Hey mister! Wanna buy a Grit?

When we have our monthly “Elder’s meeting” at church it includes a pair of the elders making breakfast for all of us. Whenever Commer volunteers he makes a big pot of his grits, which everyone loves. His “secret” is adding Cream of Wheat(CoW) to the grits. I don’t know the percentage of CoW to grits, but it does makes it good. And he always puts in butter while cooking it.

I like poached or soft-boiled eggs w/ grits, which I eat at least once a week.

I am a northerner living in Georgia. I was wondering about the health value of them as I developed a taste for them So this addition to the site was very timely for me. I make them in my rice cooker along with Oatmeal on other days. I mix them up and cock the cooker in the evening. It is hooked u to a smart plug with a Google speaker and I just say “hey google turn on the Grits” and then I shower, shave, dress and go down to my kitchen with a serving all ready for me. Smart speakers and AI really change your life!

Sorry, I can’t scroll through all 200 replies but in case no one mentioned it there is a great documentary from the 70s called It’s Grits.

Well, it ain’t southern unless you can feel your arteries hardening while your eating it.

Grits is good, however I’d rather have oatmeal. I think johnnycake is the Northern version of Grits.

Shrimp and grits, my favorite.
