"...contestants seated on a stage made from a flatbed trailer furiously wrung corn in a shucking competition."
How exactly does one wring corn? And why?

BTW: What was up with Flo? Were we really supposed to think she was hot? I got more turned on by Bea F--ckin' Arthur for Crissake...
Anyway, I once had oysters tossed in grits. It was delicious.

I'm heading down to Oxford MS next week to visit my cousin. Will stop in at City Grocery on the square for some shrimp and grits. What I'm talkin' about!

I was raised in Charleston and love shrimp and grits. Everytime I go back for a visit I make sure I get some. Last trip we found a small shack of a resturant north of Mt. Pleasant served the best shrimp and grits I ever had, and that's saying a lot.

There's a tradition in
'Spirit' Drum & Bugle Corps that grits are served on the day of Finals. In the '80s, when I was a member, they had bumper stickers with the Spirit Drum Corps Logo and 'Grits - Breakfast of Champions'.

I first tasted grits during a trip my husband and I made driving to Florida. I loved it and gritted the whole way to Florida. In Coral Gables we found some fantastic Cuban restaurants and I Cubaned out there. Something else to love about America - its variety of different foods. I sometimes buy grits at our local Price Chopper here in New York State. I cook it and add butter, but it's not as good as the grits down south.

I remember when I was in the Navy. One morning in chow line
line the guy in front of me was from N.Y. Grits were being served. The guy from N.Y. said "what is that,cream of wheat?". The guy behind me was from Ga. and he said-"hell no,that's Georgia ice cream".
