[@thegingergyrl455]

It’s ground Hominy grits , they are common too. I grew up with both. I’m originally from Mississippi and grew up and live in Tx. My auntie ,who was a lifelong New Orleans native , always served hominy grits. Red Eye gravy with bacon with shrimp boil is still a favorite memory.

And bread pudding is a treat!

Great vid, From Southern Mississippi myself been to New Orleans many a time. Glad you enjoyed our Southern Cuisine. And yes the Humidity is ridiculous. I know your interest in the relationship with Americans with Scottish ancestry and Modern day Scots, and how they differ. A lot of Americans with Scottish Ancestry comes from the Highlands with those beautiful mountains. Interesting fact that you may already be aware of or have covered in the past is that the Appalachian mountain range starts in Northern Alabama, US and ends in Scotland. The actual rock itself is from the same ancient mountain range known as the Central Pangean Mountain Range. So as fate would have it due to unfortunate circumstances many Highlanders had to leave their home, but wound up settling on the same mountain range they had previously lived on. For a direct example Ben Nevis is from the exact same Mt range as the Appalachian Mountain range. If you didn’t already know this I figured it would interest you. Also my name is Sean as well( I know different spelling), but us Seans gotta stick together lol. Take care.

[@notmyworld44]

Shaun, you should add butter, salt, and pepper to the grits while still warm. Grits are made of large-kernel hominy corn (maize) that has been treated first with lye water to remove the husk from the individual kernels. The treated kernels are then dried and ground to a coarse meal. The meal is cooked in boiling water to make grits. It is a typically southern American dish that is not well-known in the northern states.

[@stevestewart6287]

The circle fried thing was a catfish fillet, two of them stuck together. The tartar sauce is for that, but I like lemon juice on my catfish. The sauce for the shrimp is cocktail sauce, it is a tangy red sauce. The best fish is catfish, crappie, bluebill, and walleye, they are really good and way cheaper than lobster and crab legs. I usually get a whole fried catfish dinner, or the fillets.
