QuoteGrits are ground corn. If they are prepared properly and you possess a fine honed taste for the elegant, your brain will reel with the succulence of the toasty tasting treat. While most Northerners, unaccustomed to the richness of southern cooking, look upon Grits with disdain, a true Southerner will try to keep his tongue from slapping him to death when presented with a large helping on a platter with with fried eggs and country cured ham.

Take note that properly spoken of, "Grits are" not "Grits Is".

Absolutely the best- grits, fried eggs, country ham. The grits are the perfect couterpoint to the deep complex (and SALTY!) taste of redeye gravy. It's BECAUSE of what might be termed their blandness- it's not really, but it takes on a true dimension when the red-eye and ham are added. Then you know what your tongue is talking about. lw

3. G R I T S with just butter on it is also great with pan fried fish and hushpuppies.

Hey Charlie,
Down this way hushpuppies are a type of shoe! I think I'll pass on that one!

I would rather eat my shoe than a bowl of GRITS.

Around these parts we feed ground corn to the steers. Then eat the steers. So I guess we are GRITS eaters, indirectly ;D ;D ;D

I'm with KiwiCharlie

What are hushpuppies up there?

Fla._Deadheader · February 18, 2005, 02:02:49 PM

Hushpuppies are little balls of seasoned and deep fried cornmeal. Make 'em right and they are a meal by themselves. ;) ;D ;D

Ban potatoes for breakfast up here and you will be stood against the wall with a last choice of cigarette :D Diced and fried with skin on, chives or chopped onion, and garlic. Somehow yukstuff does not have the same appeal.
