" I went to the beach today,,,,now I got grits in my toes "

Left over grits is almost similar to left over bacon, but when there are grits left over, they go into a narrow deep baking dish and left on the counter until cooled down, then into the frig. Next time they get sliced to about 5/16 inch thick and pan fried slowly with a little bacon grease, butter, or Olive oil til golden brown. I have a #10 can of Hominy in the pantry. The plan is to dehydrate it then grind with a stone grinder only to see if one can duplicate grits. Grits IMO are better nourishment than cornbread because most corn meal is degerminated. Grits are not. Long ago I was at a Church dinner on the grounds in Mobile Alabama and I mentioned that sometimes I liked sugar on my grits, and man oh man, I thouht I was about to dechurched on the spot.LOL

Mississippi. Gotta have my grits (butter, never sugar), biscuits and gravy with bacon and / or sausage. Fry and egg too while your at it.

Don’t think I’ll ever try fast food grits though.

Make that two eggs over medium. Celiac be damned!

Cream of Wheat. Grits are weird like Chitlins

Blasphemer !!!

Burn the witch!!!

A quick Google and there are 12 restaurants around Monterey CA that serve grits. LOL


Interesting, someone at Google must like grits.

You might want to grow your own in the garden.

You won't find the seeds anywhere, but ask your local nursery for a couple of grit bushes.

Grit bushes are very expensive. Better to buy grit seed and start your own. I once had some grit vines but they grew 15 feet tall and were hard to harvest.

I was on a trip to Florida and we stopped at Shoney's for breakfast. "WE serve 100 kinds of Grits" When we ordered I said no thanks to grits and the waitress hollered our order to the cook, the last one was a #2 over easy and no grits for the yankee! In those days once past St Louis you eat grits!

In the 90s, I had a girlfriend from Shreveport.
Her Mom was a big time plant & flower grower.

(Keep in mind-- the best practical jokes are ones you can get people to play on themselves)

Her Mom visited every few months---
I told her one time she needed a grit bush-- She looked at me kind of funny, and asked more about them.
I said, yeah, peaches come from a tree, beans grow on a vine, etc. and grits come from a bush.
I told her they were ornamental, but you can eat the seeds too.
She was born & raised in Shreveport, and I figured she knew better....

Anyway:
Next time she was in town,,,,, she jumped me! WHEW!! She was madder than a captured Japanese soldier.
"I went to the nursery and asked for a couple of grit bushes, The kid had to go get the manager,,,,,,,,
he explained grits were made from corn, and didn't grow on a bush.
-----I've never been so embarrassed in my life"!!!

That's a good one !
... But ... You know when you tee off a girls Momma like that ...
the chances of a marriage working out go from slim to none !

Yeah, but she was a good sport.
Of the three of us, she was the most upset when we broke up.

Sorry but I like grits with butter and sugar. Also butter and salt and pepper and fried like Oldbearhair stated. I once watched a coworker put mustard and ketchup on grits ugh what a nasty look that was.

I'm an up-state New Yorker, and I love grits. Every mess hall in the Marine Corps has grits, and I've loved them ever since, and that was 50+ years ago. I'll have to try grits on a bagel!

Around here a lot of farmers wrap round bales in white plastic. We tell the city people they're big marshmallows and we sell them to the candy factories in the city where they make little ones. You'd be surprised how many think seriously about that.

My neighbor saw a fancy BMW parked along a back road, lady was taking pictures of the cows and the pretty scenery. He stopped and gave her a friendly welcoming greeting, and warned her that cows get covid too. Up went the mask & down the road she went in a cloud of dust!

I think a lot of you southern boys would be right at home here up north. Get away from the big city and you'll find more than a few red necks in the woods. Might have to search for grits tho.

I have found working with people from all over, country boys are country boys no matter what STATE they are from. Just like all northerners who move here to Florida are not Yankees (which gets a few folks blood pressure up on here) but a lot sure are. It's as much a state of mind as where you are from.

When I was in high school my step dad was a long haul driver for Allied Van Lines. He always took me with him in the summer and paid me 5 bucks an hour, when minimum wage was like 2 bucks an hour. We went into a truck stop in Kansas for breakfast and fuel. I ordered grits with my breakfast. (I was born in South Carolina). The guy at the next table looked at me and said grits huh? I said yeah, he said I'll try one of them. I said a grit he said yeah, we just started laughing. I LOVE grits, but I don't want instant grits, I want cooked grits. They are way better tasting.

Ive lived in the Shenandoah Valley for 72 years and have eaten grits all my life.......😎
