I've got a similar story from when I went to Niagara Falls and went to Denny's for an American breakfast experience

Posted by Roger More (aka RogerMore) Dec 17 '09, 12:50

I picked out an enormous breakfast, and the options for the sides were, I don't know, hash browns, home fries and grits. I've never had grits, so decided to try them. The following discussion ensued

"Would you like hash browns, home fries or grits?"
"Grits please."
"... you want the grits?"
"Yes please"
"Are you sure?" *looks at me funny*
"... Maybe I'll have the hash browns."

I only like grits with scrambled eggs mixed in. -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 12:54
You got the doubletake becuase you don't have a drawl :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 12:53
the problem here is not the grits, but that you're ordering them from Denny's. :) -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 12:53
~puttin' on the grits~ -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 12:51
heh. grits are mad yummy, but i don't know if Canadian grits would be the best version. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 12:51 3
- In this case it was more chain grits than Canadian grits -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 12:52 1
  - we actually always have a canister of instant grits in the cabinet. not quite the same, but yummy enough. -- nm - TFox Dec 17, 12:54
- *sprinkles sand on your food* gritty enough? -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 12:52
Good choice. :) -- nm - kelly Dec 17, 12:51
I actually like grits. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 12:51 13
- I got the impression that even if you like grits, you really didn't want to have these particular grits -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 12:51 11
  - well, it was Dennys. General good sense says you don't want to eat at dennys at all, anyway. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 12:52 10

    - For me, it's like going to IHOP or Outback Steakhouse. I have to go, at least once - Roger More Dec 17, 12:54 7
      - Did it feel like Australian blackface? -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 13:11 1
        
        It was surprisingly mundane. The equivalent would be putting a moosehead and some native American art on the walls, putting a random Canadian place - Roger More Dec 17, 13:16
      - IHOP and Dennys, while similar in concept, aren't (in my book) in the same ballpark as far as quality. - Beryllium Dec 17, 13:07 3
        
        re-reading your post I'm not sure which one you think is worse -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 13:10 2
        
        I had a bad experience at Dennys. Over-greasy/over-watery (I couldn't tell which) Moons Over My Hammy. It was barf-worthy. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 13:13 1
        
        The missus has pre-emptively refused to come to IHOP with me, when I go -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 13:18
      - bloomin onions are awesome -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 12:55
- I have never had grits, I don't think ... but I guess I'd try them, based on the description I read once. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 12:51
