The South shall rise again, right after breakfast!
As a side effect of my current bout of illness, I'm freaking hungry. And, for some odd reason, I'm craving a good Southern breakfast. Biscuts and gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and ham (yes breakfast in the South uses the whole pig) piles of toast, coffee with loads of cream.. and grits.
I never encountered grits until I was in the Army. Then I learned to love them because they were hot, filling, and could be eaten in about 45 seconds, which left me a leasurely 4 minutes, 15 seconds to eat the rest of my breakfast. Once I started going to the field in winter I really appreciated grits' thermodynamic properties. Corn porridge holds onto heat very well. Some mornings, my first meal consisted of a cup of soup, grits, sausage, and coffee. (We avoided the eggs they brought out like the plague. You really don't want to know what spending hours in a Mermite can will do to scrambled eggs.)
While not ever going to be on anyone's list of favorites, grits are part of my experience of living in Georgia, and like I said, I'd really like a big plate of Southern food right now.
So, how do y'all like your grits?
