Even if there isn't in my neighborhood store, there will be elsewhere, I can ask around. So, if it's available in *your* local supermarket (or equivilant), I'm interested.
Really, we've got the weirdest stuff in our local stores. Jenn's corner stores (two of them) sell fresh ginger, extracts, dates... and Quaker Oats Instant Grits. In packets. With flavorings.
Why is it that oatmeal gets sweet flavorings, various types of fruits, but grits gets savory ones, butter, bacon, and cheese? There's nothing inherantly "can't be savory" about oatmeal - look at haggis! And I doubt grits Must Not Be Near Sweet Things Ever, so... what gives?
