Have you ever tried grits

I don't like oatmeal or cream of wheat so count me out. I am still trying to figure out the boiled peanut thing lolol.

I have never eaten them, but my husband is from the south and he loves them. He gave me taste once and I wasn't impressed with the taste. But he eats them all the time.

I am sorry I do not understand what grits are?? I really would like to know what grits are as maybe we call them a different name so could you please let me know as I am very interested to know.

I love southern cooking....but I have to admitt I never tried grits.I'm not even sure how to fix it.It would be great if you could post how you make them.I'm not afraid to try new things and who knows.....I might just like it.

Yes, I have had grits but then my father and his family were from the south, Kentucky. I didn't care for them myself but my Grandmother made them from time to time because she loved them. We also had them whenever we went to visit family in Kentucky. What I loved was Grandma's "fried corn" and I don't know how she made it but it was so good, sugar and butter I think and then fried it in a pan but I'm not sure. It was different than other people's corn I know that.

of course I've had grits, I'm from the south. I love them with lots of butter. Some people put syrup on them too. I can't do that cuz I'm diabetic. I laugh when people don't know what grits are... I won't eat just anything. I'm the pickiest eater there is... and it pisses me off that people say that about the south. I've been lots of places and I won't eat red meat and being from the south doesn't mean crap.

My Dad always made us eat grits growing up. I never knew it was a southern dish until I got older. It doesn't make much sense to me since he was born and raised in Northern PA. My kids love grits. I never made homemade grits though. I get the little packets from Quaker.

I love southern food. I love my grits with butter. Fried green tomatoes and pinto beans. If I didn't know I was born in New York City I could call me southern. LOL

I was raised eating grits and have hated them all my life. My kids love them, my wife loves them, my parents and brothers love them, but I hate them. The only way I will eat them is if I mix in some bacon and eggs. My family always put mustard, cheese, butter and other stuff in with them...I just don't like them.

I amfrom Texas and I like grits! a little salt, pepper, and butteer and You have breakfast, With or without eggs ands buscuits.

Grits are good!! Bacon, eggs, biscuits, and grits make a wonderful breakfast! I can remember eating dandelion greens when my mom fixed them and thinking they were good. I've seen a lot of people turn their noses up at even the thought of eating them. I don't think I could handle snails but I hear some people consider them a delicacy.

Well I do think I have had grits before but i really don't know what it truly is... I think they are good though from what i remember but its just one of those things that confuse me. I thought a lot of black people ate grits, maybe thats just a stereotype up here in New York but i don't know. Another thing that confuses me is why so many people don't know what grits are. Including me. But yeah people eat different stuff in different parts of the country. That or they call the food something different. For example, Hoagie vs. Sub, Coke vs. Soda vs. Pop. And then you got the competition between New York pizza and any other pizza in the country. But the best pizza in the nation got voted to be in phoenix, arizona. How random is that? hahahah. Good Discussion...

Sothern food can be a real shock to someone who is not used to it. I grew up in an area populated heavy with Italians and Polish people, so culturally that is the kind of food I am used to. Moving here made me try new things. Grits aren't my favorite, and I don't like black eyes peas at all. But I find I like pintos, and some other foods. Here they have a tendency to put cole slaw on everything, and my stomach just can't handle it. I can't wait to take a trip home just so I can get some good Italian and Polish food, well, that and see my family. I will try anything once, if I don't like it I won't eat it again.

I have been in the South for my whole life, grits are amazing. I feel a deep sorrow for anyone who has not tried grits. Getting people from the North to try grits is one of the most entertaining things to do. I have done it countless times and got replies from "I'll never try that again," to "OMG How have I lived this long without this!"

I have heard of grits quite a few times but I have never tasted them , Are they like oatmeal or more like porridge oats? i do like to try new things though xx

I grew up in Florida and Yes I had Grits. I miss them. Dumb Northerners here dont have Grits! Oh,Geez, WHY am I being so CRITICAL!!?? I just miss the goodness outta grits, that,s all.... Grits are Rulers of Breakfast!

I too grew up in the south. I love grits! My husband moved to the south from up north and had never heard of grits! He has learned to like them. How do you like yours? I like just a dab of butter and sugar. Smetimes I leave off the sugar.

LOL, actually i don't know what grits are and i haven't even taste it. this is the first time i heard about it.

I haven't tried grits but would try them if I have the chance.

I have eaten grits all my life. They are wonderful with cheese...mmmmmmm
