Grits is Groceries!

And we must eat to keep our strength up to get through and celebrate this great Clemson football season. So, who do you guys/gals prefer for stone ground grits, made in SC? Anson Mills? Carolina Plantation? Anyone know of a SC grits producer who is a Clemson supporter? Thanks all and Go Tigers!

about 1972 in Littlejohn. An old blues song, can't remember who did the original, maybe Little Milton, but Wet Willie's version was good. "If I don't love you ba--bee..., then, grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry and Mona Lisa was a man!"

Woods Corn Mill in Pelzer grinds the best grits I've cooked yet.
You can go to Pelzer or the Greenville Farmers Market to buy them. They also have a Facebook page with their phone number posted. They will ship.

I was at that game with my Dad. He passed 21 years ago today. It was a great trip. Our "seats" were folding chairs on the field level and my biggest memory of the game was that with the "crown" of the field, and the teams were on the far side of the gridiron, we could only see the players from the waist up! Think about that.

Field sounds like the crown Ford had in DV so

his youngsters could 'always be running downhill'
We sat around the goal line on the end farthest from TD Jesus. Wooden bleachers! but stood the whole game contrary to requests that we sit. We told those around us Clemson didnt have seats in the stadium so we knew no other way to watch a game.
Incredible game wasn't it!!!

Yes it was. We flew from Charleston to Savannah?? to Chicago to South Bend. We rented a car to the stadium and coming through the parking lots we were stopped by some tailgaiting ND fans who told us (to our surprise} that they knew that Clemson was in SC and they knew about Danny Ford and were very worried about the game. We didn't expect that they would be so friendly and respectful. The game was a struggle on both sides but Clemson won the turnover battle and left with a win. It was Dan Devine's last year at ND.

What are Grits:
Nov 19, 2015, 1:42 AM
|
|
What Are Grits? Some folks believe grits are grown on bushes and are harvested by midgets by shaking the bushes after spreading sheets around them. Many people think grits are made from ground up bits of white corn. These are lies spread by communists and terrorists. Nothing as good as a Grits could be made from corn. Research suggests that the mysterious Manna that God rained down upon the Israelites during their time in the Sinai Desert was most likely Grits. Critics disagree, stating that there is no record of biscuits, butter, salt, and red eye gravy raining down from the sky, and that God would not punish his people by forcing them to eat Grits without these key ingredients. How Grits are formed? Grits are formed deep underground under intense heat and pressure. It takes over 1,000 years to form a single Grit. Most of the world's grit mines are in Georgia and are guarded day and night by armed guards and attack dogs. Harvesting the Grit is a dangerous occupation, and many Grit miners lose their lives each year so that Grits can continue to be served morning after morning for breakfast-- not that having Grits for lunch and dinner is out of the question. Yankees have attempted to create a synthetic Grits. They call them Cream of Wheat. As far as we can tell, the key ingredients of Cream of Wheat are Elmer's Glue and shredded Styrofoam. These synthetic grits have also been shown to cause nausea, and can leave you unable to have children. Historical Grits: As mentioned earlier, the first known mention of the Grits was by the Ancient Israelites in the Sinai Desert. After that, Grits were not heard from for another 1000 years. Grits were used during this time only during secret religious ceremonies, and were kept from the public. The next mention of Grits was found amidst the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii in a woman's personal diary discovered in the seat of an old sedan. The woman's name was Herculania Jemimana, who was known as Aunt Jemima to her friends. How to Cook Grits: For one serving of Grits: Boil 1.5 cups of water with salt and a little butter. Add 5 Tbsp. of Grits. Reduce to a simmer and allow the Grits to soak up all the water. When a pencil stuck into the grits stands alone, they are done. That's all there is to cooking grits. How to make red eye gravy: Fry salt cured country ham in cast-iron pan. Remove the ham when done and add coffee to the gravy and simmer for several minutes. It’s great on grits and biscuits. How to Eat Grits: Immediately after removing your grits from the stovetop, add a generous portion of butter or red eye gravy. Do NOT use low-fat butter. The butter should cause the Grits to turn a wondrous shade of yellow. Hold a banana or a yellow rain slicker next to your Grits; if the colors match, you have the correct amount of butter. In lieu of butter, pour a generous helping of red eye gravy on your grits. There should be some left for sopping up with your biscuits. Use biscuits made from scratch. Never, ever substitute canned or store-bought biscuits for the real thing because they can cause cancer, tooth decay and impotence. Next, add salt. The correct ratio of Grit to Salt is 10:1 Therefore, for every 10 grits you should have 1 grain of salt. Now begin eating your grits. Always use a fork; never use 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 rarely be eaten in a bowl because Yankees will think its Cream of Wheat. Ways to Eat Leftover Grits: Leftover grits are extremely rare and may only be a rumor. 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 but delicious.

Doubt they are Tiger supporters (not many of us around these parts) but Blackwood Mill in the Johnsonville area. Don't think they sell to much out of this neck of the woods though.
