I lived in the South for a long time.Grits were served as a normal part of breakfast.
I didn't like them very much,then.I thought they were tasteless.
I had them without butter.
They need something on them to make them delicious like butter or cheese.
I had them ,recently,with butter, at a restaurant. They were delicious

As near as I've been able to find out, Grits seem to be some kind of Southern Love Food.

I've seen people mix mayonnaise and ketchup together.. to dip their fries in. It's odd looking because they don't look like they wanna blend lol.
As for me.. I like putting a pinch of salt in my sprite.
I can't think of anything else atm. ------------------

Yeah, the mayo/ketchup thing is yummy. It's sort of like 1,000 Island dressing.IP: Logged |

Fiddleheads are so delicious.I used to get fiddlehead pickles.
There is something decadent about fiddle heads like asparagus or artichoke hearts lol------------------

When I was a kid in the ozarks, after the bull cows on our ranch were castrated, we ate mountain oysters (I don't recall having them).The only other exotic thing which is really a black culture thing is my dad's wife had to making chitterlings (pronounced chit'lins) for all the holidays. It smelled horrid. Pig intestines!! I think it would be cool to live in the orient where people eat chicken feet. I also watched a show on strange cuisine in korea, people were eating anuses. Very bizarre. I like cultures that don't waste their foods although I would never eat it. I used to have pet rats too! One called minero would run around my house and scare my cats IP: Logged |

French fries are great dipped in ranch dressing as well. Not very exotic, but still good! IP: Logged |

Puerto Ricans call the sauce they dip their plantain fritters, or "Tostones" into Mayoketchup. It's made from mayonaise, ketchup, fresh lemon juice, and minced garlic...it's too die for!! I highly recommend it for dipping fries into as well IP: Logged |

We don't have strange foods where I come from....just fine, or gourmet dining.  A bit stuck up, up there. There are some foods I enjoy here....but only 'cause i've lived other places and had the opportunity to taste them all. I like the "hillbillyness" of the south.  More relaxed, less snobby & uptight.

These aren't exactly "strange", but they're part of North Dakota's heritage: knoephla soup, krumkake, lutefisk, and lefse. There are others, but these are the only ones I've tried.IP: Logged |
