My opinion about Romney learning to be a Southerner.

6. One small quibble

I learned to like grits.

Took a 6 week tour through the South in my younger days with my best friend.

Every place we stopped to eat had this disgusting cream of wheat like stuff on the plate. Sometimes it had stuff mixed in with it sometimes just butter... we never ordered this crap it just appeared.

Started by trying a bit of it and then eating around the pile as best I could, after a week or so I kind of looked forward to seeing what kind of grits we'd get. By the end of the trip I was actually asking for extra and it hurt when I got back home and couldn't find them in the grocery store. They had instant grits sometimes but those ain't grits IMO. Finally when I started looking hard enough I was able to find suppliers, it sort of became a "habit" to hunt for grits and try new ways to cook them.

My wife never did develop a taste for them but I've got two of three kids that like them so far so I've got her outnumbered.

I guess you could say that I've always liked them just hadn't had a chance to experience them but I did learn to like grits.
