Where do you stand on the issue, salt or sugar?

I'm salt all day.

sugar. My parents were from small communities in West Central Louisiana - not even big enough to be towns - and we always ate them for breakfast and used sugar.

I didn't know grits were a salt or sugar choice.
I've never heard of grits with sugar
I always thought grits were a salt and Oatmeal was a sugar (although I ate Oatmeal with Tony's and eggwhites during a diet)

Neither

I like the taste of the little bugs in the pack and salt or sugar tends to mess that up.

And butter.

Also cheese. Garlic too.
Onion, celery, bell pepper, crawfish tails too.

Now that's grits.

Salt for me, though I could see sweet grits being served and a sweet grit cake might be mighty good with a fruit compote or something along those lines. A little syrup...I could do that.

Salt. Even if you put sugar in your grits (not sure why anyone would) you still need salt. Salt in everything.

I think it's a country thing.

The other thing that I've seen them do is chop sunny side up eggs until you can't see they're eggs anymore, mix them into the bowl of grits, and add their sugar.

My grandpa used to make grits and eggs but they werent sunny side up and I dont recall any sugar. Just a ton of butter and salt and pepper. I never did learn exactly how he made the eggs though.

I remember thinking, man...I just ruined this food.
