I must admit, until I made this last night, not only had I never made grits, I'd never even eaten them. What can I say... I was born and raised in California, as were both my parents. However, I adore polenta, and this tasted a lot like polenta to me. We liked this a lot (okay, not my son, but DH and I), and I'll make it again.
