Southern Dopers, I need help with grits

I’ve had shrimp and grits at a wedding. The shrimp was, I think, in a sauce (and I cannot remember for the life of me). The grits were triangular wedges, deep fried to a crisp brown, like potato patties.

This would not be the classic grits and shrimp beloved in the low country of South Carolina.

Shrimp and Grits is a pretty established staple from Virginia to Mississippi. Some places call it Shrimp Grits, though that’s a lot less common these days.

Re Tony the Tiger.

A few years back, before I ran the DeathPool, I got points as a player for the guy who was the voice of Tony from the time he first appeared, to just a few years before his death.

His name was Thurl Ravenscroft. Don’t know why he wasn’t big onscreen, the guy not only had a great voice but looked good too!

You will have heard him doing “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

He also sang the “No Dogs Allowed” song in the movie Snoopy Come Home. And whenever Disney needed a bass for an animated musical, he was the go-to guy.
