Food and Sensitivity
Somehow in rural Southern culture, food is always the first thought of neighbors when there is trouble... "Here, I brought you some fresh eggs for breakfast. And here's a cake and some potato salad." It means, "I love you. And I am sorry for what you are going through and I will share as much of your burden as I can." And maybe potato salad is a better way of saying it. -- W.D. Campbell
Grits
I am alarmed over the grits situation... You have to ASK the waitress to bring you grits. Previously you only had to ask the waitress NOT to bring you grits. More recently, there has been an even more alarming trend in this regard. At some restaurants, you not only have to ask for grits, but have to PAY for them as well. I consider this a sacrilege, as I am quite sure that the Lord never intended for grits to be sold. -- C. Robins
