Grits are wonderful if prepared correctly! They are NASTY if not cooked correctly. They have also become very "in" at resturants around the mid-atlantic states. They taste terrific with seafood!

Grits are like cream of wheat except made with corn. Cream of wheat can be good with a little milk a big dop of butter and sugar WITHOUT lumps. Lumps make it very very nasty. Almost impossible to make without constant stirring. I imagine grits are the same. I will say I had a supervisor who like the lumps in the cream of wheat.

I absolutely hate grits! Everyone in my family loves them except me I always say they are so gritty! haha, I don't know how to explain them. On the other hand I love cream of wheat, they are not at all similar to me.

You guys are all making me hungry!!

I never had grits until I moved to S. Florida. They're really good with gobs of butter and salt. Kind of similar to couscous but not as dry. I have some relatives in Georgia (country bumpkins..lol) that make a casserole called grits n greens. It's grits mixed with collard greens, cheese, bacon, etc. I have the recipe but am afraid to try it..not sure about the collard greens!!

Curry, on the other hand, is to die for!! I love it spicy. Curry chicken and goat, sounds awful but so good...(Sorry KK I know you're a veggie!)

I also love sushi, but I'm assuming the rice and seaweed may get a little tricky in the brackets as well, hmmm...

I haven't had any problems with sushi! The rice likes to get stuck but I didn't have any problems with the seaweed!
