[Lee]:
And if someone has already answered, my apologies. :-)

I've been busy with my HP and Twilight Zone DVDs so haven't been reading
steadily.

Grits are my fave, even though I'm a New York City Slicker who now lives in
New Jersey.  They are the very center of a type of corn called Hominy.
They're dried and cooked like cereal, served with lots of butter and then
the variations happen...some like sugar, or cinnamon, or both; some like
ketchup, or salt; some like just a ton of butter.  Brits can either be eaten
by themselves or as a side to eggs.  I've also seen grits served with
fish-cakes, which used to be one of my fave lunches, I admit. :-)

They're not overly smooth like cream-of-wheat or oatmeal; they have a sort
of consistency like...uh...well...tiny grits--not crunchy, but you can
identify their separateness.

Does that help, Joe? :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
