I like me some grits! Did not see anyone mention sausage gravy on 'em, yumm.
Grits and gravy together is a lot of carbs.
Yep. I've been back on a low carb diet for about a month now and some bastage had to bring up grits!
Obviously, (hopefully) I kid Cowboy Tim.
To my great surprise however, grits have a little bit less carbs than old fashioned oatmeal per serving......according to the calorie stuff online I just looked at anyway. Problem is at least for me, grits taste so good that I want 2nds. Maybe 3rds. Never had that issue with oatmeal as I always had to take it like medicine....but to be fair I never used oats the same way....as a blank palate on which to add something else.
I've eaten them with eggs, cheese, shrimp, gravy, they are even good to me with just butter, salt, and pepper. To me, a fish fry is not legit without a big pot of grits. You won't believe it but liver pudding, another old time Southern delicacy is also crazy good with them.
