Grits refers to as a ground-corn food of Native American origin, that is common in the Southern United States and mainly eaten at breakfast. Modern grits are commonly made of alkali-treated corn known as hominy. The word “grits” is really a shortened way of saying what it really means, “hominy grits.” Grits are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta or the thinner farina. "Instant grits" have been processed to speed cooking. Hominy is dried corn kernels with the hull and germ removed. When this dried hominy is ground, it turns into what we know as grits. Three-quarters of grits sold in the U.S. are sold in the South, throughout an area stretching from Texas to Virginia, sometimes referred to as the "grits belt". The state of Georgia declared grits its official prepared food in 2002.

Because they are on the mild side, grits need a dose of flavor from things like butter or cheese. For breakfast, recipes like cheese grits are made. But for a more substantial dinner meal, Southerners rely on shrimp and grits, where the shellfish bulks up the grits.

Never had them with salty foods, only sugar. My mom used to make them for us with sugar and I liked them! Without it, they were flavorless. She would also add food coloring for us, so it'd be fun.

Now it's been so long I don't know if my tastebuds would like them as much. They are a little bit boring, but I remember liking my mom's with the sugar.

I tried them at a Waffle House or something when I was down in Florida, in taste of the (delicious, perfect) homefries, and it was a huge disappointment. I definitely prefer standard oat-based porridge.

I have had them a few times, and have never enjoyed the taste of them.

I love me some grits. I have made my own and tried the Quaker which I am not too fond of. It is not the same as homemade ones. I like mine with butter and sugar.

I live in the South and love grits! I have had them in a restaurant, instant, and home-made. My MIL makes the most amazing home made grits. She also authentic New Orleans style shrimp and grits. It's so amazing. One of my favorite things to eat.

Of course they're also good with just some salt and butter.

I have had them once or twice in a restaurant and found them ok. It sounds like its almost like
Polenta - acoarsely or finely ground yellow or white cornmeal boiled with water or stock into a porridge and eaten directly or baked, fried or grilled. I do like crea, of wheat, I think it's something like grits.

Never tried them. I kind of want to, even though I'm pretty sure I won't like them that much

I think it depends on where you live or your nationality (Italians Polenta).

One of my favorite things to do with grits... Make according to package directions adding chicken bouillon cube. Stir in fresh cooked corn cut off the cob that was cooked in butter, and smoked gouda cheese. Top with sauteed chicken strips and pan seared cherry tomatoes in garlic and fresh herbs. Yummy.

I LOVE grits! I'm from the South, where we prepare and eat grits all the time. Grits are super easy to make, delicious, and filling. What's not to love?

I have had grits numerous times! While not my absolute favorite, they can be quite good! I find that they are good with butter and cheese.

The best I have ever had though, would have to be shrimp and grits in Charleston, SC. Charleston is all about shrimp and grits.

My partner and I also make a fluffy concoction called Grits Souffle, which kind of tastes more like a quiche. He loooooves grits.

Gosh, everything you shared sounds so good. I do know that adding cheese in GRITS does make it great. By adding shrimp makes it all the better! Thanks for sharing.
