Re: I Can't Find Grits at the Grocery Store.

[karl]

After all the talk about grits here, I impulsively bought a box a month or two ago. Ain't worked up the courage to try em yet. Notice that the young'un helping us out have buried them in the very back of the pantry.
As I relearn "the single life" :'( :'( they will surface and I will try 'em.

Actually saw grits on the menu at Denny's last weekend. Wondered if DanG would approve but didn't have the nerve to try em :D

"Re: I can't find Grits at the Grocery Store.", must be they know better. Tried them once, enough is enough. However for those who like them, DO IT WITH PURE MAPLE SYRUP AND LOTS OF IT! Don't listen to the ten commands, PURE MAPLE SYRUP MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER! 8) 8) 8)

Pour enough of that golden syrop on anything and it'll come out tasting real good. :D

We aren't sure exactly what is going to happen to poor FDH when he finds there is no way to find grits in the store here. I think they are stopped at the border as some kind of illegal substance.

I do have a bag that we are working on from FDH. I will admit, under constraint, that we eat them on Sunday mornings - probably as a form of penance. Our cook won't cook them but we are on our own on the weekends.

Just a quick aside - we had a visitor last week for lunch and she after seeing a formal meal presented, asked, "Do you always eat like this." We sheeplessly admitted we do. Imagine having a full-time person who aspires to be a chef who once cooked in a restaurant. She is really really good! But she won't cook grits.  :D

Anyway, we figure if you bury them in enough cheese and serve with a side of sliced ripe tomatoes - it is worth eating.

I figured I had to come clean because Harold is going to come down and see the grits gone and I'll have to explain.

Uh Fred... Don't you know by now that dad will bring his own grits with him?? I figure that by the time he runs out, he maybe coming back for a visit and I'll have some more for him to take back.  ;D ;D ;D

[crtreedude]

I am going to have customs search his luggage for toxic materials - the grits will never make it...  ;)

[Teri]

:D :D :D

Toxic  ???  Then 'splain to me why YOU eat them?  :D

[crtreedude]

Like I said - penance....

[Teri]

I should have known better than to ask you a question like that.   :

What's all the fuss about grits?.............Yall' scroll back to reply #21. Dana has hit it right on the money! Now that's a yankee that knows good eatin'.  ;D Who ever heard of putting sugar on grits? Or comparing them to cream of wheat, malt-o-meal or oat meal?  ??? Grits sets off a good breakfast of eggs and sausage, bacon or ham. Try to eat some grits this way and next thing you know you'll probably get a craven for oysters on the half shell. :

[sawguy21]

I happen to really like fresh oysters on the half shell ;D
