Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Grits- How do you like them?

Butter, bacon crumbled in the grits and a runny yoked fried egg on top.

I grew up on grits. They are especially good when cooked in chicken stock when they are to be served with bacon or ham. Fish stock is used when they are served with fried fish or as shrimp and grits. I never understood or liked it with sugar or syrup but to each his own. YMMV.

Salted with pancake syrup. Nothing else required. kwg

You heathens who add sweet stuff, please switch to cream of wheat and leave honest grits to those of us who know it is NOT cereal.

Bob, you can have my share of the tofu and quiche.

Coarse ground black pepper, habanero cheese, and chopped green chiles.

I'm with Rocky just butter and salt on my grits. All that sweet stuff some of ya'll want to put on grits, that would gag a dog on a gut wagon.

The main thing about grits is cooking them correctly. I bet most people who don't like grits have never had them prepared well. Bad grits are best used to patch driveways. Good grits make the angels sing.

I like good grits with salt, pepper, and butter eaten with breakfast food and with fried or baked seafood.

Not to hijack the thread or anything but what is red-eye gravy made from? Country Ham?

I think it has coffee as one ingredient. I will eat it but prefer sawmill gravy. miles

Boil in chicken stock,salt, pepper and butter to taste.

The best: Piece of buttered toast with a sunny side up egg on top then smothered with those grits. Homemade biscuits with butter and preserves to compliment along with a pot of hot black coffee. That's breakfast here at home.

slice of good country ham fried with a little strong coffee added. the oil will go to the outer edge with the coffee/pan drippings making the "eye" in the center. mighty fine with grits and eggs, cat-head biscuits

That's funny. I like my grits with lots of butter and lots of sugar along with a few eggs, crunchy bacon, white buttered toast and a gallon of coffee. Yum!!!

+1.

Only things to add to grits is cheese, butter, bacon, eggs, shrimp, gravy or fried fish. Sugar, cinnamon, raisins or any of that other stuff is strictly forbidden.

Now G.R.I.T.S., add alcohol to them and have all the fun you want and then some.

Everybody whom I've known who didn't like grits had (a) tried it once, (b) done poorly, and/or (c) had treated it like oatmeal or Cream of Wheat � sweetened � never like we stupid, subhuman Southerners had come to love it.

Years ago, someone wisely advised "When someone tells you that he doesn't believe in God, ask him what concept of God he doesn't believe in. Chances are, you don't believe in that concept of God, either."

How true! � not only in notions about God but also about notions of how to fix and eat grits.

Butter, salt, pepper, tabasco.

Just butter, salt and pepper.

Cheese grits are outstanding as well.

Raisins in grits is akin to dabbling in [bleep]. It just ain't right.

If yer looking for some good old-time grits, look up Geechee Boy Mill (or something like that) on Edisto Island, SC.
