Ain't it amazing Kendall? And that's like Caroline's comment in a way too.......Sandy talked about her hating mush possibly because she knew it was a cheap fixin'. Maybe I'm the "backlash" of that same feeling. As a kid I HATED mush and now I'm thinking that it's presence was so common that I somehow knew this "wasn't what they ate uptown." And now do I enjoy it because of the nostalgia, the great memories of childhood? Meals were a fantastic time in my family. Is that what makes mush so good now?

But the price of "fashionable" foods never ceases to amaze me. Fashionable isn't the right word, but when you look at the price of grits, as Jeri just did...........get real. As soon as someone "discovers" a food, the price takes off. Frozen White Castles for gawdsakes! And yeah, I know there is a difference, but I'd just as soon have "puddin'" as mousse(sp). But I DO wonder exactly what chemical concoctions I'm eating that makes whitefish taste like lobster, scallops, and crab!!!
