Grits is a food of Native American origin common in the Southern United States and mainly eaten at breakfast. Modern grits is commonly made of alkali-treated corn known as hominy.
Grits are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta or the thinner farina. "Instant grits" have been processed to speed cooking.
The word "grits" derives from the Old English word "grytt," meaning coarse meal. This word originally referred to wheat and other porridges now known as groats in parts of the U.K., maize being unknown in Europe in the Middle Ages. "Grits" may be either singular or plural; historically, in the American South the word was invariably singular notwithstanding its plural form (cf. such food names as "spaghetti" or "linguine", likewise plural in form but singular in usage). Grits are sometimes called sofkee or sofkey (from the Muskogee word).
PeruHomer - I could have sworn that I read you post somewhere that you weren't actually in Peru? Which was why I was asking. Anyways....it's like polenta (which is something you should know?).
