What are grits?

In the South, grits are a breakfast staple. I eat them every morning. Similar to polenta, grits are dried, ground up corn. I found not too long ago that this is a "Southern Thang," because people in other parts of the country are used to oatmeal. My favorite way to eat them is by adding cheese and bacon. You can find grits with jelly, grits with butter, shrimp and grits, flavored grits... you get the picture! :-D

There is also another type of grits...

Deborah Ford founded Grits Inc. several years ago. GRITS stands for "Girls Raised in the South." GRITS has become something that many Southern women identify themselves with. For more information check out the following website: http://www.gritsinc.com/home.html.
