corn mush in this case.. not to finely ground.. if you don't finish it it's excellent for repairing small cracks in the wall.

Re: "kiss my grits"

I remember 'grits' from watching the Beverley Hillbillies when I was little, always wondered what they were.

Re: "kiss my grits"

Sorry to the non-instant snobs- you can't be a foodie about grits. Grits rock, instant or not, big slab of butter (or Parkay if you really white trash ), salt, and get ready to constipate!

my parents were snowbirds lived in s.Florida for a number of winters.. and for many of those years my dad did the drive back and forth each year, It was during those trips my mum picked up a taste for grits and used to smuggle them back north of the Mason-Dixon line.

other kids parents brought back sacks of oranges when they came back from Fla... my parents ( RIP ) brought back :

grits
vidalia onions
and smithfield ham

now then... anyone know where I can get a good pecan waffle?

You mean like....from Englander?
This brings even more confusion on why they got Korean names.




Also, no self-respected person from the "Souff" would trust grits made by some Northerner...(half Canadian at that).

I eat my cream of wheat with butter and sugar (or cinnamon and maple syrup), same goes for oatmeal but having gotten into grits via my Southern friends, I eat my grits with salty stuff.

Most favorite "heart attack on a plate" (or in this case a cup) is to get grits with cheese and crumbled sausage from Checkers.
