I can get either white or yellow here---Volume II, huh? Okay---I'm not gonna whine because I am now a grown up-- Re: In The Near Future - pjcooks - 09-08-2007 Pretty much, Roxanne, although the grind is probably different. Remember when polenta became all the rage? I used to see little tiny packages of it on the deli counter or other POS, for $3 or $4, people had no idea. Cornmeal by another name. Versatile stuff, isn't it? By the way, my southern (Georgia) born and bred aunt always served white grits. PJ Re: In The Near Future - luvnit - 09-08-2007 I replied to this earlier, but it didn't show up. So forgive me if my reponse shows up twice. I know people who LOVE grits. I have never had them . I assume they are like polenta only runnier. Am I right? I would sure give them a try Re: In The Near Future - MUSICMAKER - 09-08-2007 Quote: All the same bird, just a different color! Re: In The Near Future - Old Bay - 09-08-2007 I "blindfold" an egg (saute by flipping grease over the top--do not turn over) and serve along side grits so the yellow mixes with the grits. Add a little butter--serve with toast for sopping and a sliced tomato. Southern heaven. Re: In The Near Future - labradors - 09-08-2007 Hmmmmmm...grits with eggs with runny yolk! The only thing missing is just a dash or two of Tabasco. YUM! Okay. I hadn't bought any grits in a while (they're available in an import store here), but now I know it's time to get some again. So what if I'm a Yankee? Re: In The Near Future - bjcotton - 09-08-2007 Everything except the tomatoes Bill! Half-Baked sent me a 5 pound bag of stone ground grits. Grits are not quite as finely ground as cornmeal/polenta. Nobody here likes grits. I like hominy grits too...yum! Re: In The Near Future - Harborwitch - 09-08-2007 Oooooooh yeah! With some good country sausage, or chicken fried steak!!! We used to like a little Old Bay seasoning and tabasco on them. Re: In The Near Future - Old Bay - 09-08-2007 Try baking some cooked grits with some chopped roasted poblanos and some jalapeno jack cheese--some kind of deal. |
