[HeXp£Øi±]

Please this is only for non Americans & Non Canadians Note:you are not permitted to do any research if you don't know what grits are. Just answer the fricken question.
What do you think of Grits?

 

[Jeslek]

disgusting stuff

 

[unclehobart]

They cause me to die.

 

[Luis G]

i don't know what are grits, and since i'm forbidden to do a research on it.......i can't answer

 

[Leslie]

I really dunno what they are, except what I think unc told me once, they sound pretty bad though

 

[unclehobart]

I like em... but they tend to be a blank platform. It just depends on what you put on them. Think of oatmeal. You can go sweet, sour, cheesey. Same idea.

 

[Leslie]

now they sound sooooooooo much worse

*picturing cream of wheat and cornmeal, my only frames of reference*

 

[unclehobart]

Think of a mildly ground white high quality hominy served up cream of wheat style. A little butter, salt, and pepper. To me it depends on how its made. Theres a fine line between great and goop.

 

[Leslie]

I think I'll stick with Cream of Wheat with milk and brown sugar

*going the road I know, boring but safe*

 

[unclehobart]

Indeed. We all seem to go with what were raised on.

 

[AlladinSane]

I'm not going to tell you

 

[Nixy]

OK, I am Canadian and have NO idea what grits are

At Denny's they serve grits but I don't think I ever had them...

 

[Gonz]

I didn't vote but I'll say love 'em.

I doubt that theyre real grits anyway. Grits in Canada would be about as suspect as Tacos in Japan.

Grits is staple food in South Africa btw, which is why I found it absolutely disgusting. Everyone eating it all the time... nah, not for me.

Pap: Encountered at braais, pap is boiled corn meal. Pronounced "pup" it has the appearance, consistency and -- many say -- the taste of moist Plaster of Paris. Lots of South Africans pretend to like it. Eating pap is character-building in the sense that one learns to grin and bear adversity, rather like Americans in the South have grown spiritually by consuming grits. In a religious context, this process is called self-flagellation.

Thats thick corn goo ... not real southern grits. Southern grits is a finely ground hominy.

I have had southern grits, and while it taste different, by only a little margin, its still disgusting to me. lol.

And, I love the way you use the word pretend up there. I fully agree with you, but um, I don't think my dad does.

I think of them as Cream of Wheat gone horribly wrong.

Take a drive down to a small Mississippi town & find the place that all the farmers eat breakfast. Order grits & country ham & enjoy yourself immensely.

I've had true grits. South Carolina grits, where everything you order for breakfast comes with grits. Toast? Ok, here's your grits.
