‘Polenta on the Board’ with spicy tomato sauce and mushrooms is a favorite.

quote=gophergunner] I always cook them down to get the excess water out of them. My dad taught me to to eat them with eggs. Eggs over easy with buttered grits. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all up and enjoy. That's how I eat em too.

Corn mush is great. Polenta not so much for my taste anyway. being part slovak, i grew up with polenta, which is probaby the reason i hated it for years, same for that baby throwup grits. probably hated grits cause it reminded me of polenta. last time for grits was in doerun, georgia, outside of mouldrie, georgia about 30 years ago. Truely think it is one of the reasons why the south lost the war.

One of the few things we had to eat out in the field sometimes for breakfast. Tasted like cream of wheat with sand in it.
Couldn't believe guys would put ketchup on them in the morning, tobasco I could understand to kill the taste

I was oblivious to grits until I was well into adulthood. Nobody around Cincinnati served them. After meeting KYHillChick, we frequented Waffle House when we were on the road. I became enamored of grits, and have been eating them ever since.
One of the family's funniest moments came when little Angus was a baby. We were driving S-I75 going down to the TN line to visit 'HillChick's kin, and we stopped at a Waffle House. For several exits before, we'd been talking up grits to Lil Angus. He was all excited. He was going to get grits for the first time. He was too young to talk, but you could see the gleam in his eyes.
We went into Waffle House and ordered. The meal came. We put a bowl of grits in front of him, and 'HillChick put a spoonful of it in his mouth. The look of extreme disappointment was priceless. It was as though all the joy of Life suddenly left him. I don't think he ever trusted us fully after that.
'HillChick is from the KY/TN line. She can't stand them. I'm a Cincy Krauthead, and I love them. Go figure.

So there is corn grits and hominy grits? Yes. Corn grits are just ground corn. Usually a coarser grind than corn meal. Depending on the grind they can take 20 mins to over an hour to cook. Hominy grits are just ground dried hominy and are also referred to as quick grits and they cook in about 5 minutes. Then there are instant grits which are not good at all.

Tried this for breakfast today, it was very good. I'm going to order some better grits(as a rule I don't care for "instant" foods, but instant grits seem to work best in my beer mash) and save the Quaker ones for cream ale.

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.

Grits are as common as cereal down here. Salt, pepper, and butter, thats all.
