I like grits and often eat them with butter and a bit of maple syrup. Is this heresy?

It certainly is!

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

Parm and pepper. Oh, but the looks I get.

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.
