What are grits made from?

You know the real meaning of G.R.I.T.S. don’t you!? LOL Girls Raised In The South !!!

"No self-respecting Southerner uses instant grits."

Grew up eating grits!! When I was a kid and we lived up north (60’s) my Mom woyld come to my Grandmothers in S.C and stock up because you could’nt buy it up north.

We're not all Americans!

Love to mix up my grits with fried eggs, a bit runny, and sausage! yummy!

"Hey Mel- Kiss my grits!" :)

" Grits!!" in the film My Cousin Vinny , still hilarious 😂

my Mom taught me to eat grits by crumpling bacon bits into it--YUMMY!!!

I've never heard of grits before. I guess it's a very American thing?

spent my summers in n. carolina on my grandad farm, grits every morning for breakfast, we cook them slow good 40 min. and beat an egg in, with butter salt and pepper. yummo! I still make them some sunday mornings.

riel, A very Southern American thing.

Syn, an they have grit too!

Love grits and farina! Either or

only knew this because it was a word question😂

lunamoon, Sounds delicious!

GreyishOccupation2, First time I had “Grits” I liked them. I went to New Orleans after Katrina to help. We (a church group, from California) stayed in an Army Tent. The Mess Sargent serviced grits. To the day I like Grits. Funny, as mentioned before, I am Latino American and having Spicy Cajun food there did mess my my stomach a little. Pastor in charge of us did have to give me medication for my acid indigestion. I fondly remember those we helped in New Orleans, I say a prayer for them. Many told me they would come to California to help us incase the big quake would come. Thank God no humongous temblor has come. I love this game and I love all. Keep the peace and hang in there, we can only believe it will get better.

vagabondvision, Sounds delicious, me being Mexican American, I like Tamales, specifically green chicken. When there is leftover green chile sauce, I like it on my Tamale, with a sunny side egg. I break the egg yolk over the delectable goodie…This is my morning Christmas breakfast, simply delicious. My grandparents were from the South…South of the border.

I'm a lifelong New York resident and yet I ate grits for breakfast almost always. Go figure.

vagabondvision, me too sometimes I even add syrup

I make a pretty good polenta, it takes 40 minutes and constant stirring to get really creamy but its worth it

I had cheese grits and corn mix and it was delicious

Never heard of grits until I got married. My husband is from Texas and his mother served grits. My husband hates ALL hot cereal, so I've never had a chance to taste them. Enjoyed reading about the history of grits.

my cousin vinny

very interesting. I like grits but knew little of its origin

riel, Granny Clampett taught me all I know about grits!

JimmyLovesQL, My cousin vinnie

Syn, REALLY??

lunamoon, you had a grandad farm...when do those get harvested?

Debbie , sounds FAB!!

JimmyLovesQL, my cousin Vinny

wesley, who in the heck eats grits and jelly? they deserve all bad things in life lol that's worst than adding sugar

Fun guy, loved that word

Syn, -- Love eating them GRITS !!!

Savory grits are so much better than sweet grits. Give me cheesy grits any day!!

love any type of savory grits. Start out with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then I might add cheese, bacon or bbq'd shrimp 🦐. BBQ shrimp is with spices , lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire and don't forget the butter 🧈.

player384555, gravel can get gritty

RadicalPeddler8860, I am from USA and I hate grits!

I went to restaurant in east Texas and ordered grits with butter and garlic salt instead of jelly. The cook and two other waitresses came to our table to see who would have them that way.

My daughter was visiting in Georgia and ordered a bowl of grits. The waitress asked her what kind of jelly for them. She replied with just butter, salt, and pepper. The waitress responded saying, "Y'all not from around here, are ya?"

riel, yeah, I'd heard of it but didn't know what it was. I assumed it was similar to porridge
