Grits in gumbo instead of rice?

When I make my shrimp and grits, I use a gumbo like roux to place over the grits.
This got me thinking if grits would be good in gumbo instead of rice.
I use nicer stone ground grits in my shrimp, not some instant crap.
I use "Country Boy" grits out of Walker, LA
Anyone here make or tried grits in gumbo?

I love gumbo and I love grits but the two together just doesn't sound good at all.

I am thinking that texture would be all wrong

I would eat it

Yea, don't think the texture would be right. I like to "float" my rice in the gumbo. Since grits are sticky, that would be hard. You'd end up with a blob of grits with gumbo.

Blue Southern Comfort in Shreveport cranks out some good homemade food. She makes almost everything--- bacon jam, hot dogs, BBQ sauce, etc.---from scratch.
One of her dishes is gumbo served over cheese grits. I was skeptical, but it is pretty good, though a bit heavy for me. I still prefer rice, but it's worth a try. A lot of folks really like it.

Maybe, over rigatoni, next?

I could see putting a few spoonfuls of gumbo juice on top of grits, but rice is the only way to go.

I wouldn't do it in a bowl of gumbo.
Paul Prudhomme has a very good recipe for chicken and andouille etouffee which tastes similar to his gumbo. The texture of the etouffee is such that it would work over grits. Its much thicker than gumbo.

Grits? No.
Lumpy mashed potatoes? Hell yeah.

Rice &/or mustardy potato salad is my go to. Not saying I wouldn't try it if someone offered it to me but the texture seems wrong.

well OP started a thread bragging about a 20 year old scotch he thought had aged for 60+ years then asks about gumbo with grits.
he's either a troll or a moron.
