Man, Southerners have it all figured out! I grew up in PA and never had grits. I've always associated them w/ any other hot cereal. I've never been into hot cereal until I had me some grits! MMMMMMMMMMM...YUM! Kinda tastes like rice if you put butter on them.

 

Yep, good stuff.

Butter, salt, pepper. Country ham with red eye gravy, cat head biscuits, 3 fresh yard eggs, toast and a quart of coffee

New England yankees eat it with sugar and butter and call it parina. That's not half bad either.

 

The REASON you put butter, sugar, salt, or pepper on them, is because that's the only way they have any taste! Otherwise, (from my experience), grits are just warmed up wallpaper paste!

As far as 'parina' goes, I think that's what we fed our dog when I was a kid. Came in a 50lb sack, added warm water for 'gravy', dog loved it. Never tried it myself tho. I s'pose compared to grits, it may actually TASTE like something!

i think he ment "FARINA"

 

I guess someone needs to make me grits "the right way". I've tried to be a trooper with them, (cheesy, salt and butter, sugar) and I haven't liked them. There are very few foods I don't like and I'd be willing to give them one more try, but that's it!

 

Not this Yankee! Butter, salt, and a dash of Tobasco. S'like eating "khan on the khab"! Oh....and a side of scrapple too please!

BTW, pogo, the best grits I've ever tasted come from a place in Belvidere, TN called Falls Mills. I buy sacks online and have it shipped to me.

 

grits are like everything else to each his or her own

i love em

 

Wallpaper paste.... yep that's it!!!!!!

 

Nah, you want that wallpaper paste-taste, it's not grits, it's poi.

 

Not often do I eat a mornin breakfast.....when I do its grits with Brisket and gravy and lots of Fatback on the side after that I'm set for the day

 

I told a lady in a restaurant once to NEVER EVER put grits on my plate again. Tasted like salty beach sand. She said you're not from the south are you. I said what was your first clue.
I can't think of a good use for them except for the compost pile. Hominy is about the same thing.

 

I'm with ya DD ... hominy is like eatin soggy cornnuts. Can't do it.

Grits are ok with some ham or fatback. Never tried it with sugar.

PISTOL

 

 

Man...fatback...holy cow...I can't eat that stuff! I might be able to suck down a spoonful of salt easier than eating fatback!

"i think he ment "FARINA""

Or Purina.

 

Man! You southern boys have some weird names for things... either that, or you just EAT weird things!

What the heck are these things?

'a side of scrapple'
'Brisket'
'Fatback'
'Hominy'
'cornnuts'
