(I’m from South USA.). TYIA We grew up in the South as well (Louisiana), where properly-cooked grits are an excellent part of a breakfast. They weren't on the menu last time we did an ocean cruise though; sadly, too many non-southern restaurants make watery grits, which is awful. For me, jalapeño cheese grits and a pair of eggs over easy makes for a great meal; at home, I put freshly-cooked grits in a bowl, then fry a pair of eggs and lay them on top of the grits. There was a little diner in Nashville where you could pop in and get that to go. True Southern food. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
