Has anyone tasted grits?

I've had them in the States, particularly in the South. They taste a bit like gruel or "proper" porridge i.e. made with water, not milk.

No idea if they are available in the UK...

Grits are one of those foods that people eat because they haven't got, or can't afford, anything else. (IMHO)

When I hear the word grits, I think of the film My Cousin Vinny, they look disgusting.

Tried them in california, NEVER again...... food of devil's spawn, cosistancy only fit for people with no teeth, no taste & no sense of smell. IMHO

[Tilly2]

Refried beans aren't much better, either.

Just like coarse wallpaper paste would taste. Tried them once. Not bothered since.
