Grits are a USA southern tradition, mostly served at breakfast but now trendy with dinner. Similar to polenta, grits are basically ground corn meal. In the south they were common among the poor as a subsistance meal or side dish.

I'm not big on them the southern way at breakfast but I don't mind them in dinner concoctions, like with shrimp or with a cheese mixed into them. I do prefer the coarser texture of polenta which is milled slightly less fine then grits.

Now, see...all these years I've assumed grits were something dry and crunchy.:P

Grits are best savory/salty/spicy not sweet, that'd be the oatmeal thread.
cheddar, bacon crumbs, garlic, tabasco, why only a half stick Ibram? you're too young to worry about your heart.

Busted-up hominy, corn at one time treated with lye, then rinsed clean, dried and milled to make grits or hominy grits, same thing. Amounts to cornmeal with some pretty rigorous pre-processing. East Africans and East African Brits name the stuff posho.

Well, in the box they kind of are...

Grits, yes -- and about with anything from brown sugar to all the above serving suggestions, though perhaps we should stop short of nine-layer dip? Really, that stuff requires corn chips.

But what I want to know is how to make the stuff without it tasting mostly of the box it came in -- southerners have the knack of it, most northerners don't.

Grits are wretched and foul, and oatmeal only very slightly less so.
