ebk Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks Dd. We have porridge but from Oates. Don't think yours will catch on here though. I think the name "grits" is a complete turn off. Sounds like something you squeeze off your chin or have a dose of after a dodgy curry ! Fridays fayre is Jerk Chicken and french fries. Loads of wine and some of the Cali Orange grow which gets better and better If it helps, CP, my husband likes to refer to grits as Southern Polenta. So if you like polenta, you'll like grits.

Strider Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 How about both? Hahaha..I love your thinking, ebk. But I want to be able to walk afterwards...I do have to work today. Now, if I didn't and could just roll over to the couch, that'd be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of wine and some of the Cali Orange grow which gets better and better Dear me, I could have sworn you and I had this 'grits' discussion before CP? Perhaps it was another English gent I was illuminating. But like Dd and ebk say, grits are fab and a man from porridge country should have no problem digging into a bowl. Or have them on the side with your eggs and bacon...as a substitute for your potatoes if you're worried about too much starch. Like ebk put it so picaresquely, think of grits as Southern polenta. Now, about your Friday fayre of jerk chicken and fries...are these sweet potato fries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Nice ! My Grandmother would be so proud! She always wanted me to focus on the English instead of the French, it was a constant struggle trying to prove to her that I was worthy.
