Grits

HOLY CARP!!!
On my last trip to Florida, on a whim, I ordered grits with breakfast vs. my standard oatmeal. Loved them! Never expected to like them at all.

So, I buy a container of Grits at the grocery store. Quaker brand. Figured, they make decent oatmeal...

They are good too. But then I noticed something printed on the container. "Produced using Genetic Engineering".

First time I ever saw that on a label. It bothers me a little but not as much as I thought it would. lol

Back to the grits...

For those of you who like them and eat them regularly, what are your favorite "enhancements"?

Mostly, just butter & salt, because we eat them for breakfast. To really clog your arteries, you can chill the leftover grits, slice them and fry them in butter. You can also take leftover bacon and crumble in your grits. Maybe top with a few chopped green onions.

Other than breakfast, we'll occasionally cook shrimp & grits or cheese grits.

Quaker makes a fairly smooth product. If you'd like them a little creamier (I don't) substitute a bit of milk for water when cooking.

Grits are awesome, especially with a braised lamb shank.

Nah, that's a working man's breakfast...Good foundation for a day cutting firewood or building fence.

I like Grits as desert: With raisins and, when cooled down a little, stirred egg whites. Mix with apple sauce or the like.

So what's the difference between grits and polenta? Other than one is usually white corn, and the other yellow.
