Ha! I have been craving some rutabaga lately. When it cools off enough to start cooking soups and stews I will be buying them every week. It is funny that most of the young grocery store checkers don't know what they are.

I felt the same way about grits until I tasted my sister's mother-in-law's garlic cheese grits. After that I learned to make a delicious shrimp and grits dish. Now I love grits, but only in those two recipes. Otherwise, I find them too bland and um, gritty.

I have had grits - they were served as a breakfast item. They are okay with butter, sugar and a little milk.
I can imagine other options like you mentioned - kind of like a Polenta.
Funny thing before the term Polenta became fashionable in the USA, there was something called "cornmeal mush" - a breakfast item served with a little bit of sugar, butter and milk on top.

Reminds me of an experience in a Cleveland grocery store a few years ago.
I saw a 2# stick of corn meal mush for $0.99. Later down the aisle, there is a 12 oz tube of polenta for $2.29.
The mush worked well as a substitute for polenta. No kidding as it had the same ingredients.

I have never had processed corn meal mush and didn't know that there was such a thing. All the mush that I have had was made from scratch - basically, cornmeal boiled.
It doesn't surprise me at all - take a quick and easy dish and put a title on it and all of a sudden the price jumps up.
Risotto = rice that is overcooked slightly with other ingredients added.
Conch fritters because they look so good and if I am not mistaken they are a delicacy and taste delicious. I would not be opposed to trying snails (escargot)
Rocky Mountain oysters
Geoduck
Chitlins
Chicken feet
Cow's feet
Poi
Rutabagas
Durians
Red Bull
