Virginia born & bred. We didn’t do grits.

I was 16 when I first tasted grits. That was when we were visiting a family in Alabama for Thanksgiving. I have never been able to acquire a taste for them.

My family goes back to 17th century Boston.

You don't know what you are missing.;-)

Grits are just hominy corn flavored with various other wonderful foods.

Charleston Shrimp and Grits

That recipe is nice but really good shrimp and grits has cheddar..

A family Christmas tradition at my house is oyster stew for breakfast.

Oyster stew grits is/are the most wonderful thing/s on the earth.

Make your grits with the leftover oyster stew.

You need to make grits to your own taste buds. Made them Virginia style.

Put in seafood or sausage or bacon or cheese or Virginia ham or all the above.

Grits, despite their lowly name, is/are the most wonderful food on the planet.

Take a chance and discover your roots. And find some rough ground grits. They are the most flavorful.

There are quite a few ways to prepare them, most of which are delicious. But, instant grits are not worth the time. Think of grits as a country version of polenta.
