Bein' a true Southerner, I refuse to lower myself to eat instant grits, Sir. I prefer Jim Dandy brand slow cooked for at least 20 minutes with LOTS of real butter in them. You can drop a little American White cheese in them if you like cheese grits. Over medium fried eggs with hot sausage and a biscuit and you've a good breakfast. Welcome to Georgia!
I agree and if I feel like a spicy version I add garlic and pepper cheese. Excellent.

The quick grits aren't that bad in a pinch and if you don't have 20 minutes or so to cook the real ones. But then, maybe you need to slow down and smell your breakfast cooking, never mind the roses.
I agree with you fully but sorry to say that is the only thing the grocery stores sell up here.

First time i ate grits i stopped to eat dinner on the NC VA border. Decided to have breakfast for supper. Tried grits instead of my usual taters. Had to ask the waitress how to eat them. They were pretty good with maple syrup and butter.

Recently I have been cooking the quick grits then stir an egg into them with a slice of american cheese and after the cheese is melted in and all stired up add a good amount of Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning to it and then sit there and enjoy that fine meal

My dad is from North Carolina and growing up for Sat breakfast he usually cooked grits with fried eggs. Stir it all up with plenty of butter...Mmm good.
Don't eat 'em all that much anymore, but this thread is makin' want to. We have a restaurant around called Roost that makes that Nashville chicken that is wicked hot, but good. And they serve those cheesy grits, good to cool your mouth down.lol

My wife has a story of her first time having grits at a Waffle House in Georgia. She's from Wyoming and was in college so pretty naive about the dish. She ordered a breakfast special, and grits came on the side on a whole separate plate. She gave the waitress a puzzled look and the waitress replied, "baby them's ur grits". LOL

Or to California, in my case. My daddy in Indiana was born and raised in Alabama, so I grew up on grits and okra (or as he pronounced it, okry).

When I was 20 my mom got a job in North Carolina and asked me to help her move there. We arrived in NC early in the morning and stopped at a little mom and pop cafe for breakfast. There were grits on my plate when it arrived at our table. I had no idea what they were but I ate em and liked em.
I ended up liking NC too and stayed there for 13 years so I’ve eaten lots of grits since that first plate full.
