We have a mild winter, kinda like mid-US. Not long or hard, snow comes and doesn't stay too long. The land is pretty flat, get some wind there. My brother-in-law has a wooded acreage where we started with the pecan trees, I guess we could plant guava between the acacia, willows, pecans and birch trees to protect them from the wind. He heats with the acacia and birch. We'll see soon, I want to go down again in spring.
Where cornmeal is finely ground corn grits are coarse ground hominy made from corn . So its a hot cereal made from hominy .
Im sure if you look back a few pages on this topic or other food threads grits are discussed throughly .
okay, never knew what it was, not something referred to in the UK , I think I saw it on one of the John Wayne westerns "The Undefeated" didn't look too appetising !!!
Lol, I guess my auto spell checker doesn't know what Tobasco is.
I’m a southerner so will probably be persecuted for this but grits are a bland tasteless concoction that reminds me of polystyrene. It seems like they would be really healthy so I’ve tried to eat them dozens of times but just can’t get to like them without smothering them in butter, sugar or salt, or other things that get rid of any health benefits they might have. I did have shrimp and grits that wasn’t bad with a spicey Louisiana red sauce. All that good flavor drowned out the blandness of the grits.
