First, Grits are good. Worst thing I think I've ever had: I grew up logging here in Oregon, paid my way thru school doing same. During one spring social event with some visiting football players from southern California, someone told them I was a logger. They asked "what made loggers so special". They'd been drinking and smoking using a shot glass for the ashtray. I might have been drinking too but don't smoke. I poured tequila right over the top of everything in the ashtray/shotglass and drank it down. No more questions about logging.

Hulled and dried kernels of corn, prepared as food by boiling, usually in lye water. It is the source of grits.

Same contents, processed differently (as noted).

Well, from the sound of things, you had to chew a little to get it down and it was definitely nasty, gross, and smelly.

Anyway, its impossible to hijack a thread that was started as a hijacked thread offshoot to begin with.

I'm even most proud that I did that way before meeting Reaper. Yes chewing was involved.

Sushi seige

There is a fantastic sushi place in Solana Beach, CA, that I frequented often while living there. I always went with a comapnay of folks who ordered the "chef's special roll", which was not on the menu.

Up until one visit, it had always been a "cooked" roll...but I will never forget ingesting the roll on that occasion. It was called smelt, (uncooked fish eggs), NOT caviar, to say the least.
Never have I been sicker...

Sir, I must respectfully say NEVER!!!!

To this day, it turns my stomach.
(Like people who once were violently ill drinking Tequilla...they just can't drink it, the smell alone drives them away.

I guess, to each his own.
