My hubby used to turn up his nose at grits...until I told him he should put some maple syrup and butter on them. Now when we go out for breakfast...he will order them. Its our "mid-western version".
And.....if you have polenta, the italian version/name, it is pretty much the same thing. The grind might be a little different and it may be yellow corn, but close enough IMHO.
