Food "things" that you have learned as new or possible?

[rbstern]

You really can't appreciate good fresh eggs until you've eaten powdered, milsurp eggs. At one of my schools (in the 1970's) we were convinced the "eggs" had to be either Korean War or WWII surplus.

That reminded me of the M*A*S*H episode where one of the characters manages to procure a rare, fresh egg, and the long discussions of how it should be cooked.

Lima beans always create a stir

At breakfast one morning last week, my girlfriend tells her son, "Your grits are on the stove ready but I think I put too much butter in them."

I was stunned into near silence and could only mutter weakly, "Wait, TOO much butter in grits? That's a thing?!?!? UNPOSSIBLE!"

I've heard of (and witnessed) all sorts of things that people do to grits but this "too much butter" thing was completely new to me. Anything else y'all have seen or heard when it comes to food that you never thought pospossibleso,s

So, we at least know your GF is not Paula Deen.

I have learned in my older age that if food touches.... it will NOT kill you.

But it can ruin the aesthetics of a properly prepared plate.

Correct, collards always in a separate bowl. I don't want anything ruining my collard eating..

My son in law goes to breakfast with us and orders Eggs, Bacon and hash browns. After it arrives he pours maple syrup over the entire mess thick and gobbles it down, adding sweet tea to help with the process!
Diabetics nightmare!!
Also, he is from Alabama, and hates grits!! Go figure!!

And I always tell the servers at FGT, "Leave the goodness in the compartment when putting the collards in it. DO NOT shake the pot liquor out of the greens! I need it for the cornbread!"
