re: Sugar in grits? ... going to hell.

I'll give you an upvote.

Born and raised in New Orleans and always grew up eating them sweet with sugar and butter.

Wasn't until later that I started making them with salt, pepper, and cheese; and I probably enjoy them more that way.

That said, grits were never a staple in our household and don't do much for me now as an adult.

Cream of Wheat all day, every day!
