You could eat 'em damyankee style with milk and sugar, but don't try that south of Kentucky! A good friend in Tallahassee Florida was grinding grits from heirloom white dent corn grown in the northeast Georgia mountains from seed stock that hasn't been hybridized - - - - -same stuff they've grown there for over 200 years. He also used the same corn to brew up some of the best corn likker I've ever had. Unfortunately, he passed away back in December. Google "Bumpy Road Farm" in Tallahassee to see if they're still in business, but be aware that once you try those grits you'll be spoiled for life for any other kind!

I believe that all Bibles down that way state that the manna that came down from Heaven was actually grits.
