Grits are part of my favorite breakfast. Add 3 or 4 slices of bacon chopped into 1/4" pieces, couple of soft fried eggs and a chunk of butter......mix and eat!!
I had never had grits until I joined the military. At my first duty station my best friend introduced me to them at a friends house and this is how they made it. One of the best things I ever ate and I still eat them this way to this day.
My grandmother introduced me to it when I was a kid visiting her in Virginia, where she lived most of her life, though she was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. But she always called it mush. I loved it, and made her make it for me whenever I visited thereafter. She just cooked it with salt, and put butter on it. Nothing else.
