Can someone please explain to me what grits are?
Ive seen them in the movie "my cousin Vinny" and Ive heard of them, but what the fuck are they?
Is it the U.S. version of a Canadian beaver tail?

Grits are small broken grains of corn. They were first produced by Native Americans centuries ago. They made both "corn" grits and "hominy" grits.
Falls Mill produces "corn" grits.

Cornmeal

YUM!

rdunn404 · 02-19-2003, 07:25 PM

They do if you just eat them plain. When made right they are awesome.

Grits are an acquired taste - that I haven't acquired. As is sweet iced tea

dirtyone · 02-19-2003, 08:00 PM

Here is a good link about grits as well as some other great southern food.\

Grits can also stand for Girls Raised In The South.

And your point is?

Gianni Uomo · 02-19-2003, 08:30 PM

What are grits?

Grits are made from the milling of corn kernels.
The first step in the process is to clean the kernels;
then, the grains are steamed for a short time to loosen
the tough outer hull.
The grain kernel is split, which removes the hull and germ,
leaving the broken endosperm.
Heavy steel rollers break up the endosperm into granules,
which are separated by a screening process.
The large-size granules are the grits; the smaller ones
become cornmeal and corn flour.

When do people eat them?

People eat grits at all times of the day,
primarily for breakfast (90% of time)
and secondarily as an appetizer, a side dish, or a main meal.

Are grits only a Southern food?

No. Though grits have a rich tradition in the South,
they are not only eaten by Southerners.
Grits are enjoying a "renaissance" as people across the country
discover the great taste and versatility of grits.
In fact, there has been an emerging national interest in grits
as a non-breakfast (non-instant) cuisine.
Grits are appearing on restaurant menus on both
East and West Coasts and are even featured by well-known chefs.

Are grits good for you?
Yes! Grits are a good source of Calcium, an excellent source of Iron, are low in fat and have no cholesterol. They are also high in carbohydrates and have several B vitamins, including Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, and Folate. Refer to our nutritional information.

You were NOT born and raised in the south by southerners, were you?

Though I'll give you back some points for liking salmon patties

The BEST way to try grits: Get the REAL grits - don't get the instant crap. Cook them, cover them in butter and salt. I'd also tell you to put some red eye gravy on them, but if you're just trying grits for the first time, you're not going to be hip on red eye gravy

Chitings I tried once. That was enough. Nasty.

dirtyone · 02-19-2003, 10:06 PM

How are you Peaches?

Haven't seen you in a while... We need to get together and have some grits soon.

I've been battling our massive (3 now) snow storms, lol! OK, the biggest one was 4 inches, but still

And of course, waiting for the BIG EVENT - the opening of the Super Walmart next month

Grits sound good - we'll even invite Playa as long as he doesn't put any sugar on them

mastamindz · 02-19-2003, 10:12 PM

I make my aunt send me some every once in a while. We cant get them in Canada

Same with green enchilada sauce.

The last one we got, the ATL news kept saying we just had a "few flakes" - more like 3 inches, lol! There was still about 2-3 in. on top Ft. Mt. last week from the Feb. snow

LMK when you're around!

I HATE THE SMELL OF CHITTERLINGS! I smelled them once at my friends house. It smelled like someone died! UGh!Stay away from them! I have never tasted them, because of the smell alone. Dirtyone, do they smell that way through the entire meal or only while they are cooking?
