In keeping with the 'junk food' theme a bit back, what are 'grits'?

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I could go to wikipedia to check, but if you had wanted their answer, you probably would have just gone there. ![]() Edit: I did check the wikipedia article after all. It specified that grits are made of ground corn. The picture in the article showed grits in a bowl, so I may have been wrong about the "plate instead of a bowl" aspect of my answer. Oh well.

^ Grits are indeed made from corn (maize). What you may have seen eaten with a fork was whole hominy (corn kernels) but grits may be served either in a bowl or on a plate. In the South, they're often served with breakfast, instead of (or alongside) potatoes. I likes 'em -- butter and sugar, please.

I asked here instead of using Wikipedia because I knew I'd get variations on the same answer.
![]() Strangely, I had pictured some sort of fried meat of something. I don't know why exactly, I think that's just what the word 'grits' sounded like to me. I'm hungry...
