What's lacrosse? I know this is a food thread but I've always wanted to know.

in england it's typically played in all-girls private schools...
basically a game where you have a lacrosse stick (a stick with a net) and in very very basic terms, you run and throw and catch the ball between each other- you catch and throw with the lacrosse stick.

Oh ok I thought it was American. Perhaps it diff in America. So i guess it's all about how many times you get the ball into the goals.

^lacrosse is a sport "invented" by the Native Americans. it involves players who, carrying a stick with a small netted pocket at the end, catch and throw a ball into the opposing team's goal. objective is to score the most goals. the sport is still rather regional in america, mainly popular on the east coast, particularly in the northeast. i'm from an area where it's pretty popular and having seen it played at a high level, i think it's a great sport requiring finesse as well as brute force. unfortunately i could never play because it's played the same season as baseball.
it's still relatively unknown in the states. a baseball team from california came to the east coast to play in a tournament that i was playing in and a lacrosse team was practicing nearby and the californians had no idea what the sport was. they were fascinated.
as for grits, vittles and chitlins, that truly is some good ol' american southern food. i'm from virginia and standard breakfast includes grits (which i add a little butter and tabasco to) with biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes and hash browns. does a growing boy good!

I liked corn bread when I had it. You can't get it much over here, I had it at a place called Boston Markets, which no longer exists.

^ what kind of 'gravy' is that on the biscuits?? whatever - it looks good! Something tells me if I lived in America I'd double in size. A guy I work with (from US) paid £20 for a box of 'Crispy creme' donuts (are those American?) when we were in central London.
