I grew up in the Philadelphia area and I ate grits many times as a kid since my parents made it at home ...even though they emigrated here from Hungary, I guess something like grits was common there, too. I like it, as a kid I put sugar and cinammon on it. Now I put all sorts of stuff on it, either sweet or not; last week I had it with salt, pepper, good olive oil and hot sauce.
I like ocra, but didn't eat it until I was an adult and cooking for myself. I knew the word "ocra" and when I saw it in the market, I bought it to try. Basically, if I see something new in the market, I buy it to eat ...that's my "see food" diet. I eat ocra steamed and cook it into stewish things, and of course I love it fried too.
Boiled peanuts I first had about ten years ago since the guy who owns the company I work for is from Texas and he turned me on to it.
