I’m from Mississippi
Seventh generation and I prefer good hash browns too
And for Grits I prefer hominy grits....I don’t know about his creamy mush
Ours had granular consistency
I do like grits but mostly either with butter and preserves or as a casserole with cheddar and chicken broth
Or Shrimp and Grits of course
Many southerners like hash browns....trust me
The Grits I had way back when were kind of watery as I recall.
We are currently living in Natchez. Been here for a little over a year. We came from S. CA to be closer to my Wife’s Family. Grits aren’t a thing in CA. Never really heard of them until I flew to Charlotte, NC for Business back in the 90’s.
Just to reduce the number of (disapproving-LOL) Replies I have gotten since I posted my aversion to Grits, I will order them and give them a try in the near future at my favorite Restaurant.
They have the best deal in town, 2 Eggs over easy, Hash Browns, two Sausage Patties, Toast and Jelly, $4.95.
You can’t beat it with a stick. Once in a while I get their Biscuits and Gravy and a dinner plate sized Pancake (one is more than enough). Yummy, yummy, yummy.
If I order all that Food I’m still under $10, not including the Wheelbarrow they have to use to get me out of there.
