In the South we eat them with a pot of brown beans like we would cornbread with butter on it.

When you get back from Charleston, I’d love you to give shrimp and grits a go. I believe Wegmans does offer regular and instant grits

I think these are more of a historical New England dish. Not a lot of rep these days.

It’s not a pancake or cake it’s like cornbread you eat it like bread with your meal.

Does anyone remember Vito Spatafore having them at the diner somewhere in New England, on the Sopranos? He was on the run for obvious reasons. 😬

You have to use a more finely ground cornmeal. That improves it.

I grew up on the south shore, and I've heard of them. I don't know why I seem to be the only one who has in these comments. maybe it's because I'm gen x, or because my dad was a chef.
