I have never had grits. I have had mutton stew and frybread for breakfast which is akin to having grits.

Nope, I a born and bred yankee.

Although my girlfriend's family is from Alabama originally, that explains it.

I think my mother made cream of wheat for us when I was a kid. I don't recall liking it.

Cornbread is best with a big plate of blackeye peas and rice smothered in Frank's Red Hot sauce.

Wrong, so wrong. Moonpies go with RC cola.

I’m sure I can let you borrow a pound or so. I know it is a staple in this house. Between my husband, myself and my kids, we go through a five pound bag a week.

Perfect fatboy breakfast .......

Two eggs, fried over easy, two spicy pork sausage patties, one biscuit, split, and covered with sawmill gravy, and grits, buttered. Grab your fork and start slicing and splicing everything until you have a jumbled mess on your plate. Eat and enjoy.

I don't want to see anyone trash-talking grits on this thread...

Mmmmm....fried grits! Oh man...you pour your grits into a small bread pan and let em cool....then slice em up and fry em in grease from a good country ham. I'll be back. I have to get a snack NOW!

Grits are the best. :-)

Oh yeah, and you are right about the clumping. When you add the grits to boiling water, you have to stir until it is all broken up, then let it simmer and stir frequently. No clumping!

I add bacon grease to my grits while they’re cooking. Then you add some cheddar cheese, a pinch of salt and a couple of pats of butter.

I love my grits!!!

Thanks for posting.

Grits are delicous. I like them with butter, salt and pepper. Is that blasphemy?

Fresh caught creek shrimp cooked in butter with garlic and green onions on top of hot grits with Crystal Hot Sauce. That’s how I like my grits.
