…. GRITS. No, not Girls Raised In The South. That’s for another time. I am talking about that southron culinary treat, Fried Grits!

Take your leftover grits from breakfast and put them in a pan. Let them set up all day, then turn them out on a cutting board. The grits should be very firm and about 1/2" thick. Cut them into squares, about the size of a playing card. Coat them with flour, dredge them in a milk and egg mixture, then coat with flour a second time. Pan fry them. Umm-Umm Good!

Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Most pour maple syrup on them. Some use sorghum molasses. Me? I like mine plain. I just like savory. Makes a good supper time meal!

Sounds less than appetizing to me.

Realizing this comes from a "damnyankee" (ME), I've done fried grits. I take left over grits (I love the things!) and mix them with crumbled biscuits and a beaten egg, salt, pepper and bacon crumbles (if I have them). Shape into patties and fry in olive oil (or lard,if yer heart'll take it). Great for any meal.

I like mine with sausage crumbled in it.

I feel so sorry for some people.

Even if you paid me I wouldn't be able to locate leftover grits. But I can supply the syrup.

Let me start by saying on behalf of all northern boys. Grits are shit. Shame on you

They look like shxx also.

I'm one of those "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" which means I eat grits when I'm down here in Flo-ri-duh.
I wouldn't eat 'em up north.

What surprises me is that in the midwest where there are cornfields as far as the eye can see, they don’t even know what grits are.

To be honest I like grits, preferably creamed, but I have not eaten any in a long time. They just are not paleo.

yours is white? I suggest you go see the doc.

That’s because in the Midwest they are raising corn syrup, ethanol and silage, not actual food.
Though, to be fair....I’m not sure hominy or grits ARE human food.

We use it for fuel and corn not ground up. And as feed .

Hominy….I have not eaten that in many, many years. As best that I can recollect they taste about like styrofoam kernels.

And just to thicken the plot…..

I grew up in an area of the Carolina’s that rarely ate grits. Yes, I have had them, cooked in many ways, but our breakfast grain was … rice.

There is a type of rich called Carolina Gold. It has been grown in the area since the revolutionary time. Typically it is creamed and served with gravy. One of my favorite breakfasts is eggs, liver mush, rice and gravy. Not on my diet, but it gets eaten almost every time I go back to the family land. It’s funny that where I live now grits are available at every joint that serves breakfast, rice is never seen, and I am only about an hours drive north and east of where i grew up. Curiosity got the better of me and I actually researched why. I think that might be when I joined K.O.O.K.S. (Keepers of odd knowledge society)

@histed , they don’t have good BBQ here either, although there is one joint that makes passable BBQ. When / if you get down here we will take a side trip and get the good stuff!

And the liver mush I mentioned? Good stuff, but that’s a subject for another thread!

 

[Rerun]

Alrighty!

GRITS!

@greg_r - Me thinks your liver mush is probably an inferior copy of scrapple. There are as many receipts for that as there are people who make it

"Leftover" is the hard part.
