Always wondered about this...so just looked it up!

Grits = Porridge (essentially), right? Fantastic with Maple Syrup....

Mash Potato? Fantastic with mustard and grated cheese through it....

But I never understand why seem to have, forgive me if I'm wrong, a plate of grits with their vegges/meat?

From a Brit...that is just.....wrong!

@SammyJo yup...i think the same. Mash and porridge are really interchangeanle are they??
Bangers and grits with baked beans?? I dont think so!

@RubySoo Now...cornbread and beans is nice...I've had that....but, yes, potatoes and porridge really shouldn't be in the same post code....just sayin'

Hmmmmm.....250 odd years of independence and you guys [i]think this[/i] is appropriate?!? LMAO!!!!!!

@SammyJo Breakfast grits are generally served with bacon or sausage, and grits are usually prepared with butter, sometimes cheese (maple syrup ? That’s a “no” here ! 🤢)
A popular brunch dish is shrimp and grits.

@bijouxbroussard Y'see....wrong, wrong, wrong! First off...I'm a veggie, and Bacon? Yuck! Lol! Our porridge is made from oats and please do try them with Maple Syrup...that's a taste sensation right there!
