grits are yummy, its made from a coarser version of cornmeal and when made with the proper abount of salt, pepper and butter is fantastic...its like a meatier cream of wheat...i grew up with it and im from the adirondack mountains in NY... case fucking closed*ding*
Grits and Hominy is nothing more than feed corn that has been used for human use due to poverty. Hominy was soaked in lye water to soften before cooking. Grits was ground before cooking. http://www.fragmentsfromfloyd.com/archives/001087.html
I love grits! They don't have them up here, so I gotta have people down south send them up to me. No sugar, of course. Just salt, pepper, butter, hot sauce and toast.
You're right and while I didn't grow up in the Adirondacks, I used to have an Adirondack chair in my backyard Hotwater
I grew up in central long island, NY... we have 0 country stations there... I never ate grits as a kid except for when we went down South.... But somehow, I love it...
