I need to know the proper way to eat grits.
Isn’t it more a matter of what with, or with what to put on them?
Up in Washington St we don’t really know what to do with them.
Like for instance,if you serve biscuits with bacon gravy would you eat grits with it?

Make them with milk instead of water and cook them for a good, long time. Very smooth and creamy. You can’t go wrong with basic butter, salt and pepper. Gravy on grits is fine, cheese on grits is fine. Crumbling bacon into grits is fine. Even shrimp, shrimp and grits is a traditional southern low country dish. Some want to treat them like oatmeal, putting sugar on them. That, I’ve never understood. It helps some people, from the northeast primarily, to view grits as a coarse ground variety of polenta. That opens up a lot of possibilities.

In my travels through the South, I was always amused to find fast food joints with "Now Frying" signs.
During one of my business trips to Nawlins, I was getting overwhelmed by the rich foods. So for a lunch, I decided to order a salad garnished with chicken breast. Should be nice and lean, right? The salad came, but right on top was the biggest piece of fried chicken I had ever seen. Yowza!
