Grits


The essence of good grits lies (in) freshly milled whole-grain products, which helps to retain the flavor. Quick or instant grits are available in cans but the quality seems to suffer in the canning process. The result is grits that are usually described as tasting like "library paste."
That would be my opinion.

The world can be divided into two camps, those who love grits and those that despise them. There is no middle ground. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Since encountering GRITS as an acronym on a music playlist some years ago, I can't shake off the association between the word "grits" and Ghost Riders In The Sky.

Those of us fortunate enough to live here, understand that the acronym stands for "Girls raised in the South."
I trust that will soon replace your fondness for Ghosts.

Ah, those pesky acronyms... I couldn't help sniggering at this news item from the Philippine Daily Inquirer: Gov’t to press peace talks with MILF.
