Post #1591 - September 24th, 2011, 11:50 am"If you love corn and you hate grits, then you haven't had them done correctly", I was told after declaring my intense aversion to grits. It started many years ago when I was shipped off to a summer camp in rural Georgia (cue "Dueling Banjos" music - it was really just like Deliverance) The only thing for breakfast was gooey, foul grits. Where were the Frosted flakes? Sugar Pops? Cocoa Puffs?
So the other day I was given stern instructions: Buy fresh, stone-ground grits from Hoppin' John. Make shrimp with grits a.k.a. breakfast shrimp a.k.a. grits with shrimp gravy. Use the best shrimp, bacon, cheese, butter, etc. If I didn't like this then there would be no hope for me.
Nothing else to say but "Wow". And "OMG". I have been converted!

Funny because I went to summer camp in Georgia (Camp Coleman on Rt. 129 between Cleveland and Blairsville--not sure if it was deliverance country exactly but it was pretty much in the middle of nowhere). And I LOVE grits because I first had them there and it became one of my favorite meals--sometimes I went with butter and salt; others, it was butter and jelly (not sure this is a recommended preparation but I adored it)--yes, they became gelatinous and molded to the plastic camp plates if you didn't eat it pretty quick but it's still a fond food memory from childhood. As they say, different strokes

LOL, yes, my son informed me that it's starting this week. I didn't even know he knew who B&B were.

I have high hopes for B&B, but I keep hearing that voice in my head saying, "You can't go home again."Steve Z.

The voices are probably right in this case. "Clearer" heads and all.

HA! I have a picture of this very same soup packet on my phone, from when I spotted it in the international aisle of the Kenosha Woodman's this past summer. I guess "great" minds really do think alike
