Would I serve it with honey? Salt? Steak sauce?

3. With marinara
and it's called polenta when you eat it that way.

(But don't buy it if it's called polenta on the package--they'll charge you three times as much as they will for grits.)

5. Butter
Most folks put salt on grits; me, I like a bit o' sugar and maybe some cinnamon.

Cheese is popular too. And some folks use gravy.



Mmmm... grits. :9

A single grit is pretty small.

7. One grit..tweezers
A mess of grits... melt butter, cover liberally with salt and pepper.

OR melt cheddar in them.

10. There's good grits and there's bad grits
The only grits I ever enjoyed were at Cracker Barrel, alas, and I rarely patronize those homophobic assholes. But if you can get to one, just order a small side of grits so you can see what they're supposed to taste like. They're damned good.

13. I'm with you and TallahasseeGranny!
As you describe, grits are the shiznit! Exactly how I like 'em. Unfortunately I live in NYC, and grits aren't usually to be found at any breakfast place. More's the pity!
