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.

what's a grit

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

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

I just am unable to eat certain textures.

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).

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

I do love strawberries though.

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?

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.

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

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

So who drinks soda and who drinks pop?

Mmmm cottage cheese.......

And wtf is grits?

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.

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

Are the big tails still on them?
