Grits are basically corn meal mush. It's ground up corn, cooked like mush/porridge. It's a south-eastern ("Southern") dish. It can be served just as cooked as a side dish at a meal, or it can be put in a breadpan and chilled. It sets quite firm so it can be sliced, perhaps dipped in something (flour, egg, etc) and fried to heat it. Eat with syrup like a pancake.
People from the South who eat it a lot may have some other comments. I'm a Westerner who eats it only on occasion. I like grits but I usually don't think about fixing them when I do meal planning. I wasn't raised eating grits. Alice in Oregon -- ready for Day 2 of the fair. Everything is set up...I just have some more paperwork to finish. Should be a much easier day, just long. Perhaps I might even get some lace made today. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sue Duckles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Lace Chat <lace-chat@arachne.com> Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 4:59:37 AM Subject: [lace-chat] What are Grits?
