As a Southern boy raised by an Okie mother, I beg to differ. Grits are eaten
pretty much any way possible. The main way I've eaten grits over the
years is mixed with a fried egg with lots of salt and pepper or with milk
and brown sugar. Maybe it's not Deep Georgia South but my kin picked
cotton during the Depression and are about as redneck country as you
can find. I think Jerry Springer was the Guest of Honor at the Dirickson
Family Reunion.
