Abstract:

Southerners can't live without them. Northerners wonder “What is that disgusting stuff?” It's grits, a dish ingrained in North Carolina's culinary heritage. Kerr discusses the appeal of this delicacy and two mills still producing it, the Dellinger Grist Mill, built in 1867 in Hawk, and The Old Mill of Guilford, established in 1767 in Oak Ridge. Both mills are on the National Register of Historic Places.
