Houma? Seriously? I have an aunt in Houma. Unfortunately, she's a little peaked in the head and got some wild idea that this part of the family is trying to do "something" to her and she went off on my dad a few months ago. No one's been able to get in touch with her since.

Hey, I'm eating the last of my grits right now.

 

[MisterNiceGuy]

what's a grit

 

[Seamaiden]

It's made from corn that's been processed a certain way.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

ooohhh nooooo can't eat that, to textury for me......

I just am unable to eat certain textures.

 

[Seamaiden]

That's alright, grits ain't for everybody. Maybe even an acquired taste. I have the taste. I know what you mean about texture, when I was a kid I could not STAND cottage cheese or strawberries. The taste was fine, but cottage cheese felt "screaky" on my teeth (and curdled), and eating strawberries always felt like I was eating dirt.

My sister says the favorite food texture of Japanese is mushy. I think she's right (she did live there for over 10yrs).

 

[misshestermoffitt]

I could never eat cottage cheese because it looks like spoiled milk. ack.

I do love strawberries though.

 

[MisterNiceGuy]

isn't that what cottage cheese is?
and wow, grits look scary to me
wait, isn't that the stuff that black people are supposed to be known for eating?

 

[Seamaiden]

Southerners. It's a southern food, not particular to black, white, or mulatto. I think technically all cheese is spoiled milk, yeah? I like the creamy kind of cottage cheese.

 

[MisterNiceGuy]

wasn't tryin to be racist but never seen grits before
Grits!!

 

[misshestermoffitt]

Grits are a southern thing, I agree. They're not real big with people around here.

So who drinks soda and who drinks pop?

 

[Londoner]

Mmmm cottage cheese.......

And wtf is grits?

 

[Londoner]

It's made from corn that's been processed a certain way.

Oh i didnt see that post.

Sorry it looks rank....

 

[misshestermoffitt]

That's what I always thought about Lentils when watching "The Young Ones".

read back a little bit, theres a pic of grits by Seamaiden.

 

[Seamaiden]

Hey, it's not like I'm pushing Vegemite or dried guppies on you.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

dried guppies?

 

[Londoner]

Vegemite? Dried Guppies? lmao wtf?

 

[Londoner]

does seamaiden know something about uk food that i dont??

 

[misshestermoffitt]

Vegemite is an Aussie thing and I don't know WTF the dead guppies are about?

I'm interested in seeing where this goes though......

 

[Seamaiden]

dried guppies?

It's a Japanese thing. That and Whaley-snacks. They STINK! I have a sister who lived in Tokyo for quite a while and she came back to the U.S. once to visit, bringing us all of these little tokens of everyday Japanese life. One was a common snack to be found in vending machines at train stations and the like. Slivered blanched almonds and tiny little dried fish. It was one of the most rank things I have EVER tasted, and I like fish.

Oh, and I brought up the Vegemite because it's the only food that inspired a gag and regurgitate reflex for my husband. The moment it hit his tongue.

 

[misshestermoffitt]

nasty. dried guppies, damn you'd have to eat a lot of them, guppies are little fish.

Are the big tails still on them?
