The rest I know and sounds tasty, but what the Heck is "Grits" ???

The rest I know and sounds tasty, but what the Heck is "Grits" ???

Grits refers to a ground-corn food of Native American origin, that is common in the Southern United States and mainly eaten at breakfast. Modern grits are commonly made of alkali-treated corn known as hominy.

Grits are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta or the thinner farina. "Instant grits" have been processed to speed cooking.

The word "grits" derives from the Old English word "grytt," meaning coarse meal. This word originally referred to wheat and other porridges now known as groats in parts of the UK. Maize, unknown in Europe in the Middle Ages, is a food derived from corn (a New World plant) and "corn" had been used to describe wheat products in many European regions. "Grits" may be either singular or plural; historically, in the American South the word was invariably singular notwithstanding its plural form (cf. such food names as "spaghetti" or "linguine", likewise plural in form, but singular in use). Sometimes, grits are called sofkee or sofkey (from a native American Muskogee word).[

Grits have their origins in Native American corn preparation. Traditionally, the hominy for grits was ground by a stone mill. The results are passed through screens, with the finer sifted materials being grit meal, and the coarser being grits. Many communities in the United States used a gristmill until the mid-twentieth century, with families bringing their own corn to be ground, and the miller retaining a portion of the corn as a fee. In South Carolina, state law requires grits and corn meal to be enriched, similar to the requirements for flour, unless the grits are ground from corn from which the miller keeps part of the product for a fee.

Three-quarters of grits sold in the U.S. are sold in the South, throughout an area stretching from Texas to Virginia, sometimes referred to as the "grits belt". The state of Georgia declared grits its official prepared food in 2002. Similar bills have been introduced in South Carolina, with one declaring:

Whereas, throughout its history, the South has relished its grits, making them a symbol of its diet, its customs, its humor, and its hospitality, and whereas, every community in the State of South Carolina used to be the site of a grits mill and every local economy in the State used to be dependent on its product; and whereas, grits has been a part of the life of every South Carolinian of whatever race, background, gender, and income; and whereas, grits could very well play a vital role in the future of not only this State, but also the world, if as Charleston's The Post and Courier proclaimed in 1952, "An inexpensive, simple, and thoroughly digestible food, [grits] should be made popular throughout the world. Given enough of it, the inhabitants of planet Earth would have nothing to fight about. A man full of [grits] is a man of peace."

Above from wikipedia. And here's an online recipe:

I serve grits with both sweet and savory accompaniments (see "ingredients"). I often prepare this for overnight guests. Some people choose to make a hearty meal with eggs and cheese, while others like to add butter, syrup, nuts and/or jam for a sweet dish.

Either way, it's fun to serve something that allows each diner to invent their own creation. Sometimes guests like to have a dish of grits garnished with something sweet, then go for a heftier serving with eggs and cheese.

Warning: this makes grits lovers out of everyone!

Wow, Corn Porridge. I'm a Savory type of Person rather than Sweet. I must drop in and try some on my next visit, although Corn acts as a Laxative for me

=D> =D> Thanks for sharing

They're not much on their own, but put a little butter, salt and pepper in them along side some bacon and eggs, then they're pretty tasty.

Yeah, kinda like medicine just plain, but doctored up with butter and salt... and/or cheese, they're dandy. Maybe grits are our equavilent of Marmite?

Stopped in yesterday evening with my youngest daughter. We had fish and chips and chili. Both excellent. Had a brief look at Dan's red Mustang convertible, nice car.

I like 'em with crumbled sausage patties mixed in. Or some red-eye gravy. You familiar with that?
As far as the Marmite, I've heard of it being compared to peanut butter. That's a bit of a stretch for me

Delirium Tremens
Had this brew recommended to me by a Flemish mate when I told him that I was going for a Sunday Sip at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Melbourne's Southbank district a few months ago. A lovely beer that more than lives up to its name although the delirium kicked in early when the first shout of 4, 330ml bottles cost me $52 Ozzie Dollars (bit over 1500B or 375B a stubby). Spent the afternoon sampling many fine Belgian beers, getting smashed and contemplating how much further my dollars would go if I was drinking in the fine city of Udon.
Just out of interest Bubba what do you charge for a small Delirium Tremens?

This was posted on another thread, but since it was specifically directed to me, and NOT wanting to be accused of trying to highjack someone else's thread, I'll answer here.

We've been selling 7 - 10 different Belgian Biers for over a year now. It's not a huge part of our business, but it has been greatly appreciated by a few discerning, and not so cost conscious beverage drinkers. The Delirium Tremens has been priced at 195b per 330ml bottle. At 11% alcohol content it's almost like a "2fer", but it's the taste, not the high percentage that hooks most drinkers.

Regarding pricing, we have not reordered since the most recent tax hike, so this MAY change in the future, but certainly nowhere near 375b per bottle!!! We'll continue to stock these, and maybe a few new additions, as long as there is a demand.

Our other Belgian products are priced 110b - 210b each. And you can try them NOW! Our most popular, by far, has been Duvel. A lovely full bodied Golden Ale with 8.5% ABV. Side note, "Duvel" in Flemmish means Devil!

Sorry, didn't feel like driving into town today...........way to many drunks on the road.

Assuming you'll be open tomorrow, might stop-by for breakfast (more like brunch) before the horseraces!!
