The only time I had ever heard of grits was in reference to southern cooking/foods. I've seen instant grits available at hotels at breakfast but I'd never tried them...my kids did but said they weren't that great. I know they on every menu in the south but way up here in the north grits just aren't common at all.

I've never eaten fried green tomatoes, collard greens, succotash, hush puppies or chow chow before but I am pretty sure we eat stuff in my neck of the woods that others have probably never had either such as wild rice, Swedish meatballs, lefse, lutefisk, Juicy Lucys or tator tot hotdish.
