It's not heavily battered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-5771869279035424222007-10-15T21:56:00.000-05:002007-10-15T21:56:00.000-05:00Hi Sheila!

But in my research, I discovered the founder or creator or whatever you call the person who thinks up a recipe was an Asian fellow. Apparently, the version now being served has deviated from his original one.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-77504799972009551702007-08-07T13:34:00.000-05:002007-08-07T13:34:00.000-05:00Hi Shiela!

I think it must be a distinctly American thing. Well, if it's not, write me and tell me so any other international readers. I think of President Bush and his fondness for nicknames for people. We won't soon forget "Brownie." We all seem to do it here. I came across a nickname for the Prez the other day--Shrub. Oh well.<BR/><BR/>Don,<BR/>Thank you for a lovely poem at the end of a tiring day of driving. So few words--yes, you are right. I, and others like me, rattle on and say much less. It's a goal for the coming year--make the words count.<BR/><BR/>Sarge,<BR/>I know they got grits where you are.<BR/><BR/>Dana,<BR/>I do remember buying grits when I lived in Glen Ellyn. They weren't the instant kind either, which I don't consider authenic.

It's like how you call New Orleans "The big easy" and Los Angeles "City of Angels" - not sure what that means! We don't really do that here in England. The cashew chicken sounds delicious Sheila.

I think I got a bastardization of the dish.
