Thread: Grits what do you do with them

Grits and shrimp or grits and fish are common fare here in Florida and elsewhere in the coastal South. My personal best grits meal is grits cooked like normal then stir in some pepper jack cheese until the cheese is melted in the grits. Serve the cheese grits as a side dish with smoked mullet (a small smoked fish similar to herring). Spritz with a generous shake of tabasco sauce and wash down with multiple cold beers. What a wonderful lunch.

Grits are also a good side for breakfast with eggs, sausage and biscuits. Again, simply cook the grits add butter, (cheese if desired), salt and pepper and enjoy. A major faux pax committed by many Northerners is to put sugar on their grits, you can think about it but don't do it. There are actually places where this is against the law, I think

PS: To be precise, grits are ground up hominy
