   My wife got up and fixed us breakfast today and I noticed as we ate and got to thinking about different ways people eat their grits. I just put a pat of butter on the plate, covered it with grits till melted then stirred and ate mine. Becky added butter to hers then crumbled her bacon up into small pieces and mixed with her grits. I have seen people mix their grits with over easy eggs and stir everything up and eat them that way. Others mix hard scrambled eggs with their grits. Becky's aunt was raised in Alabama and should know better but she has spent so much time up in Northern Ohio she now adds sugar to hers - definitely not a traditional southern way to eat grits. When we have cheese grits with a fish fry I don't add anything else. Occasionally my wife will take cold grits, slice them into squares, dip in eggs then flour and fry them.

I  wonder how many people make death bed confessions that they lied about liking grits.....

I usually eat grits with fried eggs or soft boiled eggs.  Either way, I add the butter to the grits while they're cooking.  With fried eggs, I put the grits and eggs side by side, and with boiled eggs, I add the eggs to a bowl of grits.

   I think the results will show they are good with anything. Adding something to them is like icing a cake, adding ice cream to a slice of pie, or adding your favorite spice, sauce or dressing to you other favorite dishes.

I let them congeal just a bit and eat them from the edges in with a fork.

About as often as you would eat mashed potatoes with no salt, butter or gravy.   ;)

How right you are DanG.  :)
Magicman,yes,the box that the grits came in was opened. But the box of grits remains my lifetime supply of grits.   ;D  In fact,I tried to find that same box of grits in my cupboard. No luck. Maybe it vaporized after it realized it should not be this far North.

I defy you to find one topic on the forum started to praise mashed potatoes or asking "How do ya'll eat your mashed potatoes?"

My grandpa ate a bowl of grits for breakfast everyday without exception. I'm not everyday but probably 90% of my days start with a big bowl of grits thin and runny swimming in loads of butter and sugar.  8)

I eat 'em like they were trying to get away.

Usually eat 'em  with lots of butter and Tony"s Cajun seasoning.  Also cheese grits or cheese grits and shrimp.  Not really a bad way to eat grits.  Momma used to make what we called cold fried grits.  Take the leftover grits from breakfast, or make a batch just for this, and spread them out in a flat pan about half an inch thick.  Let them set up then cut into squares and fry them in bacon grease.  Yummy.  Haven't had that in a long time.  May have to make some this next week.

WLC,

   You did not learn to eat grits like that in Alaska. Fess up - where did you develop so much culture.

    My wife has a niece there in Wasilla who spent several years in Alabama. May she has been giving cooking classes.

Good ole southern boy here, just transplanted to the frozen north about 11 years ago.  Called Georgia home the first 40 years of my life and learnt all my bad habits there. :D

It's be funny if I knew your niece, We actually live just outside of Wasilla.

ETA: We actually get grits, REAL grits, sent up here from my mom and dad.  There is a water turned grist mill near where I grew up that has been in continuous operation since 1876.  They make good grits on those old grind stones.
