Bill: Hi, Marta. What did you dolast night?
Marta: I had dinner at my friend’s house. Her mother cooked.
Bill: Oh, really? What was on the menu?
Marta: It was a big meal. Let’s see . . . We had fried chicken, fried green tomatoes,grits, and... oh yes, Mississippi mud pie for dessert.
Bill: Fried tomatoes? Grits?
Marta: Yes. My friend’s mother is from the southern United States. It’s a typical southern menu.
Bill:Interesting! Did you like it?
Marta: Well, the chicken was delicious. Crispy on the outside and really juicy inside.
Bill: Sounds yummy! And the grits? What are grits, anyway?
Marta: Grits are made fromcrushed corn. They look something like oatmeal.
Bill: I’ve never had grits.
Marta: Well, typically they are very bland. But I added lots of butter so they had a strong. buttery flavor. They went wellwith the fried green tomatoes. Those were a little oily, but they were really good.
Bill: Did you enjoy the dessert?
Marta: Well, the Mississippi mud pie was tasty, but too sweet. I couldn’t finishit all.
