highlight of your day?

Usually a breakfast item in the US Southern region. Made from the kernel of corn. When corn has been soaked in lye and the casing has been removed it becomes Hominy. The lye is rinsed out very well and the corn is left to harden. Then the swollen hominy is ground up to the texture of tiny pellets. When boiled with water, milk and butter it becomes a cereal similar to cream of wheat. It's used as a side dish for a good old fashioned Southern breakfast.

right next to the oatmeal, right underneath the cream of wheat.

I think it's kinda like porridge, duder.

grits and hominy rule...puts manly hair on your chest...not no weakass blond strings...I'm talkin' THICK, black, shag carpet.

I'd give it a go.

What sort of accompanying condiments are we talking here?

SHARPPIE · Post by **SHARPPIE** » 04 Apr 2007, 15:04

butter, salt, hot sauce...garlic & cheese sometimes.

Not even the most ardent lover of grits would think of eating it alone. Basically it is an insipid mass, much like mashed potatoes. But add butter and salt or any one of the many tasty items found particularly in the South and you're on your way to a pleasant experience. The Southerner's devotion to grits is really meant for grits-and-gravy, grits-and-ham, grits-and-sausage, grits-and-eggs, grits-with-meat-and-cheese and so on ad infinitum. One of the most pleasant grits offerings is to be found in the New Orleans area under the name of ''Grits 'n Grillades''; it consists of thin strips of beef, cooked in oil in a skillet and seasoned with a variety of herbs and condiments known to the Gulf Coast country, served on a bed of grits that has been boiled to a thickness capable of supporting the meat. It is sometimes on the brunch menu of the Caribb ean Room of the Hotel Pontchartrain on St. Charles Avenue , for about $6.25.

I do grits and hot sauce...

but basically grits taste of nothing

it's just a hot sauce flavored mush.

judasmuppet · Post by **judasmuppet** » 04 Apr 2007, 15:09

Grits 'n Grillades sounds good.

What about molasses?

SHARPPIE · Post by **SHARPPIE** » 04 Apr 2007, 15:14

I've never tried that, but throw in some bacon and it sounds like I'd give it a go.

Anyone ever had chitlins or collard greens?

These are pretty damn Texan, if my source is correct.

I think my highlight was when overnight dairy man was eavesdropping on some girls and I talking about drinking. When my age was brought up, he did a double take that nearly knocked over a shelf of green tea.
