mmm mmm mmm GRITS!
    #4016495 -

lmao....i just got my 1 pound bag of grits in the mail! I have been trying to get my mom to send me a few things up here that most Canadians are like WTF when I say what I want. Just a few standard things that someone in Fl would send another dilocated Floridian. Simple things like a box a grits, jar of pickled okra, can of boild peanuts, jar of guava jelly and of course a box of AMERICAN corn pops! Well I have been reminding her every month to send me a package for at least 3 years now. My friend was down in Florida for the gathering and emailed me cause she remembered me saying all I wanted was a damn box of grits. She sent me one before she hit Widespraed tour. Cost $9 to mail a 99 cent bag of grits. Nuts huh? i think the thing I miss the most up here is true Mountain Dew. The crap up here has no caffein and tastes different. What are some stupid things anyone else has had mailed to them? Just curious.

I only wish the vendor :cussing: I ordered through could get my order to me as fast as that sister got the grits to me. The grits came from further away and were sent like a week after I had made an order with a vendor and I still have not got my package from that vendor. :thumbdown: :cussing:

I never really saw what was so great about grits.. perhaps you can explain it to me? Everyone in florida is like grits grits grits. And crack, people like crack here too. But all grits is, is devitamized corn.. corn that has been robbed of what little nutrients it had in the first place. Just so you know. But yeah man, eat the fuck out of those grits.

Ahhhh yes...I do miss the Mexican food. There are no good places here and the one place people say to go is like $20 for a burrito plate. Sad.As for the grits. I guess you can say it is just a staple I grew up on. I never saw what people see in white rice....nothing in it but so many people eat it! Grits is basically hominy corn that has been dried and mealed. Usually a Florida boy like myself that were raised on grits knows 101 different recipes to make something so bland taste like the finest cuisine. Just like alot of folks do with stirfrys and tofus. One who really has not tried to many different recipes with grits would most likely end up not liking them. Certain southern dishes can not be completed with out grits.

When I was in the navy as a young one, I had a friend in my Naval School of Health Sciences courses that was from Slidell. His father owned a craw fish processing/steaming plant. he sent us to crates of steamed Cajun style craw fish that let out a huge ppfffftttt of steam when we opened it from an overnight delivery. We had a feast as did alot of people that day. There must have been a million of them. It was when I learned how to "suck brain"....talk about some hot spicy shit that will burn your mouth off!

Lol...I was taught that by the Louisiana guy. You do not bite the head off, but it still sounds just as gross. When they are seasoned and steamed there is a fluid sack in the head that retains all the spices. You just bust it with your thumb and suck. I only did it once and did not do it again! I really must stress just how damn hot them spices can get! :hellfire:

Lmao....after just getting in such a bad mood from dealing with idiot people that can't run a business, you sre made me laugh. So did the Canoodia remark!

SOOO much stuff is different up here. Everything from the tobbacco to the candy. Corn pops down there are softer, and just plain better. Up here they are like round captain crunch. Tear the shit out of your mouth. Fruity Pebbles are not pebbles up here may I add...lol. Resees PB cups are different. Texture and taste. Sodas. Too much stuff to compare.

Canada has different regulations on what is allowed in food up here versus what the States allow in theirs. Scary huh? Canada also is required by law to make availble ingredient\additive lists showing everyhing in the food you are buying. They do not have Marlboro Reds up here for that reason. They have a gold pack specially made for export becasue they do not want to release the additives to their tobbacco to Canadians and let it get back to the States. Hmmmm...wonder why! Zig Zags cost 70 cents for a pack of 100. Dont miss the expensive price of them in the states. Like I mentioned about Mountain Dew. I loved that shit and will not drink it up here. It is gross and I am surprised they even sell it as Mountain Dew.

The beer however...OH THE BEER!

As for nuggets, I bet there is someone sitting in Kansas right now growing pot just as good as any Canadian triple A pot. If you know where to get the best...you know where to get the best! Simple as that, only the prices are a big difference between us. And I know quite a few Americans that get damn good deals where they are! You just have a better chance of getting trip a pot at a cheaper price! We might have alot of pot but I turn down herb all day long that is swag being sold as regular. alot of people grow for money and want to get rich and all they grow is shit and try to get rich off of it. That shit don't cut it with me! Grow for personal and it don't cost nothing and you always get the best if you school yourself in growing properly!



Fuck....now I want American cornpops. I will have to ask my friend to bring me back some and a DEW when she gets back from widespread. She is all pisses becasue she is coming back and America is getting really harsh on the border and she might not be able to go back to the States for gatherings and tour if they keep it up. They are going to start making American's show passports in order to enter their own country...fucked...what are they gonna do to a dreadlocked hippy girl after that....DENY DENY DENY...entry to the states that is.

yes they recommend it. We always did, but I can't tell if my mom did so for the recommnedation or to keep the damn bugs and ants out of it. Damn florida and their kazillion bugs. Lol Dixie Lee (namebrand..says put in in fridge).....don't find anything dixie up here!

On another note, grit flour is one of the few flours I never could use in my past flour experiments. Read anything anywhere about using grits as substrate? Gonna go and search....lol.

yes, but we are talking about hominy corn and not regular or cracked corn. Basically hominy is corn that has been soaked in a brine.(if I recall correctly) That is what causes it to lose its color.It is then dried and stone milled. That is what makes grits have the right texture...stone milling. Another thing I have wondered about is masa. I have a huge bag of that around cause we are always using it. I guess I will have to try both tonight and see what happens.

Az
Edit....and I have used both corn and cracked corn. even used Indian corn and blue corn. I like playing :grin: Right now I have corn that has been soaking for a long time. I have basically let it sit for about 3 weeks outside and let it soak untill I can rinse it clear. It is finally rinsing clear. Just curious to see if they will still work.
That is the fun part of hobbies...expermentation.

We decide we are having seasoned grits and prawns for dinner...mmmm! Hell I always have collard greens around for our iggies...might even cook up some greens! I miss southern food!
