It ain't great. The shit plane ride itself isn't even the worst part of flying. The airports themselves are awful. Then when you finally make it to your gate 2 hours after walking through the door and being forced to get naked and have fists put up your ass, you have to sit in these seats that face the slobs you're going to be flying with. You just sit there staring at each other awkwardly waiting to be corralled into the transport tube. All for the low, non refundable under any circumstance price of $800.

I do the same thing now if I have the choice. It's really relaxing and a good experience, getting to see all the changing landscapes and cultures over long distances. Just you and the GPS lady voice cruising and listening to podcasts/radio shows then you camp in the back seat at night to sleep. Much less stressful than flying and cheaper too.

They're sustenance, and that's largely why we regard them as a breakfast food. There are more calorie-dense foodstuffs, but grits are mostly a tradition upheld by the elderly these days. That said, I like them because they're cheap due to the lack of demand.

>> No.11486881

>>11486867

Realistically, there's no official or correct consistency to grits. It comes down to the preference of the person making it, or the person who's going to be eating it, if they're not one and the same. I like mine to be barely thick enough to hold a shape, and there are some heretics who seem to think that corn-flavored water with a few scant clumps of corn dust is an acceptable thing to do in civilized society.

I'd recommend picking some up and trying a few different styles for yourself. The worst that can happen is that you realize that Americans did weird things during the Dust Bowl era of our history, and our cooking still reflects that.-

If you find yourself with some cheese to spare and extra grits after your experiments, consider making cheese grits. You'll probably be sick of straight corn grits before you run out of them, so it'll shake things up just enough to keep you from hating them forever.

Yea, you obviously don't fly...ever.
I went to Chicago for St. Patrick's Day, roundrip $80, $110/night for 5 star hotel, and wined and dined my way through the city for the weekend..just for fun.
I like Icelandair, just so I can intentionally stop in Blue Lagoon to/from USA and Europe. $80 and a layover of a few hours just for a massage, mud mask, and arctic air hitting my face, as I keep my shoulders under the water.
