Linda found these Jim Dandy grits in the local dollar store.
Do you have these in the south?

I saw Ray's reaction and realized that he prefers a different brand:


 
He is a Quaker man but Linda did OK with the Jim Dandy. :)

That Breakfast looks good, and yes we have Jim Dandy.  Our preference is yellow instead of white grits but restaurants only serve white.

Fried spam is tasty, but probably not too good for you, like a lot of things.  

Pete, do you mash those runny yolk eggs and swirl them into the grits?  That is a good way to do it.  Some of us down South ate grits because we grew up poor and we ate them because that is what we had.  

Most other people would have, too.  But there are a few (at least one Northern Type that I know of) that would have just starved.

There were many times when grits and mush (cooked cornmeal) was the only thing between us and hungry.  :-\

We ate corn up here. Could not afford the machinery to grind it.  :D 
The Farm kept food on our table. Lots of veggies.  :'(

Spam was a Yankee developed product. Jeff's version appears dry. The southern adaptation and upgrade would include frying the spam in bacon grease; thereby increasing its appeal to nearly the level of our native fried bologna. Of course neither rise to the level of the consummate breakfast treat of Country Ham :D


petefrom bearswamp

Danny, didnt mix the yolk into the grits, just dabbed my toast into them.
Grits, just butter, salt and pepper.
Mom used to bake spam just like a ham, with a glaze and cloves stuck into it.
Also sandwiches.
I first had fried baloney in Newfoundland while moose hunting, not a favorite of mine.
I think I like Bob's Red Mill polenta AKA grits best

   Okay, time to chime in. IRT the original request about Jim Dandy brand grits they were always very popular where I grew up in NW Fla. I don't know of any issues with them. I checked and see we have part of a bag of Quaker grits left. It seems to me like Martha White even made grits but I could be mistaken about that. Of course none of them are as good as the home ground coarse yellow grits my old mentor made (He had them ground at a mill over in Atmore Ala) and served with fish and game. We ate them just like others do rice or potatoes for lunch or dinner. 


 This a pack of Geechee Boy stone ground grits from Edisto Island SC just below Charleston that my wife's cousin from near Akron OH dropped off a week or so back. (I guess in the current climate of political correctness this name will also have to change pretty soon. ::)) They are pretty good for store bought, white grits. I am partial to yellow grits in case you have not picked up on this fact.

  A grit eating purist will typically only put a little butter, salt and pepper on their grits and maybe some redeye gravy. I know true southerners will sometimes break up a runny fried egg yolk and eat with it. Since I am not a fried egg eater and never eat runny yolks,  I don't eat mine that way but a little hard scrambled egg mixed in is okay. Folks putting sugar in them should be immediately banished from civilized society as uncouth and uncultured. (I am still not sure whether it was sugar in the grits or Yankees wearing plaid Bermuda shorts, Panama hats, black socks and sandals that actually led to the outbreak of hostilities back around 1860.)

   One explanation for the term Fla, Ga, Ala or Southern Cracker came from the fact they cracked their corn to make their grits. (In Fla the cattlemen used long whips they cracked to drive cattle from the brush so that is another source sometimes used for the term.)
