Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Charleston shrimp and grits ???

You guy's still talk'in about that damn no flavor, no nutritional value ground up corn?? Lots of fuss over something so nasty. I will give you Southern boys props on your seafood though. Tonight Lori and I went to a local place called Absolutely Fresh Seafood where they fly it in daily six days a week from the East coast, West coast and Gulf.

We had a dozen Virginia Chicoteague oysters on the half shell and then followed those up with a dozen Gulf oysters on the half shell. We split a Gulf shrimp po' boy and had two cups of gumbo with okra that wasn't "snotty". Now that my friends is good eats!!

grits are good stuff what is all the bunk about?

I like it a lot better when we're all gettin' along and sharing recipes. Guess I'm just old school.

Got a good recipe coming.

hardly. Geez-us.

Those look like some proper grits. Send that Quaker chit to Bowhunr.

99% of the carrying on here IS everyone getting along in their unique way. The other 1% are [bleep] and pricks, and not worth the trouble or your time.

Remember “Logic clearly dictates that the joys of the many outweigh the bullshit of the few.”

I apologize if I'm a 1% [bleep] and prick

You could never be in the 1%, not even if you tried. You are a good man, that disqualifies you from the 1% forever and always.

At long last, I may, may mind you, be catchin' on to this grit business.

Now, if someone would explain the finer points of McWen vs Quaker?

White corn, lye treated hominy, other?

I have seen a bushel, or two of corn in my day.

Huh? I see things going swimmingly well. just like shrimps on the ocean floor!

Was a great week in the Food Section!!

this fellow has a handle on the difference between ground corn products.

McEwen vs Quaker is fairly easy. Small mill, hand made, stone ground, will be fresher, and will make a better finished product.

Sam's the old fart driving the Hoveround with the camo paint job and the 2nd amendment sticker.

Up in the Birth of a deer camp thread, they say, "Pic, or it did not happen"

Richard, this is not me typing this. It is being done by someone who has taken over my computer and wants me to become the target of Southern jihadists for telling you this, but Quaker makes some (gasp) instant grits, the use of which would at least give you some idea of what they are like.

Well, not John, to a poor simple country boy, methinks, it is like bologna, no matter how you slice it--- .

It still sounds a lot like cornmeal mush to me.

Cornmeal mush is to grits as gravel is to sand.

I suppose introducing cornstarch pudding into this donnybrook would be sheer heresy?

My best efforts to educate yankee culinary philistines is taking a toll on me. I tire of casting pearls before swine.

What else can I say?

Most of my culture comes from yogurt, and sour cream.
