• Carolina Plantation Grits: stay away from "Magic Grits", or Anson Mills:

  Vinny: How could it take you five minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes? [ed: we all know it should take 50-70.]
  Mr. Tipton: Um... I'm a fast cook, I guess.
  Vinny: [across beside the jury] What? I'm sorry I was over there. Did you just say you were a fast cook? Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than any place on the face of the earth?
  Mr. Tipton: I don't know.
  Vinny: Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?
