I always liked to whip my up into a red-eye grit mix by tossing a strip of bacon into um. I haven't tried this yet but I'm thinking of making venison and grits - both are sooooooo good, they can only be better together.

Don't let the PA thing throw you - I'm a Tennessee boy who is just itchin to get back home. People in Pittsburgh have a very tilted concept of what good eats are!

So, let's see, heaven would be grits, chicken-friend Spam with white gravy, Cheez-Whiz and wieners, all washed down with Mr. Pibb--and deep-fried Twinkies for dessert?

Guess that explains the term "brain drain" (and "draining the weasel", too

) ...

Wash it down with some brussels sprout soda.

I actually smelled and tasted these sodas the other day. The cranberry actually tasted normal. I tried the herb stuffing and it was scary. It kind of tasted like alka-seltzer mixed with urine. I didn't even get to the pumkin pie and turkey and gravy, because next I tried the brussels sprout.

Well, I didn't actually drink it. I got my nose within about five inches before I gagged and put it down. It had as foul an odor as rotting flesh. I have no idea what this soda company is trying to do with this. It kind of reminds me of the Harry Potter jellybeans.

Oh man, that's got to be the nastiest thing I've ever seen. I actually looked it up to check for myself that it's real (and shuddered when I discovered it is real).

Oh, and I like my grits with cheese and hot sauce. Have to make 'em at home though. Here ("up north"), there aren't many restaurants that serve 'em.

You know, "Weasel coffee" (and the close relative "Civet Coffee") is pretty nasty too:

Then you need to try Souse while you're at it.

Maybe ads some chitlins for good measure.

There are a couple of great quotes from that site:

When U.S. companies begin marketing their products in Africa, it is common practice to have a picture on the label of what is inside, since most people there can not read English. Gerber Baby Food was not aware of this, and ran into a problem, since the photo on their label is of a cute Caucasian baby.

and

STARGAZY PIE

A Cornish fish pie made with fish heads sticking out of the crust around the rim looking towards the sky. In 'Observer Guide to British Cookery' (1984) Jane Grigson writes that "it is a specialty of Mousehole where they make it on 23 December every year, Tom Bawcock's Eve, in memory of the fisherman who saved the town from a hungry Christmas one stormy winter."

Had my first encounter with "blood pudding" at a bus station in Scotland.
It looked like a brown hockey puck and I presumed it was a sausage patty until it resisted my best effort to stab a hole in it with a knife.

That was to be eaten? I thought that was wallpaper paste. I have it all over the walls of my home office.
