Grits

[TwoPockets]

If you are not talking about meat, grits is nature's most perfect food. For me the perfect meal is bacon, toast with mayhaw jelly and a perfectly fried over medium egg topped with grits and butter. Smash up and stir that egg in the grits and enjoy.

Everything TP said except cat head biscuits instead of toast.

When I was growing up my Granny would cook me a cat head biscuit for a treat when I got home from school. She cooked it in a #2 cast iron skillet and I would split it open and totally cover it in butter and Golden Eagle syrup. Better than apple pie with ice cream to me.

My favorite way of eating grits for breakfast is to put butter on them, mix in an over-easy fried egg and the sprinkle some extra sharp cheese and then mix it all up.  Of course salt and pepper goes without saying.

When I was growing up there was some folks living next to us who had no electricity and used only a wood stove would take a bowl of grits and crack a raw egg in it, mix it up with butter and eat.

My  Cousin Vinnie,about all I know about Grits   
------------------------------------------------------

 Gambini: Well how much time was they in the store?

Tipton: Five minutes.

Gambini: Five minutes? Are you sure? Did you look at your watch?

Tipton: No.

Gambini: Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, you testified earlier that the boys went into the store and you had just begun to make breakfast. You were just ready to eat. You heard a gun shot. That's right, I'm sorry. So obviously it takes you five minutes to make breakfast.

Tipton: That's right.

Gambini: Right, so you knew that. Uh, do you remember what you had?

Tipton: Eggs and grits.

Gambini: Eggs and grits. I like grits too. How do you cook your grits? You like 'em regular, creamy, or al dente?

Tipton: Just regular, I guess.

Gambini: Regular. Instant grits?

  Tipton: No self-respecting southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits.

Gambini: So, Mr. Tipton, how could it take you five minutes to cook your grits, when it takes the entire grit-eating world 20 minutes.

Tipton: I don't know. I'm a fast cook, I guess.

Gambini: I'm sorry, I was all the way over here. I couldn't hear you. Did you say you're a fast cook? That's it?! Are we to believe that boiling waters soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than on any place on the face of the earth?!

Tipton: I don't know.

Gambini: Well perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove! Were these magic grits? I mean, did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?!

D.A. Trotter: Objection, Your Honor!

Judge Haller: Objection sustained.

Gambini: Are you sure about that five minutes?

Tipton: I don't know.

Judge Haller: Mr. Tipton you can ignore the question.

Gambini: Are you sure about that five minutes?

Tipton: I don't know.

Judge Haller: Mr. Gambini, I think you've made your point.

Gambini: Are you sure about that five minutes?!!

Tipton: I may have been mistaken.

Gambini: I got no more use for this guy.

Rothenstein: [to his counsel] You're fired.

At the Gathering I'll be selling grit trees for y'all who don't have one in your back yard.  It's cheaper to grow your own than buy from the store.
