Grits
意味: A Southern American porridge made from ground corn, served as a breakfast staple or side dish.
Grits are a quintessential Southern American food — creamy, ground corn porridge that can be served plain, with butter, with cheese ('cheese grits'), or with shrimp ('shrimp and grits'). They're a breakfast staple in the South and a marker of Southern identity. Asking 'Do you like grits?' is practically a test of Southern allegiance.
