Can we talk grits?

[Anonymous No.18150022]

Why does no one make grits anymore? I fucking love grits but the only way normies will eat it is in shrimp and grits, which is the worst grits dish.

[Anonymous No.18150042]

Isn't shrimp and grits a black thing.. or maybe some kind of Yankified version of Southern food. I have lived on the gulf, and coastal Georgia and South Carolina and it wasn't really a thing there, yet I see it exemplified as a quintessential Southern dish all the time.

Anyway, grits are good. You eat them for breakfast, or put cheese in them and have them with fried catfish. That the Southern way.

I make it mostly in the fall and winter. It's very satisfying on a cool day. I like it with just butter and milk or butter, milk, and sugar.

I live in the South and every breakfast place serves grits. Butter, salt and black pepper. Very tasty switch out for potatoes.

Sugar and/or cinnamon and butter is for Cream of Wheat or farina. Different grain, entirely. Common mixup, though. Like hoecakes, spoonbread and cornbread. First two are sweet(ish) and the other is savory.

Shrimp and cheese grits is Low Country food. Coastal blacks (Gullah) and gentrification whites, mostly.

How on earth can people eat grits that were NOT cooked in milk with sugar, that is just plain barbaric. Same goes for oatmeal. The only exception for grits made in stock are Bavarian Grießnockerl.

They do. I've never been to any breakfast diner that didn't also serve grits.

Grits are good every way you make them, and probably only you would exclude any recipe with them "oh but not shrimp and grits" Blah Blah Whine.

Stone ground grits, cooked in milk, with lots of butter/salt/pepper = kino. Melt in some Cooper sharp white American to make it even better. Marmite is also a good add.

Hating anyone based on geographical location rather than principals makes your perspective invalid. Grits are essentially a coarser grind of the Italian version, polenta. Of course, your limited vocabulary will probably prevent you from being able to understand this message in its entirety.

Are you thinking of cornmeal? Grits are made from ground hominy, which is lye soaked corn. Grits take nearly an hour to cook, its easy to scald milk, and it takes about 5 to 1 milk to grits, so it's an expensive and unpopular method.

If you're making a porridge with milk, like oats, you'd opt for cornmeal, not hominy grits. I don't think its common anywhere to make grits with milk. Sounds strange to me.

I’d say of everyone I’ve ever talked about grits with, maybe 1/3 or so like them done sweet rather than savory.
It’s not my preference, I’m a salt/butter/pepper guy, sometimes a handful of sharp shredded cheddar, but sweet doesn’t seem that uncommon.

Yes I've lived in Tennessee my entire life and never eaten shrimp with grits. Obviously I don't live near the coast, but it's just not something we do here. I've only ever eaten grits with salt, pepper, and butter. Cheese and bacon bits maybe, but I'm pretty sure adding milk and sugar to grits is a negro thing as well. One of my melanated acquaintances once told me he thought Chinese people were weird for not adding butter and sugar to rice.

I'm from southeast Tennessee, sometimes I'll put some blackberry preserves in grits, aside from the butter, salt, and spices necessary to make literal cornmeal palatable.

Looking it up says shrimp and grits is from the bayou and the coastal south.

Oh yea, there's a big difference in whole rolled oats vs instant. They're not in the same league.

For grits, they seem identical. Special local mill types of grits seem to have bit more of the dark germ left on the grain, but storebought grits and instant grits seem identical to me. They don't even seem finer nor coarser whatsoever.

I sometimes make a grits bowl in the microwave with the packeted instant grits x2, and then crack an egg on top, stir it in, sprinkle with sharp cheese. It's like the lazy man's cheese grits souffle.

What the fuck are you talking about? I just had grits for breakfast this morning. I cook them with 3:1 milk/water, butter, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Then when they're nearly finished I toss in shredded cheddar and a drizzle of local honey. Savory with a hint of sweet. Sometimes topped with a sunny-side egg. Call me a barbarian all you want, I'll eat them this way till I die and everyone I cook for that tries them like this end up wanting more.
