Yawn Spin off from another topic

Last week I posted a topic on the difference between grits and polenta. I was just wondering though, what kinds of dishes grits would be an appropriate side dish for ?. Thanks.

Eggs and bacon...True southern breakfast.
They really don't eat grits for other meals in Louisiana.

Now, Shroomgirl, that's just not true!
The old New Orleans classic grillades is always served with grits regardless of the time of day. A midnight breakfast or brunch or Mardi Gras buffet. We often had grits with liver and onions at supper. Daddy loves them with head cheese at lunch. My daughter (both raised in Washington, DC) love them anytime. My grandmother gave us bowls of grits with sugar and butter as an after-school treat.
Shrimp and grits is fabulous Carolina low-country cuisine.
Anytime is grits time! Always amazes me that people who rave about polenta turn up their noses at grits. Same thing after all.

Thought you'd enjoy this one, Margeret. A chef-instructor at J&W-Charleston once asked the class what the difference between grits and polenta was. The answer? $5 difference on the menu price!

Shrimp and Grits is a wonderful Carolina tradition: grits, sharp cheddar hotsauce and butter combo. Rendered bacon, scallion and shrimp cooked in the bacon fat over top...not for the cholesterol-leary!

Fried grits aka grilled polenta...

Grits Souffle often served with pork dishes

Grits and Grillades..

My Romanian grandmother called it mamaliga. Can't say she ever served it with sausage gravy, though. Check this out: http://jewishfood.about.com/food/jew...blmamaliga.htm
