Hillbilly food?

Question

Sometimes on old hillbilly movies, you hear them say that they are going have eat some "grits" what exactly does this term mean.

Answer 1

Grits are a grain that is boiled and eaten like oatmeal however can be savory by omitting the sugar and milk and adding tomatoes eggs or whatever you like, It is eaten any time of the day my son likes it with cheese.

Answer 2

Grits is a type of maize porridge and a food common in the Southern United States, and southern Manchuria (where it is called gezi in Mandarin) consisting of coarsely ground corn, traditionally by a stone mill. The results are passed through screens, with the finer part being corn meal, and the coarser being grits. Many communities in the South had a gristmill until the mid-20th century, with families bringing their own corn to be ground, and the miller retaining a portion of the corn for his fee. Grits aficionados still prefer stone ground grits, although modern milling tends to prefer faster methods.

The word "grits" comes from Old English grytta meaning a coarse meal of any kind. Yellow grits include the entire kernel, while white grits use hulled kernels. Grits are prepared by simply boiling into a porridge; normally they are boiled until enough water evaporates to leave them semi-solid. They are traditionally served at breakfast, but can also be used at any meal.

Answer 3

Grits is finely ground white corn. You cook it with water until it reaches a smooth consistency. Serve with or gravy. It is not a "hillbilly" food unles you would consider all people who live the South to be "hillbillies"Meant to say serve with eggs or gravy. Or put butter and salt and pepper on them. Grits are a traditionally southern food.

Answer 5

you can buy it in your local grocer usually, it will be on the cereal aisle. It is a rough ground corn (hominy) meal. You can eat it at breakfast or dinner. Some like it with butter, salt and pepper, cheese or even with onions. It really isn't too bad, my Dad liked it a lot, I have had it a few times and the instant version isn't all that bad. Kind of an acquired taste.
