<< Meridian is my dad's hometown. >> My dad is from Quitman, which is near Meridian. But he moved from Mississippi to Texas in 1929 when he was 19. In '67 he and I drove to Mississippi for a relative's funeral. We stayed in Meridian and it was at that time that some of the family got together at the fish fry. I don't think I discovered grits until I was grown and away from my South Texas homeplace. Same for pizza. We did have one of the original Whataburger hamburger stands in the '50s -- great hamburger for 35 cents in those days. As for grits, I like them -- it's usually a toss-up when deciding between grits and hash-brown potatoes. For equal time, my mother is from Cross Plains, Texas. So I'm half Mississippi and half West Texas.
