Grits, a Staple.

I might like sweet things... ;-) *sticks tongue out at you*

I like to put Polenta in mine.

I love grits...........especially with lots of butter, salt and pepper. I have a recipe for shrimp and grits that calls for lots of parmesan cheese and butter in the grits.................served them to company who said they would never eat grits and guess what........they loved them!

NO SUGAR!! But butter, and cheese. And Shrimp & Grits sounds divine.

My farmboy hubby prefers his eggs over-easy, and would have no idea what to do with the yolks if he didn't have grits on the plate.

I think you might need to ask Allifunn.

Butter, chicken broth, half & half, sharp cheddar.
For the shrimp part: sauteed green peppers, onions, garlic and green onions with white wine. Plop in some un cooked shrimp at the last minute and you have great shrimp and grits.

I adore the Callaway Gardens speckled grits Triple Crown Product. They are the best! I like grits with a little butter, a little salt, and a lot of black pepper. Oh, and like Shallowsfuzz, they're even better next to a fried egg so I can dip the grits in the yolk. That's why at Red Bar for breakfast I always order fried eggs/grits/bacon/wheat toast. Hey, Shallowsnole, does Shallowsfuzz sop up the rest of the yolk with his bread/biscuit? YUM-MY!

What kind of southerner are you?

I agree I sop everything my chocolate gravy in my biscuits, biscuit and deer meat,toast and egg yolk my 6 year old even says the best way to eat grill cheese is "scooped up" in soup. Come on DD surely you sop a little.

I make mine with real butter, and sharp cheddar cheese. I have a Fish and Grits night for dinner at my house about once a week.

I can't wait to try Allifunns' Shrimp and Grits. YUMMY!

Ok..I'll give you the biscuits and gravy..nothing better. But it has to be cream gravy--kinda on the thick side. I guess it's a texture/consistency thing. I just don't really like wet bread. I'll eat most stuff like pancakes, but put some bread pudding in front of me and it'll make me hurl. Can't explain it. Eggs/yolks are just vile and when you sop the bread in them, well, I'd just as soon eat something like....oh, I don't know.......broccoli.

Just butter and salt, and then a little more butter .
BTW, Great Southern's grits are worth going for.

Well, you have never had my famous White Chocolate Bread Pudding have you? I will have to make you some, and you will change your mind about hurling. ;-)

I'm with DD. Not crazy about runny yolks anyway, but I will scoop grits up in my toasted bread (lately a croissant) and then strategically place a piece of bacon on top! The perfect breakas samich!

I hear you - I only do runny yolks w/ hashbrowns - all other eggs must be FULLY cooked! Hate runny scrambled eggs.

Big issue in our family. Papa Scooterbug cooks eggs and takes his portion, then Mama Scooterbug or I go into the kitchen and continue cooking the eggs. :roll:

You just never now what you are going to learn.

All this egg talk is gonna make me hurl. Can't stand 'em. Runny yolks=vile. Runny whites=Projectile hurling.

p.s...Mr. DD does the ketchup thing with scrambled too. yuck.

OK, this thread is making me drool. I love grits (and polenta). Really good grits can bring tears to my eyes.
