<![CDATA[Overrated Food]]>We all have those foods that some think are the end all be all, or how do you not like that response to certain things, I know I’ll be sent to the whippin’ post on this, but whatever!
Here is my list:

  1. Pancakes/waffles - I am hungry within an hour, you still have to eat proteins to fill you up, so what is the point.
  2. Bread pudding - I have had it a various high end steak houses, where it’s “supposed” to be great.
  3. Corn bread - this is one of those, well you have to add butter, honey, jalapenos, etc. then it’s good. Let’s be honest if you are having to add a whole bunch of other things to make it good, is it really that good?
  4. Bananas foster - Same as bread pudding, been to NOLA, had it there where it began, highly overrated.
  5. Baked beans - Yet another, well if you doctor the crap out of them up, then they are good, sorry sir, hard pass.
  6. Adding bacon doesn’t always make the dish better - I could argue with you on somethings it actually over powers the dish and takes away from it. If you aren’t careful the dish will just taste like bacon, if that is the case just eat bacon on it’s own.

Grimpuppy I’m waiting for Dr. Pain’s roasted grit magic, but for regular grits what I have found that usually what turns people off is the grit/sand texture. Flavors can be anything such as butter, maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, or bacon, but the trick I have found to make them creamy is to use regular cook grits and not instant or fast. Then I add just a bit more water than called for and put the heat on very low and cook low, slow, and through. It’s not killer by any means, but it is a good part of a meal and adds a different thing to the toolbox.

holley my wife makes homemade baked beans in a bean jar from scratch almost all others we ad mustard and onions if store bought

Care to share that recipe? My mother made wonderful baked beans, but she never used a recipe so when she passed so did the knowledge.

For the grits haters I would dare say that Zea’s roasted corn grits would change your mind. I may have to share the recipe one day (my tweak of them)

Are you saying that those roasted grits are that much better than regular grits because a well prepared bowl of grits are to die for?

You would think for all the time she spent in Georgia that she would enjoy more than plain grits, of course she likes okra too, I don’t care for it, it’s a texture thing for me.

I do agree with you on some things, but why does it bother you if people need to doctor up their baked beans?

Oh, & I forgot about Indian Pudding. You get a sweet version there. What you said somehow caused that to come to mind.

If you serve corn meal mush, the cost is around $5. If you serve polenta, the cost is around $15/20. LOL I believe they are all talking about “white grits” when they say: Hail NO! Yes, everyone has their opinion.

You can even mix them before chilling with some other spices or mozzarella or something to find her perfect flavor If you can find a way to roll them before chilling & slicing that is good. You can also put them in a plastic throwaway cup to get a similar shape or put it in ice cube trays to set. Horrible unhealthy I would gather, but terribly good!

We’ll see, my roaster just works so well I would hate to change.

I believe the name of the restaurant was “A Low Country Backyard”. Having both parents from the south I’ve always had grits, but a good shrimp and grits are hard to beat in MHO. Post that recipe when you have a chance. Im always looking for that new favorite.
