How to eat grits:

• Always use a fork, never a spoon to eat grits.
• Your grits should be thick enough so they do not run through the tines of the fork.
• The correct beverage to serve with grits is black coffee.
• DO NOT use cream or, heaven forbid, skim milk.)
• Your grits should never be eaten in a bowl, because Damnyankees will think its Cream of Wheat.

Ways to Eat Leftover Grits: (First of all, leftover grits are extremely rare, but if you must, here’s the correct way:)

• Spread them in the bottom of a casserole dish.
• Cover and place them in the refrigerator overnight.
• The grits will congeal into a gelatinous mass.
• Next morning, slice the grits into squares and fry them in 1/2' of cooking oil and butter until they turn a golden brown.
• Many people are tempted to pour syrup onto grits served this way. This is, of course, unacceptable.

SOUTHERN BLESSING BEFORE EATING GRITS

May the lord bless these grits,

May no Damnyankee ever get the recipe,

May I eat grits every day while living,

And may I die while eating grits.

AMEN
