Yeah, like johnny cakes! I use a glass baking dish, pour the hot grits that I'm not eating immediately into it, let cool and refrigerate. Slice em up when you are ready to fry. If I want a dessert I fry em up and add maple syrup 'n butter.

Great.

Every now and then I make Jacques Pepin’s broccoli rice stew recipe (kind of a lazy person’s risotto with brown rice and sautéed onion) and just throw some sardines on top of it. Cheap and delicious.

The coolest way to mold grits for slicing and frying is with a pint glass. The end result is the same, but something about using a pint glass is really satisfying.

Maybe a dumb question, but it's canned fish related. Do canned anchovies not age well?

Had a tin a year past best buy date, thought nothing of it until it was opened. Maybe 3 of the 6 fillets were together, the other half seemed to be mush. Only thing I figure is the oil to fish ratio is way more tilted towards oil in canned anchovies. Tasted fine, mush and all, used sparingly in a salad. KO brand if that means anything. Anyone else have any old anchovie experiences? Maybe just a bad tin.

I will need to try this sardines and grits.

I was so tired and hungry after running yesterday that I scarfed down sardines straight from the tin.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

fried grits works best if you make the grits ahead and leave em in the fridge until you need em. anything you can do with polenta you can do with grits; they're basically polenta for people who don't shop at whole foods

I made a soft taco with tater tots, shredded napa cabbage and Tapatio KOs.

It was just what I had on hand and seems to random to work but it was pretty drat good? Had the combo once before but I can't remember if I thought to inform the internet or not.

If you have access to grits/polenta, butter, and milk, then yes you can.

Grits are just coarse ground cornmeal, so I would think you can get grits just about anywhere.

cornmeal is a thing here but the only stuff I've seen is ground to white dust & used for thickening gravy & the like, not seen course stuff.

maybe I'm not looking hard enough, I'll try harder :)

Bloody hell, they sell it in sainsburys... cheers guys I'll give it a try.

The trick though is to get stone ground grits, not instant or quick grits. Stone ground are coarser and haven't been processed as much and have a much better flavor. I suspect you could find polenta, instant or quick grits anywhere, but dry stone-ground can be surprisingly hard to find even here in the Southern US. 2 out of 3 large grocery chains that are nearby don't carry them.

Now excuse me while I go eat my daily 'dines with a whole lot of nothing else. :getin: :coolfish:

All you grits virgins need to try a true classic - Shrimp and Grits . I picked that recipe at random but it gives you the basic idea- shrimp, grits, butter, cheese, hot sauce

Honestly the idea of eating grits & a tin of spicy tomato-based sardines sounds appealing.

Somewhat related, what's the go-to canned Mediterranean tuna y'all recommend? I was eating sushi with a friend yesterday & we got into discussing sustainable tuna options.

not always; grits are often made from hominy, which is corn sent through an alkali process that increases its bioavailability

they dont have to be though. sometimes they are just coarse meal

Definitely trying when this bag of palmetto farms is gone. I have some grits on right now. Speaking of, grit people: How do i get those grits you see in pictures, less a soup and more like blobs? I imagine its the consistency of what you get when you scrape the bottom when stirring. Slow cooker? Just leaving them on for forever and a day?

Of course now I can't find a picture of what I mean. I guess "dry" vs. "wet"? Though I've only seen that terminology referenced in a recipe comment, nowhere else. Guessing it's just a water thing?

EDIT EDIT: ALSO how do I prevent skin from forming beyond leaving them covered? that isn't working

Grits is pretty straightforward in terms of cooking. It's all about the water/grits ratio & making sure you're stirring it enough after you combine the two.

Here's a minute-long vid on making grits:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6R-80q0kQQ

skin forming happens when your grits have been sitting out in the open for a while. Just cover them.

Like I said, beyond covering. I must not be stirring enough, though I feel like I'm babying them. I do leave a crack though, maybe I'll stop doing that. I've made them plenty of times so it's not like i'm a complete retard who needs "how to make grits" explained to me, I'm asking specific techniques to get a specific result. Thank you!

This made me think of how I hadn't bothered to install scriptblockers in my web browser at work since I use the Internet pretty lightly there, and even from that little usage the amount of targeted advertising I started getting was disturbing. I do some searches on work-related stuff, and then my personal Facebook page starts shilling for those things in sponsored ads. It was creepy.

I now have my normal complement of privacy extensions running on my work computer, too.
