I have to admit I've led a very sheltered life. Today is the first day I've ever tried grits. Evidently 1 of my dcgs loves grits so I bought some.
I'm not crazy about them. All I did was cook them and throw a little real maple syrup on them. TG for the maple syrup.
Those of you who eat them and/or serve them to your kiddos, how do you cook them and serve them? Are they better with cheese?

Grits is one of the staples of traditional American foods. The dish came from a Native American Muskogee tribe's recipe in the 16th century, of Indian corn. Three-quarters of grits sold in the U.S. are bought in the South in what is sometimes called the "grits belt".

I'm right there with you on the sheltered life. I've heard of grits but have never tried them or even know what they are. Needless to say I have never made them. I have branched out into couscous and quinoa though so there is that. The kids love couscous, the quinoa wasn't as popular.

This is so weird - I was just reading a post on Facebook about someone trying Grits and how to eat them and I desperately wanted to ask what on earth are grits? I was to embarrassed to ask and then I read it on here so I have decided to ask - what are grits???

I don't know either, but will post again in a few minutes.

From Wikipedia:
Sounds like something I might like. I like things like oatmeal, cream of wheat, and rice, so would probably like this too.
