It's *kinda* like oatmeal but in my opinion, it's a lot better.

Posted: 8/16/06 at 11:57amYeah. Just like when I was in Scotland, our host tried to convince us that haggis came from some furry little animal called the "haggi."

Here is a definition that I found:
Usually a breakfast item in the US Southern region. Made from the kernel of corn. When corn has been soaked in lye and the casing has been removed it becomes Hominy. The lye is rinsed out very well and the corn is left to harden. Then the swollen hominy is ground up to the texture of tiny pellets. When boiled with water, milk and butter it becomes a cereal similar to cream of wheat. It's used as a side dish for a good old fashioned Southern breakfast.

oh, grits, hominy, cracked corn...whatever! Southern cooking is the best.
I just love grits with a little butter. Cheese is good, too, though!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Do they deliver to Manhattan?
I've recently discovered that Trader Joe's has a gallon jug of unsweetened tea, but who drinks that? I want the good stuff.

Have you ever had a chicken sandwich (Chicken breast is fried)? CHICK-FIL-A was the ones that created that. They sell Chicken nuggets, Chicken strips, Grilled chicken sandwiches, Chicken salads, etc. They are great!

Their specialty is chicken sandwiches that are really delicious. I keep hoping someone will open one in Grand Central Station.
Delicious

Cheerwine is not ACTUAL wine. It is a soda drink.

Who remembers Sandi Patti singing their jingle?

Posted: 8/16/06 at 12:38pmI grew up in Georgia. Since moving to New York the only things I really miss from the South are Cheerwine and Chick-fil-a.
