. Hope I don't have to turn in my southerner card

I wouldn't mind having that f250 platinum that sofia was talking about, though

I probably used the wrong wording. I’m talking about this guy. Any time I’ve seen shrimp and grits on a menu, it’s at a place where you see this. Like a crossover between southern and pretentious. To be clear, the dish itself isn’t what I’m knocking.

There’s an Irish pub in Charleston called Tommy Condon’s that has surprisingly good Shrimp and Grits; weird for an Irish joint to be sure. I’ve been there many times, but so far no jeans like those.

I’ll have to try and find a pic of what I’m talking about.

Not sure I want that in my search history, but considering the places I visit per this thread, what the heck, right.

If I'm eating fried eggs (over light) I'm eating grits and want a biscuit with country ham and grape jelly to go with it.
When I was 18 I hitchhiked to SF and moved in with some friends in San Rafael. First week there, we made our way to the beach at Sausalito and decided to stop at a small diner for breakfast where I ordered eggs and asked the waitress "yall have grits?". She immediately called another girl over to the table and tells me to ask her. They started laughing, "What is a grit, and did you say yall, where are you from?"

On Edisto Island above Charleston, one of the few restaurants was located in the BP station as you get onto the island. A little black woman ran the restaurant and served a casserole of baked grits that were really really good. Every restaurant in Charleston serves fish or shrimp and grits.

I eat breakfast about two to three
times per year . Same with brunch . Lunch maybe once or twice per week. So grits aren’t something I’ve had in years .

My granddaddy could eat grits at every meal. They were cheap during the hard times and he got used to eating them pretty regular. When we’d go fishing on some Saturdays, we’d sometimes get breakfast at this little local cafe that opened early. That’s where I learned to eat grits mixed with fried eggs, the runnier the yolk the better.

We ate a lot of fish back then, plenty of fish fries were a way for families and friends to gather. Mostly bream, shellcracker, and channel cats. The best side was cheese grits made with sharp cheddar and not too stiff. You couldn’t buy it as good in a restaurant.

I had never heard of shrimp and grits until about 10 years ago. At the time I’d rather have my shrimp fried, grilled, or in a low country boil. Never thought much about eating them in grits. Went to a place in Thomasville Ga a while back called Jonah’s. Shrimp and grits was their specialty, so I gave ‘em a try. Didn’t know what I’d been missing! The cool thing was that they served me even though I wasn’t wearing those unisex sparkling dungarees. I’d recommend Jonah’s S&G if you’re ever up that way. Any way you serve ‘em, grits is good groceries.

I am sorry. Accept my sympathy.

Well, grits make excellent supper fare, too!

There is just no reasonable excuse for not eating grits. The grocery stores in Wisconsin sold them. I doubt the existence of a Walmart in the country that does not sell grits.

I don't disagree with So. FLA. that shrimp and grits is a dish that has taken on airs, so why not discuss a genuine South Florida dish, fish and grits? Maybe served with fried mullet?

fried bass, speckled perch, speckled trout, redfish, flounder, catfish, bluegill, shellcrackers, stumpknockers, you name it, just tell me when and where!

Grits & bambi-mama sausage is good, too!

I consider myself pretty southern, but now have some self-doubt; what the heck are shellcrackers, and stumpknockers? Never heard of Bambi mama sausage, but am guessing it’s made from deer meat, specifically doe.

My Granddaddy DID have grits with every meal and my Grandmother had salmon croquettes available almost as much.

Unfortunately, I grew up in a household which Mom & Dad didn’t like seafood at all. Somehow I acquired the taste for loving seafood. So naturally, the only time I actually got to eat any kind of seafood would be on my birthday when I got to choose my dinner as a present.

It’s impressive that you’re able to keep up with UF sports so well...living in Somalia.

An apple or orange throughout the day. Maybe some peanuts if I go to a ball game . That’s about it for the most part with holiday exceptions , dinner is the only time to sit and eat.

Cream of Wheat is the best brand of grits around!
