Crawdads and grits is fine, too!..............
Hi again.
Grits are cooked a number of ways. Grits are prepared a number of ways. I like most all of them.
Okay, since you asked, no sugar, syrup,honey or milk.

***They’re made from dried, ground corn (Maize) ***
In the USA, corn and maize are two different things.
Corn is the “corn” we buy in the store and grow in the garden.
Maize is more of a sorghum cane whose seeds are used in catte feed and bird seed.
If you watch the But Lancaster movie APACHE, he gets some corn seeds from the tribes of the Tahlequah. This is real corn. But when it is gone, his wife gets some corn seed to plant in which the crop that comes up is really “Maize” or sorghum cane.
I’ve had grits just about every which away you can have them. I like them all!......................
One of my favorite movies!!
The very ACME of a southern breakfast must include cat-head biscuits and Cane Syrup.
I know. In Europe they call what we call ‘corn’ ‘maize’............
Grits is a staple of the South
My husband has them every Sunday after church......diners and restaurants serve them here
I like mine with sugar......my husband smushes his eggs over easy into his grits and adds pepper
My eggs are over medium, but otherwise exactly how I eat mine! Yum!
I call grits “southern polenta”
Don’t care for either of them.
I like my sweet grits and I’m Southern to the core!
More tasteless than oatmeal? Better see a doctor; your tastebuds are dying
Don’t worry, leftards will get to it. The white man changed the name; its another symptom of our racist hegemony; and it will be renamed to maize.
Maize-fed beef just doesn’t have the same ring to it though.
As a transplanted Yankee, I was amused when I interviewed for my job in the Deep South and was taken out for breakfast; part of what my interviewers were looking at was my reaction to grits (I did better than Vinnie).
It didn’t take me too long to realize grits are not food, they are a matrix for food - sometimes simple stuff like redeye gravy, or just butter, salt and pepper, or more elaborate things, like cheese or shrimp. I now do mine with sautéed onion and green pepper, which I would recommend veteran grits afficiandos take a shot at.
To answer the question on whether or not grits are good for you, one must 1st ask this question;
Are they tasty?
If the answer is yes, then they are obviously dangerous to your health.
***I now do mine with sautéed onion and green pepper, which I would recommend veteran grits afficiandos take a shot at.***
I think that’s a fine idea, I’ll try that version next time. Any particular choice of meat that you’d recommend?
Grits sweetened with butter and a big glop of sorghum molasses makes any meal a banquet.
Plain grits with no additives at all are rather bland and tasteless. Like a canvas before the artist paints the masterpiece!
So, they must be healthy!...........................
Grits with either redeye gravy or cheese.
“I say they are a lot like Cream of Wheat but with less taste.”
That was my impression. I can see why many smother them in butter.
