Quotes:
Once in Georgia I was spoken to sharply by an elderly waitress who took the fact that I didn't want grits as evidence that I was probably a northern agitator of some kind. She even mentioned this damaging fact to a deputy sheriff who happened in. I think she hoped my dislike of grits would be cause for arrest, but the deputy just grinned. 'I guess it ain't a crime to hate grits,' he said.
