Grits...I eat them with butter, sugar and milk. I love 'em this way, however I was born and raised in Pennsylvania so what do I really know? Am I doing the grits thing completely wrong???
If so, someone tell me once and for all how the heck I'm SUPPOSED to be eating them?
Oh, and another southern food question...what is hash made out of?
Thanks!

Couldn't tell ya about the hash...
Grits are nasty to me, but I am from the south, so I am immersed in them. Most people down here eat grits with lots of butter, salt, pepper, and sometimes cheese. I had never heard of people eating grits with sugar til I went to New York. I thought grits + sugar was oatmeal?
LOL! Oh yeah, it is a breakfast food, mostly.
Grits are jus that...grits, lol. I am not sure exactly WHAT they are, crushed cornmeal or something. I really have no clue.
When I went up north for the first time a while back, I was with some friends (all from the south of course). We went out for breakfast and one of my girls ordered grits. The server was like "What is a grit?" LOL! Just to let y'all know, there is no such thing as a singular grit. It would be like saying "pass me a grain of salt please."
