 DD*>Grits is in the hominy family - which is NOT food. Grits is
 DD*>actually wall spackle.
                   
 FAB> I can tell you have not had GRITS fixed in the true Southern Style!
 FAB> Properly cooked grits are seasoned with a little pork fat and are of a

I first encountered them with eggs for breakfast in Florida. I was
not real impressed with them. They must be an acquired taste. I
tried them again a few years ago and ended up using the rest of the
bag up making bread. They're OK that way. [g]

For those that do like them:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Green Chile Grits
 Categories: Corn, Southern, Crockpot, Chilies
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      2 c  Regular grits; not quick
      6 c  Water
    1/2 ts Paprika
    1/2 ts Salt
      6 oz can Green chiles; diced
      1    Jalapeno chile
           Seeded & finely chop
      1 ds Cayenne
 
  For crockpot: Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and cook on low
  for 6-9 hours or on HIGH 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. If
  cooking on HIGH, add 1/4-1/2 cup more water if too thick.
  
  Similar to polenta, you serve right away or you can refrigerate
  the mixture in a buttered loaf pan for a few hours or overnight,
  unmold, slice and fry in butter until browned.
  
  For microwave: Use different amounts of grits and water. If using
  grits, follow directions on box. If using yellow cornmeal, like I
  did, use 3/4 cup cornmeal to 2-1/4 cups water. The rest of the
  ingredients are the same. Put the grits (or cornmeal) and water in
  microwaveable container.
  
  Put in a dash of salt. Cook on HIGH uncovered for 3 minutes. Take
  it out and stir it. Add the chiles and the spices and put on HIGH
  for another 3 minutes uncovered.
  
  If frying later, take it and put it in the refrigerator. When
  ready to fry, heat cast iron pan with 2 tbsp oil in the bottom.
  Heat until quite hot and put in the slices of grits (or cornmeal)
  and fry until lightly browned on each side. Drain and serve under
  your entree - be it vegetable stew or chili.
