Anyway, being a wild eyed southern boy, I was raised on grits. My Granny would "mash" my eggs & grits up together and feed them to me before I was old enough to feed myself.
A true southerner only eats grits basically 3 ways; mashed up with eggs, with stewed tomatoes on top, or with fried fish. (Only a wannabe southerner would eat grits plain... )

So, do you eat them?
Bonus question!
Do you know what they are?
I enjoy grits. I have a tendancy to put a lot of butter on them when I get a chance to have them. If I go to my Aunts house she always serves them for breakfast.
I've eaten them (with butter), but it's been a loooooong time. The impression that lingers is that they were bland. OK, but nothing great. Kind of like cream of wheat, except bigger grains. They're the default breakfast side (I think) at Waffle House. No WHs around here though.
They are definitely bland, which is why we never eat grits by themselves! Now, fry some eggs, sunny side up and mix them with grits and it will make a bulldog break his chain...
Ding Ding Ding!
Ground corn indeed! Yellow corn= yellow grits...Yuck!
White corn= white grits! Where is my eggs!
Sorry Ken i have to say they remind me of Polenta, which i also dislike. No content, nothing to them. They can be done 60 different ways to Sunday but they still taste like...Grits.
Eggs and Hash-browns Son, Eggs and Hash-browns is the only way to go
Im a really Bad Yankee and make a point of insuring that all the good Southerners in the Waffel House see me smother them in maple surup and sugar and eat them like Malt-O Meal, always amazing the dirty looks i get, its like i just slapped there sister

mom fixed white grits served at breakfast with butter and syrup...yes bland is the word!
Every normal man must be tempted at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. I often wonder if the voices in my head ever get frustrated because I'm just too damn lazy to climb that clock tower.

i think the last time i had hominy grits was 20 years ago. mom made great fried grits (like a potato pancake). usually had 'em with eggs and bacon or sausage.... sort of a potato/hash browns alternate.
