COLUMBIA, S.C. _ Good things take time.

And so it is with grits.

All good Southern cooks know that the best grits are those cooked slowly.

The time-honored tradition will be celebrated Oct. 24-28, when grits stone-ground by Anson Mills of Columbia arrived in Turin, Italy, to be part of the prestigious Slow Foods' Salone del Gusto, or Hall of Taste.

A vast marketplace with "only the very best food" is set up in a former Fiat auto factory in the urban center of northwestern Italy.

For four days, international food lovers and culinary experts _ as many as 150,000 were expected _ made their way through exhibits, learning, tasting and filling their baskets with the finest foods in the world.

"You see whole families who come with their big grocery bags to do their shopping," said Erika Lesser, Slow Foods USA director of programming. "It's not like a fancy food show with hokey candy and a new way to inject barbecue. There's none of that."
