That's just wacky! You’ve eaten head cheese, but you’ve never had a root beer float? That’s just wacky!

But I would say, as a Southerner, grits and polenta are not the same -- same starting point, yes, but vastly different applications, taste-wise. Cheese grits with very runny poached eggs (I think I just figured out what I'm having for dinner), shrimp and grits, grits and fried apples, grits with sausage gravy, all very uniquely Southern. It would be a bit like saying that linguine and udon were the same! Can you tell I loves me some grits? ;) What a hoot!

Go ahead, give it a shot! I can't believe I have eaten and enjoyed the one thing on your cross-off list. Even if you hate root beer, root beer floats are good. Go ahead, give it a shot!

Does that make me un-American or something? Seriously, I have tried, the last place I lived in Michigan was just a short distance from an old-fashioned A&W restaurant with carhops on rollerskates and everything... I suppose I'll just have to keep trying, though. :) All right, I have to confess: I’ve never had a root beer float because I can’t STAND the smell of root beer!

I have to agree with the others that there's nothing like a good root beer float, please go out and have one right away. This was way too much fun – I had to try it on my blog.

You've never had a root beer float? They're best if you can get them served car side, by a real car hop! ;-) What?! You’ve never had a root beer float?
