Two different things, Lindsay. Our grits is Corn.
We used to get cream of wheat now and again when I was little and sometimes I liked it. We ate it as a hot cereal and put milk and sugar on it. It never lasted me very long though. After a breakfast of cream of wheat I was good for about 2 hours at most. I'd sit in school and 'bout starve to death waiting for lunch.
Grits, on the other hand, I've found, sticks to the ribs. Perhaps it's the savory flavor rather than the sugar high that keeps you going. I doubt that it is the 2 eggs, 2 biscuits, 4 slices of bacon, piece of sausage, and quart of coffee that helps.
