Grits are delicious. You should try them at least once before you die.
I've lived in the deep south all my life and I hate them.
How is that even possible? Maybe you didn't add enough butter. And cheese.
I hate gravy too...
How can you even say that? What did gravy do to you? Just wow

It makes biscuits soggy and ruins buttered mash potatoes and chicken fried steaks.

Doing a happy dance right now. I went to Michigan once for a event and people looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if they had grits. (Then they would say we have oatmeal). I am seeing grass fed butter, salt, pepper and bacon for breakfast for me tomorrow. I agree about the gravy though. 0

What about Semolina Porridge?0

This by far is the saddest post I have ever read!

That's just anti-American! Turn in your semi-automatic weapon, bottle rockets, and McDonald's club card

He's right about gravy.
Grits are good, though.0 -

Oatmeal is generally considered a no-no on the modern paleo diet, but the original paleo eaters were definitely grinding oats and other grains for dinner, according to new research.
Ya, I was wondering about this while reading "Clan of the Cave Bear" at the same time as the sample portion of "It Starts with Food" (which I didn't buy as I am only interested in learning about the theory behind the paleo diet, not actually doing it. I'll read some more when it comes in at my library.)
I thought that surely grains were available during the Paleolithic Era and thus harvested and eaten.

I had the most awesome grits in a Holiday Inn in South Carolina. Buttery goodness at 5am. *wipes drool* Can't get anything close to decent up north. 0

You're right. I completely spaced out that Italians actually use something that is made of corn.

Well, in fact polenta is typical of Northen Italy. Wheat based foods are more of the Southern regions: pasta was invented in Sicily, pizza in Naples...

And all this time I thought pizza was from New York, very disappointed 0 -

Occasional soul food or southern restaurant, maybe. That's where I'd go in Chicago (although I learned to like them because a southern friend used to serve cheese grits at dinners). I bet you could get something in Detroit (re the Michigan comment upthread).0 -

According to wiki:Jeffrey Steingarten asserts that Arabs introduced pasta in the Emirate of Sicily in the ninth century, mentioning also that traces of pasta have been found in ancient Greece and that Jane Grigson believed the Marco Polo story to have originated in the 1920s or 30s in an advertisement for a Canadian Spaghetti company.
So "invented in" might be a stretch. ;-)0 -

I don't even know. I meant sweet, delicious Grießbrei. With applesauce.0 -
But isn't corn more "evil" than wheat? Not that I'm even interested in eating paleo since it seems that so many foods are excluded. Maybe that's why people lose weight on it -- there aren't too many things left to eat since we can only eat what the caveman ate...and what was his average life expectancy?0
