The odd thing about them is the number of ways people eat grits. I've heard of sugar and jelly; salt and butter; with red eye gravy; and with a tomato slice.

Perhaps this should be a Big Hint that grits themselves are completely without taste and are merely a way to eat cheese and seasonings (or whatever) without feeling guilty about just eating cheese with seasonings on it...? Much like those expensive jars of Italian artichokes in basil and olive oil are just an excuse for eating lots of olive oil with basil in?
