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.

When they took Gen. Lee’s statue down in Richmond I knew Virginia would never be the same. Maybe Bojangles will sell you bagels and lox now.

17 years over in the Shenandoah Valley and we never ate grits. Down in Florida there everywhere but BoJangles at least where I’m at. But 46 years in Florida I love grits now.

Grits are something you work with, Like butter La. Hot sauce, Couple eggs over easy

Well I grew up in Southern Kentucky and I never had grits till I was in an Army mess hall. Can I find them grit trees the same place as peanut trees?

[zarrinvz24]

Grits are still a stable in South Carolina. Hard to imagine a future without ‘em.

I used to hang with some boat racers in Southern Louisiana that took the term 'redneck' to a whole new level.
They'd straight up tell ya that everyone North if Interstate 10 was a Yankee.

(I-10 runs East & West between Houston and New Orleans)

Still have Grits in Louisiana ... but there is still 3 1/2 years to go and He could ban them with one Executive Order . At the moment you can still cook and eat them at home but if you want to eat them in a restaurant you have to show proof of vax shots and any booster he thinks would be nice .
It's going to be a long 3 1/2 years without 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"!!!

"Staple" not stable. Horses probaly will eat grits as well as they very much like corn!

[jonp]

Cream of Wheat. Grits are weird like Chitlins

[Stewbaby]

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.

That's funny, I don't care who ya are !

I don't even butter 'em - cover with black pepper like most everything else on the plate .
My one trip to Camp Perry, asked for sweet tea , got strange look . Them folk think you can take cold unsweet tea and add sugar ! Nosiree, 2 cups of sugar to one gallon fresh brewed , now that's sweet tea.
Grits can still be found, no place I know where you can get your corn in hominy form hereabouts .

Coastal Georgia,,,,some fast food joints have a 'grits bowl' or a 'breakfast bowl'...it is a bowl of grits with sausage (bacon), egg, maybe slice of cheese.
Not too bad for fast food joint. gets the job done on yur way to work
