What are Grits?
Have you ever heard o' them?
I know I hadn't, until I started watching Food Network. Grits are the official prepared food of Georgia, you know.
But that doesn't answer our question. What are they?
Well grits is a type of Maize porridge popular in the southern part of the United States. It's made of coarsely ground corn. You can buy it in the store. Here's how to make them:
2 cups water
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cooking grits, not instant (suggested: Quaker)
1/2 cup butter
In a small pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil. Slowly stir grits into boiling mixture. Stir continuously and thoroughly until grits are well mixed. Let the pot return to a boil, cover pot with a lid, lower the temperature, and cook for approximately 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water if necessary.
Grits are done when they have the consistency of smooth cream of wheat. Stir in half the butter and serve with remaining butter divided equally on top of each portion, or serve with fruit or with a savory meal.
That's a picture of them, next to the Waffle. See y'all,

Readers PS:
Maize is just another word for corn. I didn't realize this until I had already published and looked the word up, but I didn't feel like editing.
That waflle looks good, though I don't think I'd want that much butter. Also, who eats grits and waffles with chicken wings?
Those waffles do look good. I would love to have waffles, but not butter. I don't want to eat butter, because it is to faty.
