Another vote here for Jim Dandy grits with scrambled eggs and/or cheese or served on top of over easy fried eggs, in fact I will be having some here in just a little while.

I don't notice any difference between brands myself. As long as they're the old-fashioned type and not instant or quick, all white grits pretty much taste the same to me. We normally buy Jim Dandy but have used Quaker old-fashioned many times.

How about a few ideas.

These are the brands that we use. Carolina Plantation is probably my favorite. There are many varieties that you can buy--white, yellow, blue, etc. (Quaker grits would never cross the kitchen threshold. )

Ten-12 years ago, I went to breakfast at IHOP

Only Yankees and Damn Yankees eat at IHOP in B’ham. The correct answer for southern breakfast is Waffle House. I’ve had acceptable results with Quaker Oats.

Yes, have to go to Waffle House, food, fight and a show for a really low price.

Looks like Publix offers a choice of brands, for grits. You can choose Quaker, or Quaker. If you don't like either of those, there's always Quaker.

Breakfast isn't breakfast without grits but whatever you do, do not get the instant type in the packets. I am not sure what those are. I usually get Quaker -in the large package or cardboard tube,Jim Dandy or another brand and they are all about the same. One of the guys I work with makes his own, as he has a grinder and uses either white or yellow corn to make them. The yellow grits are really good.

Grits are a really polarizing food and folks either love them or hate them it seems.

I have had some that were amazing and some that were really crap.

A good breakfast for me... a couple of biscuits torn up and smothered with sausage gravy AND grits... then I tear up and add another sausage patty to the pile... stir it all up together... 3 scrambled eggs on the side. Fantastic! Buttered and jelly biscuit for dessert!

not sure if they will ship any longer,

Rich Pouncey was one of a kind, a great man that loved some Flintlocks, and corn squeezings,

he send me a pile of grits, cornmeal and seed corn all from heirloom corn,

his family hit the US about the same time, well maybe a little mine did (pre US)

Pouncy Tract here in RVA is where his family settled back then, he was in FLA and Ga,

not sure if they will ship, Rich has been gone a few years,

but if they still do the heirloom corn, the taste,, well a bit different, and good

These are really good grits. We have them regularly for breakfast. Add some cream cheese an/or sharp cheddar and you will be hooked. It’s 1:4 grits to water. A little salt in the water. Bring water to boil and stir in grits. Let simmer until creamy and soft then stir in cheese. If grits seem too dry while cooking heat some water in microwave and stir into the cooking grits to get the consistency you want(not too runny and not too dry).

Thanks for the link, my wife ordered some bags last night. Even with shipping charges, it looks to be worth it.

I mean, look at his name. He probably likes lefse and lutefisk for breakfast with ligonberry jam.

My family and I fell in love with them when my wife's brother married a South Carolina girl and we visited and had them. There's no going back. Up here in the PNW I get Bob's Red Mill.

And every "grit" scene from My Cousin Vinny, of which there are several, is fantastic.

A member here sent me some years ago, I believe he lived in MN. I wish I could remember who he was

I’ve eaten grits all my life. All kinds of brands (but mostly Quaker) Full cook, 5 minute quick or instant. I love them all.

The only “grits” I didn’t like was in college. For the first few days of my freshman year I got grits in the cafeteria. I thought they were the worst grits I’d ever had. No amount of butter, salt and pepper would make them taste good. On about the third day, I finally read the sign above them, Cream of Wheat. At that point, I learned I do not like Cream of Wheat.

Carolina Plantation Grits

I also love their aromatic rice, order 8-12# at a time and keep in the freezer, we don't eat grits a lot, but they keep in the freezer also.

You probably grew up on cream of wheat. Grits is simply cream of corn. Unlike restaurant grits, cook it with milk, not water.

Treat grits like you would any other side carb dish. Adding butter is popular. I like adding cheese. Shrimp and grits is awesome.

Any of the independent dedicated Southern grit mills will be fine.

These were good when they were Geechee Boy. The WOKE crowd got to them, I guess - or people just not knowing who the Geechee are…
