I am with your husband, Guenevere. To me, grits are a savory food. Butter and salt at a minimum. Fried eggs and bacon, preferred. Adding sugar to grits is like Hawaiian “pizza”. Just plain wrong, though don’t tell me wife. She loves ‘em.

It is corn, twice humiliated. Butter and brown sugar make them a treat.

If you put enough butter, maple syrup / brown sugar, raisins / dried cranberries / dried fruit, nuts and creme on them they are edible but so is cardboard after all of that.

‘Grits, more tasteless than Oatmeal. Yuck...’
Not when you get done adding some kind of salt, something sweet, and some kind of fat. Then they’s just some smooth and creamy saltysweetfatty-GOOOD....Mmm, mm! Try adding some bacon and maple syrup—tastes just like smooth, creamy bacon and maple syrup!

Sorry, I'm from the Philly area but scrapple is made of the stuff they throw away when making hot dogs, and has the consistency of grey muck. This here northerner would rather have grits, and I don't like grits.
Of course nothing tops bacon.

>>>More tasteless than oatmeal? Better see a doctor; your tastebuds are dying<<<
LOL...
I also dislike SPAM, Beets, Lamb Chops, Beef Liver, Clams, Oysters, Raisins, Squash, Sushi, Venison and most Light Beers (especially Michelob Ultra). I’ll blame my Taste buds for that too.
DISCLAIMER: I LOVE BACON, well done of course.
Now I have horrified hundreds of FReepers. Oh my...
I think a lot of it has to do with the consistency of the Food.
My Mother said I was a picky eater. I guess she was right.

“I could be wrong, but growing up in the South, it was my understanding that grits, like many other southern dishes (corn bread, lard fried chicken, lard fried pretty much everything, etc) came out of the poor south having very little to feed itself with post civil war, and these recipes provided the minimal substance and nutrition.”
Bit off topic but my Mother always said that the Southern tradition of having Blackeyed peas, salt pork(jowl), cornbread and greens for New years day came from waking up poor in the South looking around and finding all that was left to eat at that point in the winter was, a few cups of dried Blackeyed peas, some almost rancid salt pork, cornmeal, and whatever scraggly, turnip, mustard or collards was left in the garden.
