Yay!!! That would be so fun!!If you come down this way we have a nice guest room. You would bring a built-in excuse to go up there
<ahem> Don't lump me in with that crowd!!!! I am a connoisseur of a good scone, thank you very much.
That will be because you have British friends
I would not be surprised if you also knew ‘High Tea’
Ah yes, that quaint Northerner tradition
Finally! I found an explanation of the similar/different of grits and polenta
Corny yummy-ness in a bowl. Even yummier the next day, fried. Mmmmmm...........
On a similar subject, you have something called 'grits' don't you and it doesn't matter how many times someone tries to explain what they are, I still can't fathom it !
Polenta is yellow grits with an attitude.I wonder if that’s what we call polenta. It can be a bit ‘gritty’, depending how you prepare it. Also mushy.
Thanks for this info.
I was losing sleep over the conundrum. I’ve never had grits, and now I read about it, I’m not really sorry because it just sounds like mush.
Actually, I was "scone informed" even before knowing my lovely Brit friends, and yes indeed a huge fan of High Tea (in my '20s/'30s no less).That will be because you have British friends
I've been to pretty much every High Tea in New York City (usually the big hotels have them, Waldorf, Pierre, etc), plus Victoria, BC Canada (that one was sooooo lovely).
Ooooooooo... I've never tried that!! Sounds deelish.
Now I'm hungry....
Yes, we did that, too!
Up in Mentone, Alabama there is the Wildflower Cafe where one can enjoy Polenta and Shrimp. Totally delicious. They also make a baked tomato pie that is to die forhttp://www.mentonewildflower.com/
Inspired by you Jeffrey, I made a baked tomato pie. I wasn’t sure what it would be like because there’s cheddar, mozarella and mayonnaise
in the topping. But it’s delish! I didn’t use pastry as the base, but sliced potato. Then tomatoes that had been salted and left to drip, basil and spring onions chopped and then the cheesy mayonnaisey mix and Bob’s your jolly old!

It was, although you don’t need huge amounts of it at once. One has to take pity on one’s arteries.
