Which do you prefer?

Just so you know, you are ALL failing this test miserably.

And yeah, Michael, I WILL fight about it! I'm a redneck and even we know you don't put SYRUP on biscuits---it's sausage gravy, man, all the way!

When I make chicken & dumplings, I put syrup on my dumplings. My husband thought that was really weird.

Born and bred Hoosier

1. Jello--side dish or dessert? DESSERT

2. Soda, pop, or coke? COKE

3. Mac and cheese--side dish or main dish? SIDE

4. Biscuits and gravy--tear up the biscuit and eat with spoon or split biscuit and eat with knife/fork? SPLIT

5. Grits--sweet or savory? WHAT ARE GRITS???

6. Bathroom tissue--over or under? OVER

7. Green onions or scallions? GREEN ONIONS

8. Pecan: pecahn or peecan? PECAHN

Now keep in mind my wife is also a born and bred Hoosier and she would disagree with me on half of these.

How can a Hoosier not know what grits are? They're made of corn! When the Alaskan knows what grits are and the Hoosier doesn't something is wrong with the world.

[grandpalw]

Northern Hoosier, we don't bleed blue up here. Unless there is a little gold mixed in with it!

And I suppose if I were forced to eat grits (whatever they are) I would smother them in maple syrup!

And yes, something is wrong with the world, it has California in it.....LOL Don't throw stones at me its just a joke, OK?

Behold, Grits!

Cooked (white):

Uncooked:

It is generally ground hominy but I don't think that's a technical requirement to be considered grits. Further research shows that the grits belt doesn't include Indiana so I suppose you are excused.

P.S. Dang it! Now I've a hankering for some grits!

Well, if its any consolation, I love hominy,......and yes I put syrup on hominy, and lacking syrup, honey makes a perfect substitute.

BTW thanks for excusing me..LOL

[MisterT]

I like hominy best in soup, like Mexican Pozole. Great texture!
