Where have you beeyen? (That's been with two syllables.)
If you've never eaten grits, you are deprived - - DEPRIVED!
In the movie, "My Cousin Vinny" the prosecutor is asking an old Black lady what she was doing at the time of the crime and she says, "Weyell, I was makin' me some grits." He interrupts, "Were they instant grits?" And the entire courtroom gasps. You see, there are grits and there are grits and instant grits just don't make it. Grits are similar to polenta - which is Italian for grits. You cook 'em real slow with lots of butter - they are essential at breakfast and are FAR better with eggs than potatoes. I am happy with just a big bowl full. Just like there are terms for a group of animals - such as a herd of elephants or a flock of geese - a large quantity of grits is referred to as - "A mess of grits." So go out there and git you some!
