Things us southerners eat that westerners hate

[charlotte49er]

Ok, I feel the need to file a rebuttal. Indigenous person/Mexican by birth, Californian since the Spanish owned the place. My family can be traced here since 1860. I also have experienced the South, their wimmen (Ex-MamaSan is from Baton Rouge) and their food.

Liver mush? Ok, you got us there, I have yet to see that or Scrapple (:puke:) on any grocery shelves.

Grits? Whoa there, big boy. Just another corn product. We have grits on the shelves at most grocery stores. We just prepare it differently in restaurants. I have eaten it as breakfast since I can remember. From Wikipedia - "Grits are a food of Native American origin...."

Chittlins? We call them "tripas" (guts). They can be found prepared in just about every Mexican restaurant, taco wagon and in the meat section at the grocery stores. In fact, I had a tripas burrito for lunch yesterday.

Just my .02 :D

I used to live near the Mexican grocery on Central ave. (It was within walking distance of Windsor Park.) Anyway, They sold chicken feet by the buschel! (Really? Chicken Feet? I figured it was used in soup for flavoring??)

The other then they sold by the pallets full was Planteens. (Plantenes (sp)) (Looks like LARGE Bananas. But I was told they weren't.)

My Grandfather used to eat tongue (Beef tongue) and brains. (Not together!) I always thought they were "Southern Food"??

I have lived in NC my entire life, and I have NEVER heard or had half of this stuff.

I did grow up with a Yankee mother and a British father though, so maybe that's why.
