NOt even close to cream of wheat, they are made from corn. Cream of wheat is like a hot cereal, grits aren't, not even close. And yes we do know how to make decent hash browns.

Oh my! it was a joke... (see the little laughing guy?) Goodness! Has everyone lost their sense of humor over the "great shoe debate?"

Here's two hot gals in dark jeans and heels

Sorry, it still looks stupid to me . Jeans are casual, heels are dressy. Would you wear tennis shoes with a dress??? Kind of the same thing to me.

So basically they are corn "oatmeal"?



Ok, what is SCRAPPLE??? I have seen that here but I was kind of afraid to Google it I am picturing something like shortbreads

But in the south, Grits generally aren't sweet. WE have a friend form up north and she does put sugar on them, she gave all of us southerners a friendly warning that she was about to put sugar on her grits. I love them with cheese.

They are messed up cream of wheat, or what the south serves because they don't know hoe to make decent hash browns..... LOL

I'm from Philly...... would anyone like to discuss SCRAPPLE?

Geotta is better than scrapple.

Not all heels are dressy.

Not when it is -40 out side with 5 feet of snow on the ground...

Who says? It only stings for a little while!

You really think this looks stupid? I just can't wrap my brain around it. Some long pants are casual, do you wear tennis shoes with those. Some dresses are very casual, do you wear tennis shoes with those too? Jean can be dressy or casual. And trust me, these women probably paid several hundred dollars for these jeans. They deserve more than tennis shoes. Again, to each their own, but wear tennis shoes with these jeans would look absurd.

Also, I would follow these ladies and their style before anyone her on these boards, Including me, I look to the experts, not myself.

Not all heels are dressy.

And not all jeans are casual.

GRITS= Girls Raised in the South.

Grits are yummy, especially stone ground grits that can take up to 30 minutes to cook. Instant grits are a major no no to me.

Ok, so what exactly ARE grits? What are they made from???

Geotta is better than scrapple.

I've never heard of it, but after having looked it up, I must agree, because scrapple sounds exactly like what it is.

...but "scapple fried hard" is a breakfast staple here. It was the only thing I've ever seen Guy Fieri make a face after eating on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives."

Sorry, we get upset over our grits. And really you can say anything and put a laughing guy behind it, doesn't mean anything. Damn yankee.

Be sure and note the laughing guy.

Grits rock. With pepper and butter. Not at ALL like oatmeal or cream of wheat!

Now I'm hungry.

I've lived in Kentucky since I was 13 and have always been afraid to try grits. I didn't know they were just corn! Maybe I'll get brave and try them.

Goetta is sort of the same as scrapple, but instead of cornmeal being the binder, steel cut oats are. I make it from scratch, so there isn't any filler meat in it, just ground pork and ground pork sausage. It really is so good.

Don't get instant! And make sure you put some butter on them and a little salt and pepper.

Pretty much the same thing in my book. I don't like either. I do like grits, however. My girls love cheese grits.

 

[golfgal]

Don't get instant! And make sure you put some butter on them and a little salt and pepper.

So, would doing this basically make it taste like liquidy corn on the cob?? Next time we are in Missouri I might have to try grits. Is it safe to try them in most restaurants or would they used instant mostly??

They need lots of salt, if not, they are terrible. And if you like cheese that is yummy also. Just put some shredded cheese on while still hot. Man, I am hungry and I just ate.

No, nothing like corn on the cob. Hard to explain really. Cracker Barrel has pretty good ones, but you probably don't have one near you. I would bet most places serve real grits. Up there though, they may be sweet, just make sure they don't put sugar on them, totally different taste.

 

[doxdogy]

Definitely lots of butter, some salt and pepper. DH likes to put his fried eggs on top of his grits and then mix it all together.
