The Jokeman Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Not top of my list but have had them and enjoyed some cheesy grits I had a few years ago, I'd have them again.
Pete Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Do you put scrapple in your grits? I’m a fan of grits. I’ve eaten scrapple

Happy Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Not a fan of grits. I've spent plenty of time in the south and just couldn't ever like grits. 1

Doc Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 My wife will make it as a side dish for dinner, with cheese and bacon. Yum.
LewPort71 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Grits...yes, just plain, no additives Shrimp and grits. a big HELL yes. The addition of hot sauce is required.
Augie Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Nope! I have a banana and skim milk every morning. My wife came home from Boston a day early last week because a co-worker (born, breed and educated in NYC) in Atlanta for a few days. My southern wife took her to a 50’s style diner (OK Cafe for the locals) for breakfast so she could introduce her to grits. Her guest had an egg white omelette and grits. She looked down at her meal and said “Wow, I’ve never had an all white meal on a white plate. Not much to look at!” 2

I already have the shrimp for both games..deciding between a shrimp boil and shrimp and grits! @Augie, grits are for more than breakfast..you like polenta?
BuffaloBud Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Grits - yes. Not every day. I'll make some up after a bike ride and add in a fried egg and some cheese. Shrimp and grits - big ?

I can bring a cast iron fry pan you can toss in someone’s grill. Let me know.
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Like asparagus and anything that includes the word sprouts, you have to doctor the hell out of them to be able to eat. Kind of a waste, on many levels. 1

Grits are delicious! I don't know why, but I like them with butter. I don't go out of my way to find them, but if they are being served...why not.

I was kidding my wife she could take her out for polenta instead, but it would cost her twice as much! That made me google it....I think grits is made from white corn and pretty fine in texture, and polenta is made from yellow corn and more corse. Either way, you need to find a way to add flavor. No?

We have a fairly large cast iron pan can render the bacon and do the shrimp in..it is a pot big enough to make grits for 12-20 people i am worried about..now you have motivated me to go to restaurant supply store at lunch!
