We, my Wife and I, usually eat grits in the winter. Mostly with butter, sharp cheddar cheese, and extra pepper. But there are many recipes in southern Louisiana that are outstanding. Shrimp & grits and Grits & Grillades are local favorites. The Grits & Grillades are made with strips of steak or roast beef, with lots of onions, bell peppers, and seasoning. Both dishes are spicy and delicious.

This is how I fix them. I also cook them with a little less water than called for and add buttermilk as they thicken up, for a little extra flavor.

From a yankee who visited Charleston last fall, grits with shrimp is pretty good stuff or as part of breakfast or….

Shrimp & Grits is one of my fav foods in the south. Theres not a hellova lot I like about moving to the deep south, but shrimp & grits are everywhere & thats alright with me.

At Ft. Polk in Louisiana we had grits every morning. Crappy army breakfast. The only way I could eat that trash was with butter and syrup. Today I still eat my grits that way.

Wait; you said that was a 'crappy' breakfast, BUT, you STILL eat them? Those old Army habits are hard to break!

 

[William Schenck]

Ok, here’s how I do it. Two strips of bacon, two jumbo eggs over easy salted and drenched with Tabasco sauce, and of course the grits. After the solid part of the eggs are gone mix the liquid with the grits. Right now I’m also having cherry tomatoes from the garden.

Had SOS every morning, during Basic Training and AIT at Ft. Carson. CO. Usually cold, because during the winter in Colorado it would be 20 degrees in the mess halls. Don't know SOS? Ask anyone that was ever in the 'old' Army. Tried grits once. Except where I grew up, in Oklahoma, it was called cornmeal mush. Still NASTY, though.

I eat them with butter, salt and pepper usually.
Every once in a while I want sweet rather than savory , and eat them with maple syrup.

Don't you try the Nutella? Het is lekker...

Maybe you were picky the first time through a mess hall breakfast line. But never again. By means of a mistake, I learned to like chocolate milk on Wheaties.

We usually had duck for breakfast in the chow hall, duck in and duck out.

Breakfast out of your mess kit in the field was often better than in the mess hall. And it was not the ambience. Maybe the cooks were more respectful of us when we had rifles.

 

[appalichian hunter]

Yep nothing like a can of C-RATS at 0 dark thirty in the morning. We were issued mess kits but never used them. Never seen a cook in the field during my eight years in the Corps. When in the rear I actually liked SOS. On the other hand, when being taxied to destinations un-know by the Navy we usually had a shall we say decent breakfast. Best hope the grits were stiff if stormy seas.

Eiers en Boerwurst is 'n goeie ontbyt.
Eggs and Boerwurst (farmers sausage) is a good breakfast. I never liked grits.

Not picky. Grew up in rural Oklahoma, where you ate what was placed before you. But SOS frozen to your tray because Ft. Carson relied on steam heat and it unreliable at the best of times. 'Swallow now, chew later, there's men waiting for chow!' Was the Mess Sgts. & DI's mantra.

I make jerky out of all edible parts. I've always heard some parts can't be made into good jerky, but I'm here to tell you it definitely can. My only two additives are salt and a good soak in Sweet Baby James bbq sauce.

 

[David Y. Snellen]

For me, NO sweet grits. Salt, pepper and enough butter to turn it yellow. Really good when you make extra, put them in a bread pan in fridge and next morning, slice and fry.
Also good with chives. And soft eggs where the yolk is soft enough to mix all together.
The sweet part needs to be tea (iced tea that is). Needs to be sweet enough to stand the spoon up in the glass.
