You don't know what Leo *grew up* having available; he lives in
Nevada.  Perhaps canned shrimp was all his mother could find.

I grew up in a small town near Toronto in the 50s. The only shrimp we
ever knew back then were those tiny things that came in cans.  Into
the 60s we could get frozen battered shrimp. In the 70s we could get
frozen shrimp in bags but they were ungodly expensive.

Grin, the classic shrimp-n-grits wasn't on the menu then I take it.

Shrimp and grits is not a classic in the north.  Until recently,
the only place I ever saw grits (besides the Quaker instant grits
on the grocery store shelf) was a hillbilly diner.

I thought the shrimp and grits stuff was mostly from new orleans, maybe
other gulf coast places. But maybe I'm wrong.

 Credit the Food Network.  People started seeing shrimp and grits
on tv shows and restaurants started serving it.  We've got a few
places up here that serve it.  They're all relatively pricy
places.  Prices range $20, $22, $28.65.
 I see one place has grits with a bunch of vegetables and cheese
on top for $26.  A little something for the vegetarians.
 

Is this so different from the shrimp lo mein I can get for $8?  Never really caught on to grits even though my grandmother tried to get me to like them.  Oatmeal & malt o meal are pretty good...
