Being from California I had never eaten grits until I was nine and visited the southern east coast... (Florida, the Carolinas) but I must say I enjoy them greatly... they are very closely related to cream of wheat... another thing I had never tried until I visited the south was hush puppies.. WHY DO YOU SOUTHERN PEOPLE hide these things from us ?????!!! OH they are sooooo great !! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them !! I find it interesting how things like grits and hush puppies can't find their way from the south... but borders and starbucks have seem to creep onto every corner !
