This sounds an awful lot like haggis. I hear about it, specifically how gross it is, and can never imagine anyone ever actually choosing to eat the stuff except maybe to taste it. Yet it hasn't just gone the way of the dinosaur.
I've never tasted haggis. But I'm forever hearing from people who thought the same way, then tasted it, and found it delicious. Stuart was one just last week. Never ate the stuff in his life. Then one of his colleagues made it for them for dinner and he's now a convert. And that's saying something, coming from one of the most picky eaters I've ever known.
I might have to give it a try after all.
So maybe it's the same deal for grits. The thought of eating it is appalling, but once you do and try to forget its origins it actually tastes quite good?
