If you like corn or corn bread you will like grits. I sometimes buy the box with individual envelopes and just neuk it with water and when its done add a chunk of butter and/or shredded cheese. You can also make it from scratch and pour it into a buttered loaf pan and refrigerate overnight. Next morning slice, roll in flour and fry for breakfast. (Fried Mush) Serve with syrup for a change from pancakes. But the little envelopes that come like instant oatmeal also come as plain grits or cheese grits. I love them with toast for a fast meal when I'm quilting! What you had before may have been just plain grits, in a restaurant. Those aren't good until you add butter! As a kid up north we ate them as hot cereal with milk and sugar. In the south they are more of a side dish.
