| Would you eat 21 pounds of grits? |
|
I just saw on the news something in Louisiana, a grits-eating contest.
The winner was some young guy who ate 21 pounds of the stuff.

I'm a Southerner who loves yellow, stone ground grits (cheese and shrimp grits casserole is to die for!) but 21 pounds of grits is just disgusting.
I think it's gross and wasteful to shovel food down like those eating contestants do. :puke:

but I could never, EVER, eat 21 pounds of them. Maybe a cereal bowl full! I heard this story this morning. Would love to see the person that accomplished that!

| 4. If I had some melted cheese...yes I would |
|
I love grits...not as much as the purists with butter only or plain, but I like with the cheese...yeah, I would try anyway.
And if you jammed some bacon and some type of small crustacean in there...ooohhhhaahhhhh
OK...now that my food fantasy for the day is over...back to my steamed squash.

I've always thought grits - like tofu - should be classified as a "food-like substance". Neither is palatable unless doctored with a lot of other stuff to hide the fact that they have no more taste than cardboard.
Now 21 pounds of barbecued ribs, guacamole, or chili I might consider, though you'd have to pay me a lot to cover the cost of the bypass I'd need after.

But I'd probably get tired of them after the second week.

| 9. No. I don't think it's physically possible for me to eat 21 pounds of grits. |
|
Maybe over a long period of time, but not in the timeframe of a gluttony contest.
