Alt: Has anyone ever had 'grits' ? or what else can you get in Murica that you (probably sensibly) can't get over here?
Alt2: Where's Perry?

	Nah, I dunno about that. All floppy and chewy. Might as well have some gammon or ham. I think the concept of 'bacon' has to have at some crisp to it. The high temperatures change the flavours.
