Great Galloping Goblets of Gravy!!!!

You guys are acting like Poutine is as good as GRITS!

Uh... you'll have to tell us first about grits: what are they?!

Grits are a Southern thang... I can't explain exactly what they are; I've only had them once. I thought they were pretty tasteless, but I suppose it makes a big difference who makes them. I had them on a breakfast buffet at a hotel once. I bet Gil. has a secret ingredient or two...

While we're on regional cuisine, anyone ever had Shoo-fly Pie? Mmmmmmm!

Grits are made from coarsely ground hominy which is corn. Whole hominy looks like garbonzo beans or chickpeas. Grits do have a pretty bland taste, that is why you have to add stick of butter to it and plenty of salt. I also like plenty of pepper and melted cheese on mine. YUM YUM!

Shoo-fly pie.....hmmm, only on vacation.

Grits, tasteless? With salt and pepper they're great!!!

Are you reading my posts??

Anduin No he's not

And everybody I never tasted grits but I'm SURE they're not as good as Poutine. In fact, NOTHING's as good as a good poutine!

Hey, grits sounds a bit like falafels!
Except that falafels are not made with corn...

So, is grits more a meal taken from our hosts the native americans...? Sounds like something they would have invented, and passed on to the colonizers in the begining, before the quarrels...

Grits can be served with gravy.

Grits can be cooked with water, or milk, or beef broth, or chicken broth.

Grits can be served with melted butter and with melted cheddar cheese.

Grits should have a spoonful (or two) of sugar in each serving.

Grits are nice with onions and garlic, too.

Of course I have a recipe! Deceptively simple, as all great recipes are...

If you are as lazy as I am, and want something fast and hot and good for breakfast, this is my off-the-shelf recipe for the best grits you can possibly eat, ready in less than 5 minutes! Just time enough for the coffee to perk.


LAZY HOBBIT GRITS

2 packets Instant Cheddar Cheese Grits (I like Quaker brand)
4 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons dried chopped onions (from your grocer's spice shelves or 4 tbs fresh)
1/4 stick of butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup water (substitute chicken broth if desired)
1 cube chicken bullion (optional)

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. (Crumble or predisolve bullion cube if desired, good without it.) Microwave for about 3 minutes. Stir and let sit for a couple of minutes while you sip your coffee down a little. Wolf down and fly to work. Delicious and good enough for company in the evening, especially if served with fried catfish which is also good for breakfast! Makes two servings.

Anyone ever eat a Poutine for breakfast?

[c] GRITS RULE!!! ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GRITS!!![/c]

Ah, grits.... I had them in North Carolina once. Didn't care for them too much though. A bit too, well, gritty for me.

A poutine for breakfast?
Of course!
With a brownie and a DrPepper...

Hum, Poutine for breakfast..... I did this last week. and the week before. That's a good way to start the day!

Well, if you can eat a Poutine anytime of day, then I guess it's pretty good!

...but Grits rule!

Hmmm....adding sugar to grits.....haven't tried that yet, nor even heard of it, but it makes some sense and I think I will have to try it. YUM......GRITS!!! Onions and garlic.......now why didn't I think of that?!! YUM.....GRITS!!

Hmmmm.... that makes me wonder anduin...
I wonder if there is *another* hidden meaning to the word "grits"...
Something like the "poutine" thing...

Goodness gracious! No hidden meanings here!

What dirty minds you French Canadians must have!

Indeed my friend, indeed. What a dirty mind Juntel has...

Juntel, not the rest of us...?
