Grits: Y/N, if Y: How? - Page 2

Ewwwwww, I cant bear to eat oatmeal at all. It's completely and totally foul.

Do not bust up the hominy, use it whole. Make Posole instead, using both sweet and hot dried chiles, garlic, onion, tumeric, oregano, salt, and pork butt with ox tails cooked in a large open pot with water or broth until the meat falls off the bone. Add honeycomb tripe (menudo) for the brave ones

I once dated a gal who's mom was an O Miss graduate. Quite the diva and drama queen, but man she could cook. She made a cheese grits casserole thing that was delicious.

Grits are mandatory at breakfast. Either with cheese or a fried egg whipped into them.

What are Grits anyways?
Grits are 50.
But what are they?
They're extra.

Steer clear of the Quaker. No matter what you do it tastes like wallpaper paste.

McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal is a chore to cook, but a joy to eat. Wee bit of cream and honey and you are good to go.

The only oatmeal that counts as oatmeal.

You see a northern breakfast in cereal ads. Cereal with milk maybe with fruit, and a glass of OJ.

Or maybe a Pop-Tart on the way out the door.

The true breakfast of champions is Twinkies and Mountain Dew.

Want to know what grits taste like and have the texture of? Ground up rice.

I hate them.

However, if you want the best grits ever - I highly recommend the Shrimp and Grits at Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I've never had it, but people rave about it.

Y/N? Absolutely absolutely absolutely positively N. A five-story letter-of-fire visible-from-space N. Grits are wallpaper paste mixed with sand, and are simply a delivery mechanism for whatever they're mixed with.

Northern breakfast: meat and potatoes. Sausage, ham, or pork roll; home fries or hash browns.

Don't like GRITS? Don't eat the sobs

That's right. Just like oatmeal, they're a carrier for the stuff you really want to eat.

BTW, tried grits once......ONCE.

Oatmeal with Skippy Super Chunk and syrup. Mmmmm.

Breakfast of the Gods is a proper British fry up.
Amended in my case (ie virtually unrecognisable) to:
Grilled sausage (links, not patties)
Grilled bacon (in rashers, not your little shavings!)
Egg - fried sunny side up, poached lightly or scrambled
Baked beans
Brown sauce
White toast with unsalted butter
A great big mug of strong tea

But the best brunch I've ever had (and believe me, I've brunched!) was the Cityscape buffet in San Francisco. I still recommend it to people travelling to the States. And the free top-ups of Bucks Fizz were only partly to blame.

I'm partial to sausage gravy and biscuits, and I'm from the north.
