It's probably were the expression getting your oats comes from.

Many (most?) people squeeze a bit of ketchup on top of the meatloaf before cooking it, so I guess it's OK to put it on after it's cooked, too. That's what I do if there's no gravy. But how can anyone serve meatloaf without mashed potatoes and gravy?

It was a catchphrase used by Flo on the sitcom "Alice" which aired here in the 70s and 80s.

I think I know some ketchup fanatics who would. Grits taste like cardboard to me, unless they're well seasoned. I sometimes think that no one really likes grits, they just eat them to keep a Southern tradition alive. Blasphemy, I know.

I truly like them and will go out of my way to order them if the restaurant looks like they "know" grits.
Grits and polenta are just about the same thing and are mostly tasteless until seasoned. I've had some killer cheese grits in various southern restaurants.
Yeah, cheese grits are good. Most things are good with cheese though.
If I do get them, its usually from somewhere greasy with questionable food standards. That way I know they'll be done right.
What the f**k are grits?
I thought this was something to do with Derek and Clive - i.e. "Shit a grit!"
And why does my laptop keep making me sign-in and lose all those green arrows?

That looks like porridge.
Yeah its kind of similar... more grainy, and corn based rather than oats. And usually you add things to make it more salty, instead of sweet. Nothing exciting, except that it can blow up ants apparently.

The Irish can be blamed for a lot. None of it good.

Any chance you're forgetting to tick the box to keep you signed in? If not, might be worth cleaning cookies etc, temporary internet files, and giving the machine a bit of a clean.

Foul stuff.
If they've been making it since 1759, it's about time they got it approximately right !
