Feeble attempt at being as epic and awesome as REPO Man

Poser.

I honestly do not care for grits. So I really dont care. But I have to make fun of Ack because he made me lose a round of TFC last night...

I also made you win several.

mass market grits.

Definitely a yankee...

(Just kidding, I put salt and pepper - and, occasionally, a bit of blue cheese or butter - in my stone ground grits.

Meh, at least I know the real name for the War of Northern Aggression.

You've had "real" South Carolina grits before correct? Stuff is amazing compared to what Quaker puts out as "grits".

Proper grits need no seasoning or butter. But I've only had proper grits three times in my my life, so I would probably s&p and butter them up. No sugar.

My wife is a plain oatmeal fiend. I prefer steel cut or Irish oatmeal, but she loves the Quaker oats. Her favorite oatmeal toppings: Parmesan cheese and extra virgin olive oil. Sounds weird, but oatmeal is a blank canvas.

I have had real grits from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia. The best are from a mill in South Carolina is own by my little brothers inlaws. Their grits are stoneground and available at random places across South Carolina:

He always comes in with a big bag of them.

I have never tried Parmesan and olive oil on oatmeal, that sounds interesting. But I am with you, McCanns is my preferred oatmeal.

My daughter turned 1 today!

We had to cancel her birthday party tomorrow. She isnt feeling well, and my mom, brother, niece, and nephew all have strep. She isnt running a fever yet, so she may just have congestion, but we dont want to take any chances. The holidays are natures way of getting people together and spreading disease!

Two of my top picks for grits:

Both provide incredible grits and a memorable experience.

My milk delivery service - which is awesome BTW - supplies me with grits from Old Mill of Guilford. If you can get them, I highly recommend them!

I've never liked grits, they don't taste very good.

Don't come South, boy.

I dont care for grits, but I will eat them. Maybe they arent as big in Texas, but they seemingly arent as important of a food staple here as the southern states east of us.
