can't offer any commentary on grits or black eyed peas for that matter, but i know of french canadian people up here who enjoy a thing called "poutine". "Poutine" is basically fries with gavy, cheddar cheese all mushed together. It looks gross, and is fondly referrred to as the "heart attack special". If you have a plate of these and a large chocolate milk you can almost feel your arteries harden! BTW if you put plaster of paris (sp.?) in a dish with a bit of sweetener to entice cockroaches, when the little devils ingest this stuff, the moisture in their stomach will mix w/ the plaster of paris, and render them little fossilized corpses! michael.heron@utotonto.ca (65' and 73' Westfalia's) >Greeting fellow AirHeads, > >I'm usually just a lurker here, but feel I must speak up after seeing some >of you slam grits. > > Now every region has some unique foods that others don't understand: >Australia has Vegamite (can you say axle grease?) >I hear some yankees put mayo and/or gravy on french fries (Eeeuuuuu!) > >My girlfriend and I go out to breakfast every Sat. morning, and I always have >a whole-wheat biscuit, soysage (soybean sausage), yogurt-based gravy, and >CHEESE GRITS.
