but really, what are grits?

[Kidrok (Hop)]

the box says made from corn??? How bad are they for you? The nutient breakdown isn't too shabby though.

[redrocks]

Grits rule Kid! They're a Southern staple...I've added the calorie-free butter flavored salt stuff to them and they're excellent!

[midwtchamp]

KR they are actually decent for you a lil high glycemic than oats (not that the glycemic index is worth a piss) a lot of guys that dont like oats use them in the am rather than the oats...

I'm from the north so I don't know what the hell they are. All I know is I get them at the waffle house everytime I visit Tennessee.

I like 'em, but I won't eat 'em...corn= fat to me ...no tanks :p

I tried to order them at Denny's once but the waitress said they were out. Never had any want to try them before or after that day.

Hominy grits, or just plain grits, are an institution here in the South, though they can be hard to find in northern states. Hominy is made from flint or dent corn,varieties with hard kernels that are dried on the cob then removed and soaked in a solution of baking soda, lime, or wood ash.



there is nothing better than grits with 3 sunny side up fried eggs and ham

PO'Boy...now your talking...

its only the best damn sandwich in the world. Originating from New Orleans, Poboys come a few ways.
1. beef Poboy - has roast beef and gravy on a french roll- like a hot open face sandwich, but on a sub roll kind of
2. shrimp Poboy- fried shrimp lettuce tomato on a french roll
3. fried oyster Poboy- just like the shrimp Poboy....

they go great with side of gumbo , dirty rice, jambalia, or crawfish etteffe'

Son of a bitch Im hungry NOW!
