Grits. I hate grits.

On the road today. Went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Ordered a standard breakfast, and it came with grits. I tried them, and they are every bit as tasteless as the last time i tried them. The wife ate some of them, saying she liked them, but she didn’t eat much. I asked why, and she said she didn’t want the calories. Calories? How can something like that even have calories.

Do you folks eat grits? Do you mix in stuff that has a good taste?

I eat them all the time but Cracker Barrel
grits are pitiful.

grits are okay with a little salt and a LOT Of black pepper ... prefer hashbrowns.

Add butter and lots of pepper.

Cheese grits and fried bass filets are one of my favorite meals

Milk, bacon, cheese and pepper.

Halfadozen has a heck of a good grits recipe that he makes at the lease. As long as the have a bunch of cheese in them I like grits.

First off, grits are not a calorie problem, but a carbohydrate problem similar to bread and potatoes.

Second off, grits are great! I love them.

Top dish - Shrimp and Grits. Make them this way:

Other good dishes:
Cheese grits
Grits with crumbled sausage, sautéed onions, Bell peppers, and Jalapeños,
Simple grits with butter and fresh black pepper.

I like grits

Grits need cheese and shrimp in them. By themselves for breakfast, yuck.

You can't beat a bowl of good shrimp and grits. Yum.

Love cheese grits (shrimp & grits). Use broth instead of water.

Real, cooked, raw grits, not instant like Cracker Barrel

Add heavy cream, sugar and REAL unsalted butter.

They call it Georgia Ice Cream

OMG !!!!!!!

Grits is grits..

I love grits with butter and black pepper

a side of eggs over easy, venison breakfast sausage and couple of biscuits helps

I can eat most things but I would never order grits.

LOVE grits - almost any way is fine, but with just butter, salt, and pepper they are perfect.

Love me some cheese shrimp grits

I like grits, but I love cheese grits.

Eggs & grits go well together. I also recently discovered that oatmeal & eggs are great together. I make a bowl of plain oatmeal with honey drizzled on top. Then lay 2 over easy eggs on top and 5 or 6 dashes of hot sauce. Take a spoon and cut the eggs up/break the yokes and mix all that together. Sounds nasty, pretty much looks nasty, but it tastes great!

Add salt and pepper to taste and they are good.

IME if you have to doctor up any food to make it taste better then it wasn't worth eating in the first place.

I haven't had my first good grits yet.

What? You mean you don’t put ketchup on your steak?

Kind of like a baked potato, it's used to hold all the other good stuff together.

This. But I'm definitely going to try Half's recipe.

If you see me grab ketchup then it means I am very hungry and the food tasted like I don't use steak sauce either on a steak. Might use BBQ sauce after I grill a steak to long. But I could put ketchup on top the chili with beans that I put on top of scrambled eggs.

Try some good "Shrimp and Grits" from a Cajun restaurant and then report back to me please.

Yellow corn grits over three fried eggs with black pepper

Jelly and butter in mine. You should try it.

Hope you like it, not much better than cheesy sausage grits along side some huevos!

LOL, but there is not much better than your nilgai steaks sir!

Grits runny egg yokes lots of salt & pepper mixed in a bowl, NO egg whites...

I have never made them, but I will get them when we go to a above average restaurant.

This.

Butter and sugar
Honey
Syrup
cheese
butter, salt, and pepper
Shrimp

So, if i understand this correctly, grits are sort of like the tasteless glue used to stick all the good tasting stuff together. I suppose that is some sort of justification for eating grits, but I’m still not wanting grits. I’ll stick to good tasting stuff for breakfast.

Try some good cheese grits.

The best grits I had were pimento n cheese mixed with the grits, served with grilled shrimps and fried green tomatos.

Ketchup or peanut butter make anything good

Grits are one of my favorite things to eat....when cooked right. I make some green chile cheddar grits that are top notch! Cracker Barrel grits are pitiful.

Well sir, do you eat spaghetti, macaroni or rice without adding something to them after they are boiled?

Grits and Red Eye gravy go together like home folks at Christmas....
Ron

Dang, BayouGuy, I hate it when somebody throws logic into my opinions. But...good point. I still hate grits though.

Let’s see....meatballs and meat sauce on grits....Nope. But it’ll work on rice or macaroni.

All that stuff you guys want to mix in or put on your grits will work on toast, though catsup might be a stretch. And you can pick up the toast, whereas grits are hard to get a grip on.

Sorry about the logic. It's one of my flaws.

Grits and fried eggs, now that's a meal!

They go by many names, but a whole lotta Africa survives on 'em.

Grits, like all other foods, just needs to be prepared and served properly. Grits were made to go beside over easy eggs and bacon. Try preparing a large batch in advance, enough to fill your banana bread loaf pan. Salt and pepper to taste then cover and refrigerate. Tomorrow morning, get your bacon going in the skillet, you need that grease for your new best breakfast item. Get your grits out of the fridge and slice off a 1" thick end slice. Ease it out of the pan, keeping it as whole as possible, and fry it in the bacon grease. Don't fiddle with it, just watch he edges while cooking it slowly until it browns, then flip it and brown the other side. About now is a good time to start those over easy eggs so it all comes out together. The now crispy and tasty grits will fit right in with the egg yoke. Enjoy!

Like it with fried eggs over easy.

I love em. Great with salt, pepper and butter, or butter and sugar. Great fried too. Though not many folks know how to fry them.

Add sausage gravy to those biscuits and you have the perfect breakfast.

No one should put ketchup on their steak.

I was kidding.

Fried grits is the best version. Cook your grits when cooked stir in some crumbled sausage, some chopped onions that have been sautéed, shredded cheese, plenty of pepper and salt to taste. Then spread that mixture on a sheet pan about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Cool in a fridge overnight. Cut into about 2" squares, then dip in an egg wash, flour mix and fry them to a golden brown.

Serve like small pancakes with lots of butter and molasses. Or serve with some good sausage gravy.

I bet you could freeze a bunch of those and they'd be just as good as fresh.

You can freeze them until you are ready to fry them, after they are fried, they are best eaten as soon as possible.

Okay, but I'm going to keep my eye on you just in case.

Some of y'all must be from New York City.

Grits are great!!!!

I don't make them at home, but if I get them in a diner, I usually eat them with 3 or 4 butter pads and 5 or 6 packets of sugar. Without something else, Grits are just tasteless baby food.

I forgot one of my favorites - grits with liver & onions.

My local diner makes awesome grits... Big bowl of grits with over easy egg yolks, and Cholula hot sauce.. MMM HMMMM..

Cracker Barrel here in our little town should just take grits off their menu.. they look like a little bowl of congealed white jello.. And taste about the same

The best grits I've ever had were horrible.......

Andouille sausage and cheesy grits.

It's hilarious when people say they HATE grits then will eat polenta with their Italian dinner.

Get some REAL stone ground grits, cook according to the directions. Season with salt and pepper. FYI, I always put my over easy eggs ON top of my grits.

Grits make me think of my grandma and those great breakfasts way back when... dang dust.

My breakfast and memaw memory is biscuits and gravy (I called it dip) course her biscuits did not come from a can.

Real men have grits ... For their hogs

Polenta.....who the heck eats that stuff?

I was just talking to the SiL, and grits got mentioned. He said he liked grits and shrimp. I asked what grits added to the eating experience, and he said “Uhhhh....i don’t know. Maybe i don’t need the grits in it”.

You guys are adding stuff to the grits to give it flavor. The grits are just an ‘extender’ for volume. Kind of like Tofu.

Do you eat the shrimp without adding any seasonings? Or what about a smoked brisket, do you smoke it without any seasoning? Most people add something to everything. Besides, grits is just corn that has been processed, it's a vegetable. You could substitute a potato, but that would still be just an extender for volume. Kind of like tofu...

I’m more of a cream of wheat kinda guy... throw in butter, a couple spoonfuls of sugar and a little milk. Used to love it as a kid

Polenta croutons are awesome!

You can lead a horse to water....

Kiss my grits

Grits are great! Bust those over easy eggs into them with cathead bisquits and life is good.

love me some grits

Shrimp & grits with fried pork chops. Been having it about once a week lately. Douse them chops down in some Louisiana Hot Sauce, Hm Hmnnnn!

Grits. Yuck!

Cheese grits, and they are awesome.

man skinner we need to plan a visit little buddy!

Daaamn Skinner

This is offshore cookin' fellas, I can't claim this but I sure did eat it LOL. For the first time ever we smoked a brisket out here too today. Got a BBQ pit set up in a safe area and found a brisket in SE Louisiana.

X2. Heck yeah with bacon crumbled up in it as well

Here I thought my family was the only ones who ate yella grits over eggs. Maybe were related. Best yellow grits come from a mill in Georgia.
