Is it wrong savory oatmeal sounds delicious?

[OldLady]

Interesting.
I just cant wrap my head around it. But then I love bacon in my grits so I guess I can see it working.
The texter is what I think I'd find off putting.
Let us know how it comes out.

Grits with bacon, cheese and butter is how to properly serve grits............ Unless you're a New Englander..........

In SC it's shrimp n creamy style grits. Personally I like them fried best. Pour the cooked grits into a greased loaf pan and set them in the fridge overnight to set up. Next morning dump the loaf pan and slice the grits into thin slices then pan fry in bacon grease. Serve with a little syrup or even. Molasses. Now that's southern cooking the deep south way.

Now I've had shrimp grits living on the Gulf Coast but I've never had grits like you described them.
Definitely going to have to try that.

You'll probably like it. Kinda like grits served like pancakes. Of course it goes well with bacon and eggs or ham and eggs too. Ever tried pork tenderloin sliced and fried up for breakfast with eggs? Another alternative for me is fresh caught bass fried up for breakfast.

I think I've cooked up every animal known to man with eggs for breakfast.
Where did you have this? Like I said I've lived in Texas my whole life and have never heard of grits cooked this way.

Well I can't say for sure I was born in Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, then grew up in both of the Carolinas, north first then south.

So it sounds like a regional thing.

My grandmother is from Maine, several generations. I think it's a leftover thing.

Rattlesnake? Tastes like chicken. LOL

Kinda...I'd say it's closer to frog.

LOL frog legs are too damn much work for too little meat. Beat's starvation though.

Whaaaat!!??
You get some good one's and they're damn near the size of a chicken leg!!

Well I"ve only gone out and gigged my own but the frogs, even bull frogs weren't all that big.

Cant wait to ask the Wife if She's ever heard of fried grits.
She grew up in a town of around 250 people back in Her day,now it has 471...Bedias Texas.
So she's Hardcore Countr

They're delicious that way. I always have trouble with them sticking to the bottom of the frypan, though.

I'm shocked I've never heard of them living in Texas my whole life.
Maybe it's a regional thing.

It's a deep south thing I think and Texas isn't the deep south. I think of the deep South as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

Geographically we're further south but I see your point.
Texas has a lot of different food influences,some deep south some cajun some Mexican some French.
Things like mustard greens and the like are the same throughout the south.

I fell in love with collard greens when I visited the south.

Down South chicken leg sizes are common.
We work an ox bow lake off the Trinity River in the bottoms and they're Huge!!
Of course the Alligators can be pretty big as well but thats why we carry side arms.

I fell in love with collard greens when I visited the south.

....turnip greens, mustard greens. Love 'em.

Try Lamb's Quarter or dandilion greens made like turnip or collard...if you have an unpoluted area to forage.

Dandelion Greens with a Kick

Dandelion greens make a speedy and terrific tasting side dish, especially when cooked with onion, garlic, and a big pinch of red pepper flakes.

I live in the southwest now, New Mexico to be exact, here we serve Green Chili Cheese Grits with Chorizo...........

 

[OldLady]

The south has the best food.

The only thing I had down there I didn't like was Bbq Shrimp. It was a real let down, too. Kept hearing how great it was, we went to this place that was supposed to be famous for it. It has Worcestershire in it, what's not to like, right? I choked down four and couldn't do anymore, even though I was hungry. There was some herb in it or something I just hated. Don't know what it was..
