And do you eat them plain or mix them with other stuff? I think I enjoy them plain the most.

not all that often but I do like them a lot, especially mixed with cheddar
Only when I’m defending my cousin and his friend in a murder trial.
I only ate them in basic
Whenever I can get good grits! Which is few and far between 😢
I remember when I was in the Army we had them nearly every meal. To be honest, the Army sucks at making grits but maybe that was just the cooks we had. The ones during our cook outs were pretty great though.
I’ve had them once in my life. They were cheddar grits.
Couple times a month at least.
Only when I’m down south
I’d say 3 times in 52 years.
For me it happens in phases. Sometimes it’s one or two times a week or I’ll go months without.
ETA: cheese milk and butter baby…. It’s the southern way! Some people put sugar in theirs which feels blasphemous to me.
Once every few years
Never.
I have never eaten grits in my life
Maybe once a month/once a quarter. I don’t eat them at home often but if I go out for breakfast I’ll most likely get them
Never. They can be hard to find in my area, or at least used to be. Never knew they existed until our first trip to Florida when I was a kid. Was at a truck stop to get breakfast and my sister tried and loved grits lol. My mom had a heck of a time finding her grits when we returned home (Wisconsin).
Going to get hate for this but never. Only had them once and not for me. NY asshole ik
Daily, with salt usually, sometimes with black pepper also. Sometimes with a dash of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, etc. as well. Sometimes with butter.
I’m from the deep south
not often, once every couple of months
A couple times a month. I like mine cooked in vegetable broth with shredded cheddar on top.
Few times a year
About once a week. Typically flavored with country ham.
Answers will vary significantly by region.
I’d eat Gouda grits daily, if available!!
A couple times per month. Usually just with butter and salt.
I have never had them.
I had it yesterday and today (leftovers). New Years Eve meal of steak and grits.
Before that? Maybe 5 times in my life.
Maybe twice a month. If I’m staying with my grandmother, every single morning lol
Grits are a southern dish–they are good with a little salt, pepper, and butter. They are also good when you add in cheddar cheese. Many people in the northern and western states will not have eaten them ever.
Grits are a traditional, regional (southeastern) food typically eaten during breakfast but finds its way into other non-breakfast dishes like shrimp & grits.
So as a whole people in the us probably do not eat them much. However if you ask a native southerner then it ranges from weekly to monthly.
I’ve never had grits and I don’t know where I’d get any in California.
Grits are my favorite, I eat them very often! Cheese grits are my favorite but plain are good too
Once in my whole life. Granted I live pretty far north, being a mainer myself
I’ve never had them; I don’t think they’re too popular in California.
The hell are grits
never. I don’t really know what they are
Never had them. They aren’t common in the Midwest.
I have never had grits, am I missing out?
Every time I go to Waffle House.
Ate it quite often as a kid, far less as an adult.
99.9999% of the time, it’s mixed with butter. The trick is to add enough butter so it tastes good, but not so much that you turn it into gritbutter soup.
Not enough and thank you for reminding me about them.
AFAIK, I have never had grits. And I’m 79 years old.
1-2 month. I make “cheesy grits” using parmesan cheese and a lot of garlic.
I roll the leftovers up into a log and wrap in foil or plastic wrap. It firms up nicely in the fridge. I slice this into “polenta coins” and fry it in a small amount of olive oil to use up the leftovers…it is soooooo good!
Once a week or 2.
Once or twice a week, usually with two eggs over easy. I add butter to them and mix in some of the eggs with each bite.
