It is funny how you grow up eating something, find it very tasty and normal, yet folks new to the area turn their noses up to it. What regional dishes did you grow up with that transplants turn their noses up too, and you don't understand why?
For me it is Blue Corn Mush. Basically Navajo Grits. I'm not Navajo but grew up on the reservation and, with a little honey and a dash of salt, this stuff rocks. People who move here can't stand it. Even southerners who grew up with and really like grits. I suppose it is the Juniper ash.
Now that I made the comparison I wonder what Blue Corn Mush and Shrimp would taste like?
This young lady does a pretty good explanation of the process.
