When served I put some half/half cream on them...not good, put some honey on...better, mixed in some raisins...very good. The only complaint was there was no lumps in the bowl of grits, which is what I like in a bowl of Cream of Wheat.

Can a northern boy make a good bowl of grits?
It's easy. Buy a package of it and follow the instructions, but I always just put salt and butter in mine, then serve them under my lightly fried eggs.
