Grits is much better anywho ;> However, I'd never recommend "plain"

Considering savory vs. sweet, I wonder if there's some sort of way to
present grits as a 'sweet' ingredient - and I imagine there is/are!
Akin to bread-pudding perhaps ? The possibilities are not limited <G>

First, I'll confess to being a Yankee, and preferring my grits with
butter, milk & sugar.

But I also use them in cookies for the texture. I used them as a
sub for semolina once in my Melomakarona cookies-- and stuck with it
in subsequent batches.

i eat it like breaakfast cereal, make the grits, add butter,
sugar/brownsugar/cinnamon and dried fruit, usually rasins or dried
cranberries, a little milk or cream. Lee

Isn't "chess pie" one with cornmeal in the filling? I dunno, never
tried it. I love mush, though, which is polenta, sort of - chilled,
fried and served with butter and syrup.

I usually see bags of "grits" or bags of "polenta"... but I found this
one a couple of hours ago. I guess that answers my question

Both are the same thing, corn meal.

Grits and polenta are not ingredients, both are the name of a cooked
dish/a recipe made with corn meal. Polenta is just the Italian
language word for grits, both dishes are exactly the same, with all
their permutations.

Not really. Permutations, certainly. But corn grits are not the same as
polenta or even plain ground cornmeal.

Sorry, I meant to write corn meal mush... grits are hominy.
