I've lived my entire life in New England (except when the Department of Defense was my employer),had my first taste of “grits” at Fort Knox when I was 19 (and hated it) and can't even begin to understand NASCAR.However,one of my very favorite songs is “Heart Of The Night” by Poco and I have far more respect for the average resident of Georgia than I do for 99% of the residents of my home state.

Regular grits are an acquired taste unless you have a half a cow worth of butter in them. CHEESE grits on the other hand, especially with bacon bits, are just wonderful.

"...had my first taste of grits at Fort Knox when I was 19 (and hated it)..." Now hold on a minute...if all you've had are Army grits, you ain't had grits, my FRiend! Army cooks could ruin hot water soup, and I never had decent grits in any chow hall, in y 11 years in boots.
Also, if they were loaded up with sugar, syrup, or anything other than butter, salt and pepper (hot sauce or sawmill gravy are acceptable under certain circumstances), you didn't have grits. I saw many a Yankee over the years think because they look like cream of wheat, they were...big mistake.
Cracker Barrel has about the closest thing to decent grits of any national, cookie-cutter, chain restaurant, but they're hit and miss. Next time you're in the South, stop at a Mom n' Pop greasy spoon or a truck stop, and chances are you'll be able to find good grits.

GRITS (Girls Raised In The South); or ... grits the food, which is just another excuse to eat butter and salt.
Nothing taste better!
