Polenta for country bumpkins.

This thread makes me homesick.

and grits are fucking wallpaper paste...why does anyone like that shit? honestly...

A good sweet potato pie is a wonderful thing. It is similar to pumpkin pie but its sweetness is more natural and it has a subtler flavor IMHO.

I quite like grits. FYI, grits are just ground corn, boiled in water on a stovetop until thick, and then served with a slice of cheese melted on top or just a little butter and salt. They're a classic American breakfast side dish for good reason. If you hate grits without ever having tried them, then you don't know what's good for you.

I believe hash browns and home fries are also foods of southern American origin (correct?) and I hope everybody here has the common sense and decency to acknowledge how great those are.

Grits with butter and redeye gravy are where it's at.

The South is the greatest friend mankind's stomach has ever had and the heart's worst enemy.
