Oh gosh, the chowder, grinders, regular coffees and the pastries at “the market”, I gained 15 pounds easily! There was a little Italian vendor near my apartment. He was always giving me free food. Fantastic!
BTW, don’t knock the grits, but we do enjoy some of the best seafood and Southern cuisine in the world. Key lime pie? Fugetaboutit! I’m hungry...
Key Lime Pie's great but the first,and last,time I ever ate grits was at Ft Knox,KY when I was 19.My attitude toward grits is now basically the same as "Vinny's" (Joe Peschi).."well,I just never *saw* a grit before". ;-)
