GRITS!~~~~

[Ryan]

and Ketchup, tasty

 

[NinjaGnome]

yuck, i had to eat that crap in the army and the only way it tasted good was with like half a pound of sugar. The reason i had to eat it was I was trying to gain weight and they only give you portions of things and so you just have to get everything.

Vinny Gambini: How could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes?
Mr. Tipton: Um... I'm a fast cook, I guess.
Vinny Gambini: You're a fast cook? Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than any place on the face of the earth?
Mr. Tipton: I don't know.
Vinny Gambini: Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

Yuck - sugar is horrible with grits. They're awesome with cheese too, but ketchup is my real weakness

I'm not a big fan of grits, but I'll eat them with a bit of butter.

closest thing i can think of right now is something like cream of wheat, or think of corn meal made into a porridge.? http://www.grits.com/discript.htm

Grits with bacon and cheese mixed in, then toped with a fried egg and some toasted sourdough bread .

OMG the best ever.

Grits were the kids with the army boots and black leather jackets when I was in highschool, there were also the usual preps, geeks, spaz's, jocks and the Durons, The durons were the ones who wore those cheap paper painters caps for no real reason.

We never had that in the army.

If we did, I would have gone AWOL.

Ha, that's always the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear about grits.

$15?! The stuff isn't as cheap as grits, but it's hardly expensive.
Polenta cooked: ~$0.50 (1 3/4c dry, about 2 quarts when cooked)
Polenta fried and eaten: ~$0.25
Polenta baked for tomorrow's lunch: ~$0.25
Sauce: maybe as high as $0.50, but probably not that much.
Olive oil: negligible for frying, no more than 4Tbsp cooking (and 'lost' in frying). The oil used for frying can be re-used for cooking (some flavor has been cooked out of it, though), and if I had cooked anything else, I would have still used about as much olive oil as is in the food or will be washed from the dishes (2-4 Tbsp).
Cheese: 1/3 or so of a 5oz block of parmesan...so ~$1.50

Total: about $2.50, the majority being cheese.

 

[NinjaGnome]

I tasted grits plain and i just cant even imagine putting anything but sugar or maybe maple syrup in it. Cheese? WTF

 

[SacrosanctFiend]

Ugh...grits are the worst food known to man.

 

[Ilmater]

Grits and ketchup? EW! Now Grits with a sh1tload of sugar and butter... they'll stop your heart, but they're worth it!!!

 

[Tom]

grits are great with butter salt and pepper.

or like a hot breakfast cereal with butter sugar and milk.

 

[NuclearNed]

Anybody that eats grits with sugar is obviously from the northern states (i.e. they are confusing grits with cream o' wheat)

I'm simple with my grits - salt, pepper, and a little butter.
