Thread Name: BS: Grits
Subject: RE: BS: Grits
I'd say that "Penny Saved and Penny Earned." A wise move as I personally wouldn't spend two cents on grits...especially "Instant Grits." Of course I ain't too hot on polenta either. I'm always amazed that some foods having a history of of being "cheap" are now given a status and a price that's totally contradictory to the original value. grits were cheap and could be served up to a large family along with home made sausage, biscuits, and eggs from your own chickens, smothered in gravy which only needed a little more flour and salt and pepper. This meal will now cost you seven bucks at "Cracker Barrel."

Why hell, for that same price I could get a dozen frozen White Castle "sliders" at the supermarket!
