    Whatever you do, don't ask for a hard roll...

    ...why would you want a hard one, we have fresh ones!

    Since discovering grits when I moved south in 1980, I can eat 'em most any way. I prefer cheese grits, but a little butter is great, too.

    Cheese, scrambled eggs, sausage and jalapeño (fresh or pickled).

    Some of the best grits you can buy come from near the trail at Neel Gap. Unbolted variety. You don't have to drive there, they sell them at local wHole Fds. www.loganturnpikemill.com Real grits take about 20 minutes to cook. Irish butter, applewood bacon, and english cheddar make it a meal.
    See ya when I get there.

    Looks a lot like these from Bob's Red Mill. They are great.

    No. She was really nice. I gave her a good tip.

    Corned beef hash is far superior than grits... and none of that canned stuff.

    BR grits polenta: 27 g carbohydrate and little else. Sounds like an insulin blast followed by a fall and crater.
    My advice, fry the grits in bacon grease if you want some real fuel that won't just give you T2D.

    That is why you add butter, cheese, etc.

    I never thought of Fritos that way but you are right and you can use them as a fire starter.

    Remind me what scrapple is. I'm thinking head cheese with corn meal??

    I'm not gonna tell you about the time I made homemade headcheese. or the couple of times I butchered a sheep and as a side made Haggis. Let your imagination run, you'll get there.

    My understanding is scrappel is the stuff they won't put in head cheese. MMMM!!! that texture as the gelatin melts in your mouth and gets all snotty like.

    Here is one description --- "scrapple is essentially a loaf formed out of pork liver, pork offal, pork broth, and cornmeal. There is little in the way of seasoning, and it has an unappetizing gray color. It tastes mostly of liver. The less you know about its making, the better off you are. I once read a recipe for scrapple that began, "scrub the snout vigorously with a wire brush." "
