Lol, Serate. I won't even print my score...way too embarrassing but I have never been to the Southern States. One of my sons is going to though, for his vacation next month. "Scuppernong"...what an interesting word.

Nope, sorry Kady...you can tie me to a chair and feed me scuppernongs & mint juleps, whilst playing "your Cheatin' Heart' over & over again but I shan't tell.

Hmm, the scoring is off: Transplant Level. (You eat grits reluctantly and only if they're served to you, don't you?) I earned 23 points, and then earned 9 bonus points. And yet, the bonus points don't seem to play a part in scoring.

29 - lived in both SC and NC all my life but have never heard of a Catahoula Hog Dog! I LOVE grits, especially when served with shrimp (dinner only!) Scupppernongs and Muscadines are wonderful grapes with very aromatic smells, they also make a wonderful sweet desert wine. My granddaddy had a beautiful scuppernong grape arbor in his back yard and it was so cool under there in the hot summer time and the grapes were good eating!

15 - 19 Snowbird Level. (You put sugar on your grits, don't you?) Actually, I love grits (with a little butter and pepper...that's the way a Texan taught me!)

Hmph. I think I got 5 or 6, and those were pretty basic answers (like that a mint julep is a drink and the blue has something to do with pines). I knew grits but not exactly what they're made of and moss but not the specific name. I knew the tractor one though!

10 - 14 Tourist Level. (You don't like grits, do you?) Actually, I do like grits. Tried them for the first time in NC about 7 yrs ago. There are a few places you can find them in Michigan. (mostly truck stops!) But you can buy them in the grocery store! Yum - I eat them alot during winter mos.

I'm really going to have to try them one of these days, April. Funny how everybody likes something different on them. Are grits smooth like pancakes or are they 'gritty' and lumpy, like their name?

Rup, grits out of the bag are gritty but when cooked they turn thick and creamy. For breakfast, we like to add a little cheese after they are finished cooking, then some butter and crumbled up bacon. When your son comes South have him bring you a bag of grits home, make sure they are stone-ground. I will even send you my mother's recipe for shrimp and grits!
