How many packages?

[Brian]

I figured I'd make a less political poll for the D'Live peeps. And it doesn't get less political than grits.... or does it? :robot:

When making Quaker Instant Grits, how many packages do you use in a single bowl?

[0ldman]

"No self respecting Southerner uses instant grits. I pride myself on my grits..."

that being said, one pack, and one slice of cheese. :)

[Graybeard]

Cheese & butter and mix some eggs in.

[AliMc1977]

Brian have you been away from home too long? Does your momma need to teach you how to make real grits...Hmmm I need some maybe I'll make some for breakfast Saturday..

[AngelWing]

I like the instant kind just fine. One package then mix in the scrambled eggs and bacon bits. Hmmmmmm good!

[Eagle101]

"What's a grit?". Vinny in "My Cousin Vinny". Instant grits tastes like wet cardboard. I use a ratio of 2/3rds grits and 1/3rd cream of wheat. I had just a little of each one morning and just mixed them together to have enough for a meal.

You got it! Grits is Grits. Not some " mess" concocted in Nue YUawk!

[whatudeserve69]

Quick grits, Jim Dandy only...NO instant (YEACH). Not even the kiddos will eat the instant :WTF . One small pot at a time, smother the youngster's with cheese. Mine...just a "smidge" of salt and a "dab" of butter please!

I hope for the sake of everything you were not trying to rhyme....LOL b/c that sounded like a grits commercial (corny)..... I'm with you Jim Dandy is good!

Look you're a poet and didn' tknow it! thanx for the laugh...

[Mustang65]

Instant grits "SUCK" I agree with oldman. I prefer 'LOTS' of salt and 'TONS' of butter. YUMM

Actually, I had to read my post 3 times after yours before I caught the rhyme! Sad, and scary, huh? :o Oh, well, maybe one day I will wake up.....

[red]

instant grits are just not as good as the real thing. however i have used them when no other option was availble. so the answer would be 2 and butter, bacon bits, cheeze go into mine

[uwa_amanda]

I like grits with cheese in them. I haven't eaten any in a while (lack of time--look yall I don't even have enough time for instant grits).

[dave]

WORST POLL EVER

However, 3 packages is the right answer, with a couple of eggs and some bacon on the side.

[Bamaeagle]

Ok everyone is making me home sick.....they don't know what grits are here in Kazakhstan. Breakfast here is bacon(Canadian), eggs, chicken wings, pasta of some sort, rice, french toast, regular toast, juice, hot tea, & coffee. Boy sure do wish I had some grits with salt and butter !

[dman]

For the man that is on the go like me! I prefer two packages and I like the assorted artificial flavorings. yummy, fry up some spam or whatever substance that is loaded in Na. that is sodium. I like to peak my blood pressure out before leaving the house. That way I can get a good game of road rage on before work. fuel for the body. Then I am wound-up like an eight day clock

You never fail to make me laugh, dman! I giggled the whole way through your post. :rofl:

As for me, call me a traditionalist...I like my grits to be the real thang, not that instant stuff...and a little butter and salt on 'em and I'm a happy camper. :)

[Eagle101]

The best grits are the regular style that takes about twenty minutes to cook. A little salt, lots of butter and a few real bacon bits. Quick grits take about five minutes to cook and are almost, almost, as good as the regular kind. The instant grits are only for those who are desperate and must have a daily grits fix and unable to cook the real ones. Like traveling in yankeeland, hiking in the mountains and on military field training exercises.

[dman]

I didn't know there was a such thing as "real grits" Now the Dman must go on a quest and find this "real grit" that you speak of.

[dman]

Now please no one go and tell me that Spam, potted meat, souse meat, fat back, Mac-n-cheese in a box and Kool laid are not real. That will set me off, I live for hypertension.

[Ranger]

Well, I don't do instant grits, but I did have some Quaker Instant Oatmeal this morning. I used 2 packages of Blueberries & Craem.

[dman]

Ranger are you a Yank? Its alright with me! We don't put sugar on our boiled sand" Grits, if it can't stick to the endothelium lining of your cardiovascular system, then don't put it in your mouth

[Ranger]

A YANK, I don't think so!!!!!! Are you a scank? Its ok with me. I just don't like instant grits, I want the real cooked grits.

[dman]

No offense was intended Ranger, just thought maybe you were from up north, most northern's like oatmeal and don't eat grits. Again, I was not slinging words,

[Ranger]

I know Dman, I am just messing right back at you.

[dman]

OK, Ranger, you can take it out of the chamber now and throw that saftey back on

[Ranger]

10-4, dang I was just waiting for a fight about grits vs. oatmeal.

[AliMc1977]

I love grits...and oatmeal..not together though.. I don't eat instant oatmeal either. well not the kind in the lil individual packages.

[Buttercup]

One pack of the instant grits is fine with me, sure it's not as good as the original, but they're quick, don't mess up a pan, and I don't have to throw out the leftovers. Leftover grits are inedible, no matter what version. Melt a little Colby cheese in there and you can almost imagine that you're eating some of that red rind(hoop)cheese we used to have way back when. It's hard to find that stuff these days, and when you do it costs an arm and a leg. I scored 92% Dixie so I'm comfortable enough in my Southern-inity to confess that, yes, I actually do eat the instant grits every now and then. ;)

[dman]

I am glad to hear that someone else is not afraid to eat out spaceship rations of instant grits. The only real down fall of the crap is if you leave it in a bowl for to long-it turns into morter. Flat out quick crete. You can spend three full days of trying to chisel it out of the bowl or just trash the bowl. I have seen people fasten their braces back on there teeth with it. Good stuff

[Rosebud]

I agree with Oldman! Instant grits are awful not worth the trouble. I like my real grits with cheddar cheese. Dave for this to be such a bad poll it sure got alot of responses.

[AliMc1977]

We are just so glad Brian is participating...He's usually under the hood fixing everything. We have to give him his points....LOL

[hang_em_high]

"No self respecting Southerner uses instant grits. I pride myself on my grits..."



You're right i don't use but a friend of mine uses 1 pack and some sugar.

[pamalam36732]

Grits are grits................hubby is part yankee, he eats his with sugar. Butter and salt for me. Instant are less mess!

[AngelWing]

I like homemade grits if they aren't too lumpy and gummy. My mother's grits weren't the best in the world and I never really learned how to make them that well so instant works best for me. :) Just had lots of bacon and butter along with my scrambled eggs.

[gaming master]

Grits with cheese man! One pack and one cheese...

[xerorepman]

So much for being less political.

I prefer Quick grits to Instant. It is the same thing but you need to let them set a little longer to fully absorb the liquid. Add cheese or bacon or eggs it all tastes good. However nothing beats a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the morning. But you got to be careful because the warm toast melts the peanut butter and it will dribble out on your shirt.

[Jeff]

Um......How did a poll on grits get up to three pages?

Bet it stops here :(

Thread Killer

[AliMc1977]

Ok I give up Jeff....why do you call yourself the thread killer?

He is a man of power, he has the ability to shut down a thread with his almighty keystroke, think about but don't do it on company time.

THREAD KILLA!
HE HAS THE POWER OF ONE SWIFT KEYSTROKE TO COMPLETELY ERASE YOU

[ejsdaughter]

:D Well, I can say that I have just learned how to cook real cornbread (not Jiffy), and I must say it is the best I have had yet. Grits is a different story. I just go to the Huddle House and have them there! :dunno:

[0ldman]

I generally eat instant grits when I eat grits, but that's just because I'm a lazy punk with too much work to do to bother to cook real food.

Real food is supper... breakfast and lunch are to keep you alive until then. :D

but instant grits suck without some cheese.

[debby]

I love my cheese grits with an egg in it and a glass of chocolate milk.

[Celeste]

You got it! Grits is Grits. Not some " mess" concocted in Nue YUawk!
lol
