I like hot sauces (not just tabasco) on eggs, but never thought about it on grits.  Another item on the list to try. Smiley

Can't believe noone has said grits and eggs yet! A little butter, some salt an pepper and a couplea Over easy eggs on top. Now THAT'S heaven...
Not much of a GRIT eater my self but that is exactly the way my Mother ate grits. Born and raised in Texas and a more hard core Texan you wouldn't have found when she was alive so I imagine that's the preferred Texan way to eat them.

Quote from: One of Many
None of you have mentioned the scrambled pork brains; serve with grits and eggs, and your condiment of choice.
For some of us there is a reason for that....
Do they make soy pork-brain substitute?

Yep, it's called Toad Food. About as appetizing as pork brains, and...

OK, I can't continue, or I'm going to puke.

I think I'm the only person in Minnesota who eats grits. People here look at me funny when I talk about them. I tried them in the military years ago, and I was lucky to have some southern boys teach me how to eat them properly - salt & pepper, with a few fried eggs on top. Us northern boys would generally eat them like Cream of Wheat or oatmeal - butter, milk, and sugar.

I like to mix in a few dashes of Cajun spice and a handful of shredded cheese on them now. My girlfriend actually will eat a few bites of grits when I make them like this. They're a great winter breakfast food. They fill you up and warm you up.

When I was a kid my grandmother would make way more grits than we could eat for breakfast (she added butter, sugar, and cinnamon). For lunch she would put an egg or two in the leftover grits and fry 'em up in some bacon grease. Then she would make gravy with the grease that was left. Tasty!

DING DING DING DING DING!

I think that's why that guy in the diner got so pissed at me. I was eating them as a cereal instead of as a staple of souther history, hospitality, blah blah blah blah vomit.

35 replies?!??!! Grits are a hot topic!

Thanks, all! Sugar being the most accessible thing at the eatery I frequent, I'll prolly use that next time. People there don't seem to much care what I put on the grits, as long as I put the money on the table afterward. Cheesy

Yup, I have to admit, even though I'm a northern boy by birth I've never considered eating my grits sweetened. Till now...

I almost singlehandedly restarted the Civil War over grits.

I was going through the MP Officer Basic Course at Ft. McClellan, Alabama, and a bunch of us went to Shoney's in Anniston one Saturday morning for Breakfast.

After placing my order, the waitress (Picture 'Flo' from the TV show "Alice") asked "Y'all wan griz with thaaat ??"

To which I responded (in my best Midwest, unaccented, dam near King's English):

"I've never had grits before, can I have just one to see if I like it Huh??"

I was informed:

"That the Civil War ain't over, it's just been a long time between battles."

Also the first place I heard the term: "War of Northern Aggression."

LOL... I heard my Georgia Peach aunt use the phrase, "You damn Yankees!" more than once. She was a hell raiser boy. Janis Joplin was her hero(ine). And she swore by Southern Comfort cause she saw Janis and she brought a bottle of it on stage with her. It was the definng moment in her life, apparently. All in all though, she was pretty cool.

"I was informed:

"That the Civil War ain't over, it's just been a long time between battles."

Also the first place I heard the term: "War of Northern Aggression.""

I had a boss some years ago who couldn't get over the fact that the Civil War had passed him by.

He was going on and on about it until I told him I needed to take the afternoon to go to the United States embassy and get my visa renewed.

I told him that I was heading back home to Pennsylvania for the weekend, and if I didn't have a current travel visa I'd have problems getting back into the Confederate States of America when I hit the border Sunday evening.

He sort of looked at me, so I slapped my hand to my forehead and said "GEEZ, I keep forgetting WE won that war!"

I thought he was going to fire me on the spot. Smiley

That was also probably the first time that he had ever heard of the term "War of Southern Stupidity."

What kind of grits did you get, Blackburn?

Here in Northern Virginia the most common kind is Quaker Oats, which makes some southern people I know shudder.

The south is the only place I've been asked "ya want grits or hash browns with 'at?" Cheesy

I like them mixed with fried chopped up SPAM, runny eggs, a big goop of real butter, S&P and enough Frank's hotsauce to change the tint of the original mix.

"Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector"


It's such a nonsensical title that it verges on self-deconstructing.

In other words, it makes my head asplode.
