Yep, lots of people feel that way about them. Like my wife. But I can't help myself. I'm a gritaholic.

With me it's just that they were cheap enough to get in bulk to feed a large household. When that's all that gets put in front you, you eat but you grow to hate them
I understand that. For me it was plain oatmeal.
Grits are very bland, as in lacking flavor, so it must be the texture that is off putting to some.
Shrimp and grits, that’s a dish fit for kings. Add lots of butter, cheese and various herbs and spices to the grits. The grits are just a vehicle to carry it all.

Absolutely, I love prime rib & lobster tail, but set that in front of me 3 times a day for months on end & see how fast I'd push them out of the way for a PB&J or tunafish sammich. And I don't even like either one.
Fried squirrel and gravy the gravy gets poured over grits. a great combination.Nutella = ground up tree rat food

I grew up eating my grandma's fried skeewhirrel in white pan gravy over mashed taters. My mother made it as well as other relatives, but grandma's cookin was always my fav. We usually ate whole Hominy either European style - with a little milk, butter sugar & S&P ( my mother ) or Appalachian style - fried in bacon grease, from my grandma, but rarely ever ate grits until I was an adult.
Fried Skeewhirrel with pan gravy over grits does sound interesting, good even. It will never replace my fav - shrimp & grits, but I'm gonna try that.

Grits hot n buttered, then plenty of browned sausage with crushed red pepper or jalapenos n sea salt. Coffee too !

I posted it and realised I had left off the buttermilk biscuits! I came real close of messing up the breakfast. LOL!
I tried grits once. I was delivering a load down south and stopped for breakfast. I ordered ham and eggs, in NJ it would come with home fries. The waitress put my order in front of me and I saw this serving of white mush on my plate. I asked what it was and she replied grits. Well I decided to try them before I commented on them, as I was taught growing up. After tasting them I asked the waitress for a small go box. She asked why I would want to take them with me? I replied being it's winter if my truck gets stuck on some ice the grits would give me traction! She wasn't amused.

Milk and sugar. Like cream of wheat. If the grits are with biscuits and gravy then butter and a little salt and pepper.
Butter, salt, honey. Sometimes I use smoked Carolina reaper salt. In a bowl next to a plate of either sausage or bacon, fresh eggs from my australorps or Olive eggers, sourdough skillet toast. Bucket of coffee. Right next to my little wife and giant puppy. Life is good in the woods...
I am not a big fan of grits but I do eat them if that is what you get on the plate. Butter and some salt and pepper works for me. But then butter and some sweetener might be even better though. I never thought about trying that before.
I pretty much eat grits or oatmeal for breakfast all year long. Half and half and sugar is my go to way of choice

I put a little butter and maple syrup on them. That is the only way I learned how to eat them as they were served everyday for breakfast when I was in the army in Louisiana ....
