Grits are akin to Elmer Paste with less flavor and more sand. Grits are a travesty, an evil, perpetrated by the South against the North in our never-ending War Between the States. If you were served this dish as a child, you would have been psychologically traumatized. They are the most foul-tasting gruel that has ever been invented by one group and foisted on another group of humans. This "dish" is used as a way of showing that the day can't get any worse. Look at how, as if further proof is needed, many people prefer to eat them; heavily salted and floating in a tub of butter, covered in gravy, cheese, or other substances -- all in a vain effort to fool the tortured soul eating them into thinking the taste and texture might possibly be edible!

Shrimp and grits is a common lowcountry breakfast dish. You would find it in a Savannah or Charleston restaurant. Grits might look like Cream of Wheat on television, but in person they don't look quite so creamy. I love grits! It's a bit chilly this morning and some hot grits would be just the thing. Tara |

Yep. It tastes a lot like Cream of Wheat. That's a good thing for people like me who like Cream of Wheat, but so good for its detractors. |

From Epicurious.com:
hominy is dried white or yellow corn kernels from which the hull and germ have been removed. This process is done either mechanically or chemically by soaking the corn in slaked lime or lye. ... When ground, it's called hominy grits - or simply grits - and usually comes in three grinds - fine, medium and coarse. Hominy grits are generally simmered with water or milk until very thick. The mixture can be served in this mushlike form or chilled, cut into squares and fried. In the South, grits are served as a side dish for breakfast or dinner. The ones you saw that looked like cream of wheat must have been made from white corn; I think yellow corn grits are more common in some places, which is why some people have no idea what you're talking about. Grits are rather bland but are a nice base for hot sauce. Hominy not ground up, that is, left as whole kernels, is used in pozole, a Mexican soup with a pork base. Polenta is cornmeal, pretty similar to grits but I don't know if the hull has been removed or not. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Louis Cohen Living la vida loca at N37° 43' 7.9" W122° 8' 42.8" "sandy" > wrote in message .. . > Today I was watch a show on Food network.....with Tyler,,,and he was making > grits,,,,,,,to me it looked like Cream of Wheat, he served shrimp over > it,,,,,,am I wrong here??,,,,,,,I'm in Canada,,,,never saw grits, but it > sure does look like Cream of Wheat......Help me...thank you! > > |

Well made grits >have a flavor resembling fresh corn tortillas. From the Quaker web site: "1) What are grits? Grits are made from the milling of corn kernels. The first step in the process is to clean the kernels; then, the grains are steamed for a short time to loosen the tough outer hull. The grain kernel is split, which removes the hull and germ, leaving the broken endosperm. Heavy steel rollers break up the endosperm into granules, which are separated by a screening process. The large-size granules are the grits; the smaller ones become cornmeal and corn flour." |

Grits are made from both corn and hominy and each type has its own distinctive flavor. Texture varies from very fine to granular, depending on the milling. Wayne |

Yes, grits look very much like cream of wheat. But the taste is different and traditionally they are savory, not sweet. That is, southerners have a caniption fit if you eat them like hot cereal with sugar or syrup on them. But you can do it and probably get away with it if you're in Canada. Anyway, I like cheese grits which I then douse with a little Frank's Hot Sauce. This is the way I eat them when I have a "southern" or "soul food" breakfast. I've also had them with Virginia ham and redeye gravy, and in a casserole with shrimp. Yum. I also make a grits casserole with sausage, diced green chiles, cheddar cheese, etc. One of these days I'm going to have them with butter and maple syrup just to rile up them southerners! (P. S. It's okay because I'm half southern on my daddy's side.)

However, a traditional southern "sweet" dish is made from left over grits; mush. Take the left over plain grits (or make them specifically to turn into mush), put in a loaf pan until solidified. Remove from pan, slice like you would a meat loaf, and pan fry in butter. Serve topped with butter and syrup or molasses (I prefer sorghum molasses). |

For some the term grits can refer to any ground grain, especially corn. For normal people, it means hominy grits which are more commonly called just grits. When grits lovers eat grits, they're eating hominy grits - not corn meal. Hominy ground large is samp. Hominy ground smaller is grits. Charlie |

Ruins the delicate flavor of the grits. IMHO, of course. Charlie, not a big chile eater |

You can buy it in instant packages made by Quaker Oats. Or the regular
Grits. People in the South eat lots of Grits, cereal, or gravys over it. My Hubby is from the South and we have Grits in place of a potato or rice with our main meal. He likes butter or marjorine on his. It is a low-sodium food made from corn. shirley |

Grits are fine. I'm from the North and they're no worse than lutefisk. In fact I'd vote for them being somewhat better. Mike Beede |
