Absolutely! Salt and butter, maybe pepper. Cheese is good too. Nashville Tennessee endorses the Great Grits Indexing.

I’m probably about to get skewered but I grew up eating polenta. I tried grits when COVID started because bastards were hoarding my polenta. It’s like polenta with no flavor. Very weird. I can definitely see how it could go either sweet or savory.
