Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Cheesy Grits a Food Network thing?
Real grits have salt, pepper and butter in them and are served with fried eggs.

But what gets me and my native friends are the northerners that come here and say Oh we love your mtns - it is so quaint here Every time I'm in Georgia visiting my girlfriend's family, I pay a visit to the mountains. It reminds me of my old home outside of the elevation and accents. Unfortunately, there's more and more retirement homes there....like my old area.
Then these same people run for office and change the very things they like! Weve had enough of those kind of outsiders.
Yep.....citiots.

Crappies have too many bones. Trout and Salmon are my favorites.
I'll eat catfish, but only in the south.

Yes. Especially if you’re from Virginia.

I can make a pair of perfect (albeit small) fillets from a one pound crappie and leave every bone in the carcass. The trick is a very thin and sharp fish cleaning knife.

My nieces hunt ... deer, turkey, quail, pheasant & varmints of all kinds. Both shot sporting clays on a college team so they are crack shots. The one who got married is also a really good archer with a couple of nice bucks to her credit. She is currently teaching archery instructors and working to get archery programs in the schools in the state where she lives. The wedding cake topper had a gal dragging a guy away from hunting - little sign said ‘no hunting’. With 20-20 hindsight, it would have been more accurate for the sign to say ‘go hunting’ with my niece dragging her hubby out in the field! His friends all ask him how he got so lucky - she’s a true hunter ... and beautiful, too.

A Southern woman only needs 3 things to survive any social situation: a little black dress, a string of pearls, and a Smithfield ham. :-)

But the thing is... EVERYBODY loves pizza and canolis. Grits are ok, they’re like oatmeal, only made of corn, but they’re not to die for... It’s like when they say blacks like fried chicken and watermelon. Who among us DOESN’T like fried chicken and watermelon? Which goes back to John F’in Kerry’s famous pander, Who among us DOESN’T enjoy NAHSCAH?

“Whoever came up with the name grits wasn’t being complimentary. They taste just like a Texas sand storm. Gritty, gritty, gritty.”
Those are undercooked, or don’t have enough water, or both. Grits slow cooked with a bit of milk, and served with a pat of butter, salt and pepper are laruppin’. Stoneground grits are even better. Grits are basically polenta, without the ad campaign.

I have fished salmon out of the port of Kewaunee and shore fished for trout on the north shore of Lake Superior. There's no fish that I would not try (except eel pout and certain greasy lake trout found off Munising, MI.
My grand dad used to go fishing with his pals on the Grand River in north Missouri and bring back big flathead and blue cats.
My mom and I always acted appreciative but when he left, my job was to bury them in the veggie garden.
