    Some people here in UK eat cows tongue ! Eeeeeeugh

    A lot of Mexican restaurants make tacos out of them. When I go to Chicago I always bring one back. It's easy to cook and delicious.

    We used to visit Hermosillo Mex all the time and they always served fried intestines.

    Some of us may or may not put a spoonful of sour cream on our chili.

    A couple of people here do this really atrocious thing like putting ketchup on macaroni & cheese. I DO NOT do that ... I'm not weird that way.

    Oh the grits. Sweet tea is huge here.

    I live in a small area of the South where we put sugar in our grits. From the best I can tell, this seems to be isolated to Northern Georgia.

    Yep, sugar in the grits. If no sugar, then cheese.

    You haven’t lived until you had this (not regional )

    I can't think of anything odd in BC, however, some might think poutine is strange.

    I've never had grits. Someone said the texture is like Cream of Wheat. (Is that right?) Because i'd probably hate grits because I could never stomach Cream of Wheat. Also, wasn't Malt-o-
    Meal almost the same as Cream of Wheat?

    *Gag*

    breakfast in Honolulu..... pineapple pancakes ( and yes, they are low calorie and non-fat )

    I know, those are strawberries, not pineapple; it's the same concept.
    trust me on this one.

    Here in Maine, people eat pickled wrinkles (whelks). I don't, because I'm allergic to shellfish, but it's definitely a thing.
    Another delicacy I can't eat: the tomalley or tamale of a lobster (basically, its liver. It's green and nasty.)
    In some parts of Maine, we're close enough to Canada to get poutine (gravy cheese fries).

    Pretty much, grits are slightly larger and not quite as small and soupy. Its just corn, nothing gross about them, but I get that textures of some things bother people.

    Yes, born and raised.

    One thing I always hated as a kid was butter and syrup with biscuits. Its just butter mashed up into pancake syrup and eaten with biscuits :s

    The texture of grits is what turns me off about it too. The taste is fine and I'll eat it, but it isn't my first choice of side dish.
