I love grits…

[GriffWoody]

Real grits or instant grits…doesn’t matter.  They all goot.

so much you kiss them?

I made a POT of the speckled heart grits from Calloway this weekend. So good I skipped the cheese. Stood on it's own.

gonna have to go against the crowd on this one - grits are acceptable for variety on a breakfast feast, but they are vastly overrated. In the lexicon of breakfast, you've got biscuits, sausage, bacon, eggs, waffles/pancakes, then a big dropoff before you get to grits. They are better than cold cereal or oatmeal, granted, but just not going to stick to your ribs like the ones ahead of them.

I see E has never had grits prepared properly..

A lot of folks will give you a hard time about instant grits, but I ain't one of 'em.

I keep some in the cabinet for when I need a quick easy breakfast. A bowl of instant grits, and a couple of slices of cheese toast and I'm good to go.

Now don't get me wrong, I like real grits better.  Ain't nothing better than a Waffle House, All Star, over light, sausage, toast and grits.  Regular waffle. Cut them two pieces of sausage up in little pieces, mix them in with the grits, and stir in the over light eggs.  Add butter, and copious amounts of salt and black pepper.

It just don't get no better for breakfast.

A little bit of garlic in cheese grits will change the way you see grits.

a grit is a grit.  It is primarily a conduit to other flavors (butter, pepper, salt, cheese, garlic, etc).  A properly prepared grit is slightly more appetizing than sawdust if you put none of those flavors on it.

[Toasty B]

so will Salma Hayek covered in grits

[FeralDawg]

Apparently so. They call em Dixie Ice Cream for a reason. I would prefer grits before eggs and Sausage before grits. Waffles and pancakes I could do without.

And an egg is an egg without pepper, garlic, cheese, salt, etc.
I charge you, sir, with a false testimony.

Right ON, with redeye gravy............

[DawgWood]

[Doc Hollidawg]

Then don't add salt to the water, DA

when

[viper2369]

my "go to" quick fix is to scramble 4 eggs, use about half for a sandwich, and then the other half in a bowl of red eye gravy instant grits.  Takes about 5-10 minutes to make and helps get going.

Can't beat catfish and grits.............

[Top Row Dawg]

Gawd damn It - I thought y'all were talking about Girls Raised In The South. GRITS.

[GriffWoody]

Grits and steak make a good dinner.

Samjo, I’m withya. Instant don’t replace homemade grits, but they are a good, quick substitute. Also, I like putting parmesan and garlic powder in mine. If you want creamy, try milk rather than water, as the box suggests.
