Yep. I haven't had any more grits for years but I do similar things
with yellow cornmeal, cracked wheat or Red River cereal (A Canadian
porridge made with about three parts cracked wheat, 2 parts cracked
rye and 1 part crushed flax seed). You can incorporate the grit
into the dough or just make regular white bread and roll the dough
in it to coat it before baking.

I searched for English and Toast and got quite a few hits. I will
not send you a bread recipe; that would be silly. But here's a
sandwich recipe...I know you can smunch.
                                        
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Cucumber or Tomato Orange-Mint Sandwiches
 Categories: Sandwiches, British, Spreads
      Yield: 8 Servings

           ORANGE MINT BUTTER:
    1/4 lb Sweet butter
    1/2 ts Fresh mint, minced
    1/2 ts Grated orange zest
           Little bit of the juice from
           The orange
      1 ts Sour cream [optional]
 
  Soften the butter slightly, and using either a hand mixer or a
  food processor, smunch all the ingredients until smooth.
  
  Cucumber sandwiches
  
  16 slices white bread
  Sliced cucumbers
  vinegar
  salt
  the favoured butter
  
  Put the cucumbers in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with a little
  vinegar and salt.  Allow to stand for 30 - 40 minutes, then pat
  dry with paper towels. (This keeps the cucumbers from making the
  sandwiches soggy).
  
  Spread half the slices of bread with the butter mixture. Use 5 or
  6 slices of cucumber on each slice of buttered bread.  (Overlap
  them just slightly). Top with the un-buttered slices of bread,
  and cut off the crusts.
  
  Make a diagonal cut across each sandwich.  This makes 16
  sandwiches. Each of these can be cut in two smaller triangles for
  32 tiny sandwiches.
  
  Tomato Sandwiches:
  
  The tomato sandwich technique is similar to that for the
  cucumbers. I like to use Roma tomatoes, since they are less juicy,
  and less likely to make the bread soggy.  I use the vinegar and
  salt trick on them, too, but for half the time as for the
  cucumbers. I also usually butter both slices of bread for tomato
  sandwiches (extra insulation). The butter can be flavored with
  fresh basil instead of mint for the tomato variety (yummmmm). It
  also tastes good with the bread toasted.
  
  Your favorite ham salad recipe will work for these, too, as will
  curried chicken salad.
