Just had a bowl if grits with butter, s&p. That was after a biscuit and gravy. What a great way to start a day!
I just had grits yesterday for breakfast. I make it with sliced Polish Kielbasa, black pepper, and a couple of shakes of good cayenne pepper. The sausage meat supplies the salt for a flavor-full balance. I find that a slightly spicy, savory recipe, makes even the worst coffee taste good. My coffee is by the way, strong enough to float a horse shoe.
 
I had grits for breakfast this morning
My wife got up a little later and asked what I had. She usually chooses something different
But she thought grits sounded real good
So I made hers.
Mine, grits a little butter, some cheese, pepper flakes and ground hot pepper
Her
Grits, butter,sugar and milk
Do you like your grits savory or sweet?
With me, it depends on when I'm eating them. If for breakfast : milk, butter, sugar. If having them with dinner: Cheese, salt & pepper, especially shrimp & grits.
 
I like fried mush. I ate that quite a bit growing up as my Mom liked it so we ate what she ate for breakfast. I never experienced grits until I went into the army. Stationed at Ft. Polk in Louisiana, they served grits every morning. Standard southern faire I guess. The only way I could stand the dry gloppy grits was to put butter and syrup on them. If I eat them today, I put butter and syrup on them. I see recipes for Shrimp on grits. Why ruin perfectly good shrimp with gloppy grits underneath.

LME, we Hoosiers had something similar, but we called it mush. You could buy it at the grocery. It came as a block or round roll much like slice and bake cookies. You fried slices of it, preferably in bacon grease, and served 'em topped with melted butter. Real health food! Thinking back on it, it was probably just grits in a block form.
I am presently in N.C. and I have shopped in a lot of grocery stores. I have never heard nor saw anything like you described? Please get the name of this so I can check again!

Why ruin any perfectly good food with grits?!
 
Mush or polenta is boiled corn meal. Grits is ground hominy.
It’s all a play on the wonderful plant called corn. Grits uses just the kernels inside, the skin being removed, corn meal the entire kernel. Samp is a dried cracked corn product sold in markets here in Rhode Island. Some Portuguese restaurants here serve fried cornmeal mush same as I enjoyed on the farm in southern Ohio.

Can't remember the name of the kind that mom always got. Last time I was "home" my sister said the local stores don't carry it anymore. Outrage!
 
Never seen such a little thing cause such a big fuss.
Have you not??? Why Harriet Stow wanted to drive grits out of the world. When she met Lincoln he said ‘your the little lady that started this war’. Mel Gibson stood In a line at Stone Mountain and yelled in his best foghorn leghorn voice
You I say you may take
Listen up boy I’m talking to you
Where was I
I remember
You may take our lives
But you shall I say you shall never take our grits
