coming from an Alabama boy, grits are made of finely ground corn (our grits are anyway). I may be the only Southerner that hates grits. Most people eat them for b'fast by putting butter and sugar in them. They are mainly eaten in Southern states. No offense to the Yanks out there. I have traveled all over the US and they are predominately found in the South. Unless you are at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Personally, never liked them never will.
