It is beautiful! I absolutely love this for breakfast.

Oh hay, do you want me to make a larger size of the pic for you? I sized it down a lot for my LJ. What size is your desktop resolution?

oh okay. So, it's kinda like a fried cornbread of sorts.

noooooooo not even close, lol

It is made from either white corn or hominy. It can be fried but it is nothing like corn bread. You don't make it in to a batter like cornbread. You can make it in to a mush like you do oatmeal, and then let it set up and slice it off and fry it however. It is not polenta either but it can be used in various ways that are similar to making polenta.

I might not be as good at describing it so you can do a google search for the wikipedia page and perhaps grits recipes so you can get to know what it is all about. :)

Got to try that Franks hot sauce on my eggs. I've been using Heinz Chili Sauce.

I alternate all different hot sauces. I even use dave's insanity sauce once in a while (wow that stuff is HOT!)

But with the hominy grits you just need to have franks. Each hot sauce has such a different flavor.
