The Grits Appreciation Thread
Ok, so I've been in the South for about 6 months, and they're really starting to grow on me (although I do still occasionally put sugar on them)
What's your favorite way to eat grits?

With any or a combination of the following: plain, bacon, cheese, butter, sausage, eggs [think Krystal Scrambler], or a little syrup. I prefer the real slow cooked kind, but the instant will work too.
They're so much better than cream of wheat

I can't stand instant grits. I like the real thing loaded with butter, along with a big plate of ham and eggs. Yummmmmy!

A true southerner never puts sugar on grits, that just ruins them! 
I've lived in South Georgia all my life. I didn't like grits until last year though. A guy that lived next door to me cooked Beer Can chicken and grits for us one night. I tried the grits and I loved them! I still can't stomach instant grits, but I love the slow cooked ones. The only thing I put on mine is butter.

I had this dish at a Charleston restaurant that I'll never forget; a pile of grits with shrimp on top and the whole thing was just swimming in melted butter. Makes me hungry just thinking about it!
What I really love about Southern cooks is how passionate they are about everything that comes out of their kitchen tasting good. And they're never stingy with the butter!

I used to eat grits all the time until I developed a corn allergy.  I can still eat a little, but I'll get sick if I OD on it like I used to. I like it simple - mixed with butter and bacon pieces on the top.

For Brownies or something we had to get a "southern" badge and they made us eat grits. I remember hating them.
However going to school in West Virginia, people seem to love them. Maybe I should give grits another shot and see if my tastebuds have changed in the past 13 years.

Plain (which really means with butter and salt), with cheese, fried (like when other cultures fry polenta), and as the base for shrimp & grits or grillades & grits. It cracks me up that all these "new south" chefs are making grits all fancy by adding all this other stuff like herbs, etc. and serving them with hi-falutin entrees. I've never tried them with sugar or anything like that - I really can't imagine how that would taste.
