Prepared properly, with or without cheese, them grits is some fiiiiiine eatin', man! Don't diss the Grit
They'd probably taste good with a rib-eye stacked on them too. Eat the cheese without the grits, tastes the same. Save the calories

Grits are the by-product left when everything worth eating is taken out of corn, including the flavor. What is left is a tasteless, ordorless, pile of white that takes on the flavor of whatever you put on it. So they are 'good' if what you put on them is good. Chocolate is the anti-grit. Whatever you put it on tastes good. May the twain never meet.

I never could understand why people liked grits...now I understand. It's like a duty.
"We can't throw this out, that would be a waste. Eat it. Pretend you like it." umm. Yes. Pork rinds, hominy, pigs knuckles, tripe...ugh. |

Um, my Scottish heritage forces me to say that oatmeal should also be served with butter, salt and pepper. And don't give me none of them Quaker Instant Oats, neither. And save your milk for your Cherios.

Even descended as I am from one of the men transported to the Colonies from Scotland after the Battle of Worcester in 1651, I will confess I have never eaten my oats with pepper - whether they be extra thick rolled oats (Bob's Big Red Barn brand are primo) or steel cut. I'm a brown sugar, butter, and milk person m'self.

Never happen in my kitchen. Rolled oats? Yes. Barley? No.

What's happened to Joebear? We haven't heard from him for ages. Also, where's Del. Did he fly south for the summer?

I think Del flew into one too many roadsigns along the way.
He tends to wander off for a while. Might be lost? |
