What are Grits?

For all you yankees who don't know what grits are...

What Are Grits?
Some folks believe grits are grown on bushes and are harvested by midgets by shaking the bushes after spreading sheets around them. Many people think grits are made from ground up bits of white corn. These are lies spread by Yankees, Communists and terrorists. Nothing as good as a Grits can be made from corn. Research suggests that the mysterious Manna that God rained down upon the Israelites during their time in the Sinai Desert was most likely Grits. Critics disagree, stating that there is no record of biscuits, butter, salt, and red eye gravy raining down from the sky, and that God would not punish his people by forcing them to eat Grits without these key ingredients.

There simply is no understanding of those who dislike grits, nor is there any reason to try to change their mind. After all for each plate of grits not eaten by the unwashed just means more for us 'true' Southerners. I say 'true' cause if you don't eat grits you ain't a card carryin' Southerner. Kinda like changing planes at DFW don't make you a Texan.

When Kitty and Larry came to Houston Pru and I gave them a box of grits, moon pies and kolaches.

The last time I tried to eat grits, they leapt off my plate and attacked me. Pardon me for my consequent "Northern-Aggressor" skittishness.

I'd rather eat an unripe persimmon.

They're good as a side with grits and bacon.

I suppose grits are beneficial to have in your stomach to act as gravel to pulverize the twigs and leaves you also probably eat.

Hmph. Like I need grits for that. Gizzard-strengthening exercises are a long-standing part of my fitness regimen.

I was at a buffet in the middle of Iowa and tried some grits. Last time I tasted them was over thirty years ago. Next sampling---in thirty year. By then I'll have forgotten what they taste like.
