So Yankee country actually has a place that makes pretty decent iced tea. Like, they realize the shit's supposed to sweet and not made with fake tea (and if it's fake tea, it must be pretty good fake tea)

*calls hell to ask if they're cold*

I lived in South Carolina for 3 months. Grits aren't actually bad, they're just not good either. They taste like nothing. Although I have eaten them voluntarily in the field cause they stay warm a long time. So you can dunk your cold sausage and eggs in them and still have a hot meal XD My grandmother is from New Orleans. She thinks grits are wonderful, just like every other Southerner I've met.

I HATE sweet tea. I like real tea with nothing in it. The best part about getting back to California was that they have unsweetened tea there.

Also I'm not a yankee. Colorado wasn't even a state during the civil war, kthx.

I like my grits with cheese. My one sister goes nuts with sugar, and my other sibs mix it up. Salt and butter is good too, but cheese is best ^_^

If you're not a rebel, you're a yankee or close enough.

Nah... she's not a yankee... she's one of the mountain people. :)

I like to add brown sugar to cream of wheat, but that's about as close to grits as I get.

I've tried grits. I forget what resturant (probably Waffle House), but they asked if I wanted them & I said I'd try them & they were nasty. XP

Give me some Goetta instead!

People like to fix grits like they'd fix oatmeal or cream of wheat - which is completely the wrong way. Do it that way they taste like sludge or worse. You can ask Sarah - she tried my dad's grits over christmas and liked them plenty then.
