Storm here, in the deep south of north Georgia! We LOVE grits. They are ground corn, pretty much. The box says, " specially processed degerminated white corn " . I guess it's a secret how the process them....LOL! They look like Cream of Wheat, but don't taste anything like them. Hmmmmmmmmmm....think I'll go make myself a bowl now. My personal preference: butter, salt & pepper. Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits are a ground hominy. They are very versatile but usually served at breakfast with butter or a more Southern thing would be Red Eye Gravy (made from browning ham and then adding strong coffee basically) In So. C. they serve shrimp and grits for dinner. As I said before we eat them made with milk and lots of butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Have to ask, what are/is grits? Living in the uk means i don't know what a lot of american things are, so forgive me for asking. I have heard of it before, but only from american fims. I have to say though, even though i don't know what it is, i would still associate it with Alabama (i obviously watch too many films!), Laura (uk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 I guess the jury has to still be out then. The " grits " I had were instant, so I have never had real grits before according to your post. *lol* If I ever get down to Tuscalusa (sp) on a business trip, then I will have to try the real thing. ~ P_T ~ Solitude, though it may be silent as light, is like light, the mightiest of agencies; for solitude is essential to man.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Ahhhh...Red Eye gravy, I was a HUGE fan when I was a carnivore. Not only for ham steaks but for smothered pork chops. EW gross! I can't believe I used to eat that. I need to try to make that gravy w/o the ham drippings, I wonder if they'll ever make a veggie ham flavored stock.(?)

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Love 'em. I nuke mine. I use regular grits (not instant)and cook it in the bowl. 3 T grits 2/3 C water Salt to taste nuke on high for 3 minutes and stir. I add fake butter to mine. nuke=microwave For Oatmeal I put 1/2 C oats 1 c water salt to taste nuke for 3 minutes on high. I like mine with cinnamon and fake butter. The best part......no sticky pot to wash. Just cook it in the bowl you'll be eating from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
