This is the Conversation Forum for Great International Breakfast Dishes grt int breakfasts >> Subject: What are grits? Posted Apr 25, 2003 by Kelli - 89/89 pre-babies weight reached. 7/21 to wedding weight   Posting 1 I was offered grits a couple of times when I was visiting the states but they didn't look like the same dish at all. What are grits made of, and how should they look? Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: What are grits? Posted Apr 25, 2003 by Amy: ear-deep in novels, poetics, and historical documents. This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 I've never actually had them, but my uni's dining hall serves them often (US Northerner going to school in the South). I always think they look sorta like very fine cottage cheese, but sort of grey rather than white. I haven't the slightest clue what they're made of, and don't intend to find out.

There are 'Corn' grits and 'horminy' grits. They can be used in recipes for bbq, meats, breads, breakfast, samiches, casseroles, seafood, deserts, soups and salads among other stuff. There is an interesting website on grits on the net. In fact there are more than one. But I am not sure whether I am allowed to mention the site address on here.

My mom did this once, I'm not sure how, but basically she put it in a small 5 inch long by 3 inch wide by 3 inch deep pan and let it set until is was kinda firm, like a think pudding, and then sliced and fried it... then it was served with maple syrup... oh man it was good, but she hasn't done it since, unfortunately...

Posted Nov 13, 2007 by thefairlyamazingone This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 11 You may have all moved on in your lives, and put your quest for the true nature of grits behind you. But if not...In my family grits are fairly disgusting greasy masses of greyness. They involve salt pork, apples, oatmeal, and various spices. First you boil this mixture to cook it the first time, and after that you fry however much you plan on eating. It has a sheen to it, and a quite distinctive smell. There's another kind of grits too, but I don't know anything about them... Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
