Penny, listen to the Old Big Mick carefully......ignore 'Spaw.........grits remind him of used kitty litter.........and I implore you to try them with the pat of real butter, salt and pepper to taste. I am a northerner who was introduced to the wonder of grits IN TEXAS by a beautiful red headed woman to whom I am forever grateful. Next thing you know you will be throwin' "y'alls" around and wearing western clothes. Grits are some of God's best work. LOL
