Grits! split from Is Gettysburg Confederate Friendly?

[Bee]

Yes, that was it, thanks for the correction Bee.
Oh, grits is very hard to find around Gettysburg and if you do find it, it seems they load it down with sugar.....yikes! I need my butter and salt please.

The Holiday Inn had a very nice plate of grits for their buffet breakfast -- no sugar added! One of my employees is from Louisiana, and he got me started on grits (he probably would not visit anywhere that did not serve grits)

Never wake up a sleeping jgg with too many questions.

UH-oh. Here: @highplainsdrifter59 & I are enjoying grits without sugar -- have some

But, in the Civil War the soldiers did in fact boil their grits and then added sugar to provide them a sweet treat called, Hasty Pudding.
Now, on the scrapple AND eggs thing, once my father in-law informed me what scrapple was, I just went for the eggs and toast.

Good for you Bee! I have my grits covered in butter and salty. Much to the dismay of my artreries. But gotta have something to have your doctor tell you to stop doing....along with about 50 other things.

Interesting thread.

Although I've never been to Gettysburg, the town is obviously very smart to be Confederate friendly and Union friendly.
It' not a matter of Blue & Gray . . . but green.

I can only relate to Vicksburg . . . it's very Yankee friendly !
Again . . . it's all about the color of money.

Regarding the grits . . . cheese grits are the way to go.

How to eat grits:

Place your grits on your plate.
Take your fork in your hand.
Scrape the grits into the garbage can.
Get yourself some real breakfast.

No sugar, no cheese. I will admit I do have some instant grits on the shelf, but they are the red eye gravy and bacon flavor ones.
How my grandmother could make some cat head biscuits and real red eyed gravy. My taste buds are drooling now.

Got real grits too

You scared me for a moment with the pig "instant grits". We all know those aren't grits.

Only the unknowledgeable eats plain grits. Everyone else makes them nice.

No, step #3 is to scrap them grits into my plate and watch them be eaten........

Best I can do in Yankee territory, easily hidden between clothing.

Told a friend that tacos were just pressed grits.

Ed used to tell me that grits were merely the vehicle in which to put lots of fat and salt upon

No wonder. Grits are a basic food group south of Maryland - as they should be.

Exactly. Anything you have to add a bunch of stuff to to make it nice isn't worth it. I'd rather have a real breakfast that's nice to start with.

Baked potatoes????? Must. Add. STUFF!

Bite your tongue or maybe in this case your keyboard, Cash. Sometimes I just gotta shake my Viginia head at the gastronomically challenged.

I eat my baked potatoes dry.
