Humm well maybe I have never had them cooked right. Just know the few times I tried them way back when I did not like them they were gritty feeling to me.

But now if someone was to fix them for me I would try them again. And if it so happened that they were good the way they fixed them I would be the first to admit it.

But until that day happens I will pass them up.noway

if you dont let them cook long enough then they will have a tough texture,, simmer them long enough and they are smooth. i add salt and pepper and lots of butter to mine to help out. sometimes bacon pieces or country ham and chedder cheese to it.

Yeah like I said though as far as the product themselves they are considered two different things not one and the same.


Shshs besides I don't use cornmeal either so there!!tongue2


Now give me corn on the cob or sweet corn and heck ya :laughing:

Steak comes from a cow but you would not throw the cow on the grill. Awwww but it is the same thing:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:


think Just like butter comes from Milk but they are actually in reality two different things even though one is still the product of the other just processed different. think Ha now what is your point!!!bigsmile

see,, with your reckoning kristy., the food that comes to your table is not what it used to be. so steak cant be anything related to cow,, ribs cant be anything related to a pig, chicken cant be chicken,, thats the way im understanding you. beef is cow,, pork is pig, and chicken is chicken. quit while your ahead dear

drool Southern foods are good in my book! Most of what I make is more "southern style" cooking, even though my Mother was a "Buckeye", she was a very good cook. I've learned to make many "dishes" from folks all over the U.S. and different origins and nationality. Chaulk another one up to experience...umm GOOD ! (excuse me while I step into the kitchen :banana: all this has made me hungary).

Sshshhs Yankee Boy your the one that brought up comparing grits to corn noway I was just throwing a kink in that theory :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:


Most do add different spices or flavors to and item in order to enhance the taste. But then most of those items can be ate as is without any thing extra added to them for them to taste good in the first place.

Hummm but I tend to be leary when one has to add something to give it any taste for alone it has no taste or purpose except to be a filler. Hummm whoa tongue2
