There's something supremely unappetizing about all these slabs and rolls of Misc. Layered Meats.

Like this monstrosity:

My reaction to this was way stronger than I was expecting. Maybe it's because I've been almost exclusively vegetarian for so long now, or maybe it's related to my hangups over handling raw chicken since I worked in a fried chicken shop as a teen, but something about that video made me feel really ill. Like other than the fact that it'd be a huge slice of unseasoned meat.

Yeah grits need to be flavoured or paired with poo poo. Otherwise it's pretty akin to eating straight mashed potato. They're a substrate not a solo food
But mashed potato is delicious and I would eat a whole plate of it basically any time. Sure, it's better with other stuff, but it's pretty drat good on its own merits.

For most of that video I was thinking it was just an overly complicated food that probably wouldn't be nearly as good as you'd hope, but that twist at the end actually made me recoil and cry out in disgust.

Tiggum's day on a plate

7am Two plain white supermarket hotdog buns, hold the condiments.

9:45am A single weetbix, dry, to keep the energy levels up.

1pm He treats himself to a nice hot meal of plain white rice.

3:45 Turn around those flagging energy levels in mid-afternoon with a handful of rolled or steel cut oats, dry.

7pm Home for a nice heaped plate of mash.

Just don't eat grits without some kind of seasoning or topping, even just salt and pepper.

It's a piece of JUNK!
"Grits aren't good without seasoning" is not a knock against grits. There's a pretty short list of foods that are good without seasoning. It's like when people complain that vegetables or fish aren't good unless you add all kinds of stuff to them. AKA cooking.

Maybe you've just never had good mashed potatoes? I'm not talking about your boring, low-flavour varieties with milk for consistency and nothing else. I mean good mashed potatoes. Désirée potatoes, plenty of butter, pepper, herbs.

Grits are an abomination as it is, but holy poo poo: 1/3 cup of sugar is literally an ingredient in that monstrosity.

The one person that made it died of DKA.

1/3 cup white sugar, or to taste.

So you can add more if you want!! :barf:

I saw the "1 person made it" thing too and I was like "please be the person that posted it" and I guess it doesn't actually show you. But I will assume it is. For the sake of my sanity.

Grits are definitely a polarizing food. But I think we can all come together, grit lovers and haters alike, to hate this recipe. It's kind of beautiful really.

Good mashed potatoes consist of the following: Potatoes, milk, butter, garlic in the appropriate ratios.

Let the rest of it come from whatever sauce or stew you're having with them.

When I discovered putting whole cloves of garlic in with the potatoes to cook, mashed potatoes became my favorite food

I've eaten a packet of instant mashed potatoes right out of the pan with nothing but salt. It wasn't very good. Same with plain white rice. The best you can say about stuff like that is that it is edible. Don't do it if you like yourself unless you will starve otherwise.

Ye who haven't had grits/didn't like them:

Get a bag of Bob's Red Mill grits, these are widely available.

Boil with a 4:1 ratio of liquid:grits. Use flavorful liquid. Half chicken stock, half milk works. Salt/pepper it here.

Stir a lot while this is happening. Pro move is to trick a friend into agreeing to stir for you. Cook until it's thick and creamy.

Shred a ton of cheese and add, melt it in. Adjust salt and pepper. Eat.

This will convert you to grits and then you can start playing with different styles.

I have no idea why you would even bother serving unseasoned grits unless you just really hate Boy Scouts

When I was in cub scouts, we went camping one year and had plain oatmeal cooked with some of the most metal tasting well water ever for breakfast. I don't know what I was being punished for but I was certainly sorry.

Cracker Barrel gives you the grits totally unseasoned. It's up to you to add salt and pepper (the only condiments on the table) to try and improve the taste from watery corn mush.

Like you could put a bacon lattice, some sausage and cheese on top of the dough and roll that up, and in god's name add some butter and cinnamon if the voices tell you that's what you must do, and that would at least make some kind of sense and look a bit novel.
