My father was asked that same question near The Great Smokey Mountains!That’s just a Yankee trying to say Gritz
Reminds me years ago when I was on vacation passing through Arizona and stopped in a Diner for breakfast. The waitress asked me what I wanted, I said two eggs over easy, bacon, toast, and grits.
She paused a second cocked her head and gave me a puzzled look, then said, What are Greets?

I spelt it the way I say it when I'm ordering it in a little diner in Dunn North Carolina.TT, are you trying to spell grits?
With butter and salt is how I have them. I couldn't imagine grits with cinnamon and sugar... Would that be a misdemeanor or a felony I wonder...Everyone knows grits are delicious with butter and salt. My (former) SIL was from PA and insisted on putting cinnamon and sugar on them.
I had to whisper when ordering breakfast in NC “hold the grits, and substitute it with ANYTHING ELSE….Must have been on the Northern side of the Smokies
She was right, but I would add milk.Everyone knows grits are delicious with butter and salt. My (former) SIL was from PA and insisted on putting cinnamon and sugar on them.
No need to whisper, I usually carry Instant Grits with me when I travel into Yankee occupied lands. I’ve found I can usually get boiling water anywhere I travelI had to whisper when ordering breakfast in NC “hold the grits, and substitute it with ANYTHING ELSE….

I cannot speak on griyets as I have never heard of them. Some day I’d like to order some and know the deliciousness that you already enjoy.Ah do declare: do yankees even enjoy griyets?
I'm sure griyets with butter and salt will be an option at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Ronnie, you can have some then... don't your kitchen folk ever serve them?I cannot speak on griyets as I have never heard of them. Some day I’d like to order some and know the deliciousness that you already enjoy.
Fortunately, there's a suitable emoji for gritsWhere’s the edit button when I need it…..
That’s funny because you’d probably need a magnifying glass to see a gritFortunately, there's a suitable emoji for grits
When I was on Active Duty, someone I knew from Alaska (not TT) had a "discussion" with a waitress someplace in the south, and finally got her to bring him "a grit" so he could try it. After inspecting it very carefully, he sent the plate with "a grit" on it back untouched, and ordered whatever else was available instead of the grits
