5. Never had it

With red eye gravy

[Laffy Kat]

6. I rarely meet someone who has.

It's very southern and therefore bad for you, LOL. Loaded with salt and a splash of strong coffee if it's made correctly.

The video is long, so skip over to about 12 minutes. Also, I would never put flour in it, traditional red-eye gravy is thin. Yummy!

7. Free tip: add chicken bouillon powder to the water you boil the grits in.

I'll also bounce the shrimp off a skillet and into the grits two minutes before serving. Let the grits cook them.

9. Porridge/grits/gruel/polenta/mush, no, no, no.

Edible only if you are as desperate as Oliver Twist.

10. Must be stone ground yellow corn grits

[Falcata]

13. Personally I turn my white grits

yellow with butter. Then combine that with Neese's sausage.

14. It's more than about color

Hominy grits are made white from soaking the dried corn in a lye solution. This frees up some of the nutrients in the corn and makes it more nutritious, but it changes the flavor and texture as well. Nothing wrong with it, but I just prefer yellow corn grits as that's what I was raised with.

11. I grew up on grits...

I don't even recognize them in that picture, Floyd!

Both of my parents were from South Carolina originally. The best is to chop your sausage patty up in them on your plate, or break the yolk of your fried egg over them. Butter and pepper. With fresh tomatoes on the side in summer (making me want some now!) When we were really poor, you had canned sardines with your grits....not one of my favorites.
