Do grits get a bad rap because it's from the soutH?

[Feldenak]

Ugh, I can't stand grits.

Eggs, bacon, home fries, & toast is the perfect breakfast.

 

[JulesMaximus]

No, grits get a bad rap because they suck.

Yeah me either.

And something DOES beat eggs and grits for breakfast. Eggs, grits and BACON for breakfast!

Or some good hot southern style breakfast sausage patties. :thumbsup:

Grits are awesome.

I keep a package of instant grits in the office. I prefer them to oatmeal, because when I'm hungry I usually prefer something savory.

And because they are from the south. The south sucks too.

Never lived in the South have you?

Back on topic...I'm convinced that grits could be used as spackle if the need arises.

I'd say grits have a bad rap, because they taste so bad, and have an unpleasant texture...but then again, youse folks that LIKE them, probably LIKE Okra...which is as close as nature comes to growing snot...

/me is a DAMMED YANKEE and PROUD of it!


I can eat grits, (learned how in the Corps when stationed down yonder), but I don't care for them.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

I'm in Georgia, and I hate instant grits... taste like cardboard... But I really do like eggs, bacon, and grits cooked with just a little of the bacon grease.. I can eat waaay too much of that stuff! :laugh:

 

[Quasmo]

They're good with Louisiana hot sauce.

I do like iced sweet tea alot, but I dont really like it that sweet, definitely not to the point of molasses.

mmm...fried okra. Although I don't particularly like it in my gumbo.

The other day, I was eating bento for lunch with some kind of okra in chili sauce and I thought my coworker was going to vomit. I don't think he'd ever seen okra in his life. Every chunk left a nice string of gelatinous ooze back to the box. Really, quite challenging to eat without making a mess of yourself.

Whoever wrote the Wikipedia entry does:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits

I've never had grits I've liked, but then I've never had them in a quality restaurant before. Usually it was at Boy Scout camp or school or something...texture is like sand in salt.
