MacKenzie Posted April 26, 2015 Report Posted April 26, 2015 skreef, you have started with a big bang, gorgeous dinner, perfectly toasted bread and delicious dessert
tony b Posted April 26, 2015 Report Posted April 26, 2015 Awesome looking dessert! We'll have to share shrimp & grits recipes. I think mine is a pretty damned good one if I do say so myself. I'm from SC, so I'd better know how to make decent shrimp & grits or they'll take away my visiting privileges! 1
dstr8 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 skreef: Good looking vittles! Just got back from my first visit to North Carolina...and had my first taste of the local fare, shrimp and grits, at the Spouter Inn dinner house in Beaufort...splendido! It was one of those depressing dinners. Depressing because with each fork full I got closer to the end of some incredibly tasty fare! 1

Young lady, you can cook on that KK! I use to hate grits. They are an acquired taste for a Yankee like me but ................. You don't have to like Grits you'll hardly know you're eating them. A little bit of the creamy tomato sauce with each bite of the meal. And the bread to sop up whatever is left. Dang it making me hungry for another serving. She has made these a few times and this was her best one to date
tony b Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Didn't know that I was surrounded by Yankees! Folks will go to a fancy Italian restaurant and rave about the polenta. Well guess what folks, them's grits! 1

While the Outer Banks of NC are very nice, next time go to the "real" Beaufort, the one in SOUTH Carolina, for shimp and grits. It's a "low country" dish and Beaufort, SC is in the heart of the low country. Beautiful city, too!
CeramicChef Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 tony - polenta, grits, hominy, etc. Just other word for wall paper paste if you ask me. I've tried grits every way imaginable ... cheese, garlic, fried, etc. Wall Paper paste. But that's just my uneducated palate!
tony b Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 All in how you're raised. Southern boys eat grits for breakfast, Yankees eat oatmeal. So, I'd have to say the same thing about Oatmeal = mucilage! Anything that needs that much brown sugar, honey, butter, milk, etc. to be able to choke down is pushing the limits of food (IMHO!) Flaked oats are only good for 2 things - Scotchies and Stout!
CeramicChef Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 tony - I always felt oats were best left to horses. At least that's what I told my Mom. That went over like a lead balloon!
tony b Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I bet, Mom's are like that! My Dad in his later years would get up before Mom and make his own breakfast. He'd brag about how he only needed a kettle of water on the stove to make breakfast - instant coffee and instant oatmeal. I'd just shake my head in bewilderment, as my Dad was actually a decent cook, when he wanted to! 1
ckreef Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Being a Yankee I like my breakfast Grits with sugar. Kills Mrs skreef every time I do it. She's a true Southern Country Girl. For her Grits with sugar is about as close to a mortal sin as one can get - LOL 3
