It's a porridge type thing, either savoury or sweet, I believe in the south states there's a lot of breakfast that include shrimp and grits, I saw this on masterchef actually

@SW-User They serve them rather plain for a side dish in southern restaurants, for breakfast and other meals. First time I had them was when I went to a casino buffet in Las Vegas…they try to put a lot of different foods out to please visitors from various areas of the country. I like them all right, they reminded me of a thick porridge. I have bought boxes of them to make a thinner breakfast porridge in the winter but I fancy them up…butter, some spices, walnuts and dates sometimes.

@cherokeepatti ooh nice, I think I'd like as long as it was a kind of a side thing, like not a whole bowl of them

@SW-User I can’t eat wheat porridge and don’t want oatmeal all the time. I had brown rice porridge but we ate it all up, need to order more.
