When you eat Grits, season them to your taste, otherwise they'll be bland. Grits are a " Medium" of sorts. They can be mixed with scrambled eggs, bacon bits, etc.. A very adaptable good derived from ground Hominy.
Grits you go sweet or savory. For sweet add butter and sugar (and cinnamon if you have it). For savory, it’s butter, cheese and either andouille sausage or grilled spicy shrimp. Or both .
Only yankees would add sugar to grits! Abomination! Grits go best with bacon or ham and a couple of sunny side up eggs mixed in. Lots of salt and pepper and maybe a dash of hot sauce.
I was born and raised in the good ol’ USA and have never had grits. Not something I would want to try. Biscuits and gravy I love,if they’re made right. I’m enjoying watching your family trying different things. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ps.~ Sausage gravy is easy to make if you know how. Take ground sausage, form into patties, fully cook and then chop or blend into tiny bits. Take all purpose flour, stir into hot sausage grease until you get a pasty consistency and then add whole milk,va little at a time, stir and add milk sparingly repeating the milk addage until you've arrived at the desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Grits with sausage gravy on top or just salt and pepper or sharp cheddar cheese or fried eggs over medium put on top grits cut them up with the yolk soft and eat them like that and drizzle hot sauce or toast with concord grape jam, so many things you can do with grits for breakfast- than here in South Carolina we serve them with shrimp in a sauce-called lowcountry shrimp and grits for evening meal. It is a diversified side dish for breakfast .
Grits are always meant to be the carrier of savory foods. They are not made with ground cornmeal but with ground hominy which is processed corn. Can’t make cornbread and grits but they do make an interesting fry up from the leftovers that farmers used as a snack or meal in the field back in the day.
It’s amazing that Aiden associates hash browns with those hockey puck-shaped potato concoctions served at McDonalds. Now that I think about it, I think that’s what English hash browns are like - I’ve had similar with ‘full English’ breakfasts in the UK and on British Airways (with their ‘full English breakfast’ menu choice just prior to landing at Heathrow). 0:46
Only a weirdo would say Burger. LOL if I go and have a pork chop I would say I'm having a pork chop sandwich I would not dare say I'm having a pork chop Burger😂
Some people prefer salt, pepper and butter on their grits. I prefer adding some sugar into mine and a side of bacon for a savory start to my breakfast. Another option I am okay with is when cheese and bacon bits are added in.
whenever a european has told me they have been to america its always NYC/Miami/LA/Vegas its nice to see someone go to actual america and enjoy themselves

Love to see a vid talking about your experience. Get us out of our bubble and tell us the wins and fails. We aren't perfect but we try :) A lot of good people here, hope you found that out?
I would like to hear what Aiden has to say about his birthplace.I am glad that you all had a wonderful trip.it was a wonderful video of you guys visited the US.
Grits is a side dish! You use it like it's mashed potatoes. You don't eat it alone. It's always served with something usually you put butter or maple syrup and bacon on top. Often a fried egg is on top. But it's never just meant to be eaten alone. One fantastic way to enjoy grits is to roast a Cornish game hen along with a baked sweet potato and grits. But again you eat all of the ingredients together as a medley. Think of grits as similar to chutney. It's meant to compliment the main course
Butter and Sugar is the only way to go with Grits lol. And the thicker the better. Oddly enough the more north you go, typically they say butter and sugar goes on grits, and southerners say salt goes on grits. I was born and raised in Washington DC/Maryland so it's literally in between the north and the south so it's typically 50/50 on who says what. But different places have different variations of grits, typically in the Northeast its seafood and grits, so shrimp and grits, marylanders typically do some sort of crab and grits sometimes, southerners do it differently as you guys saw.
I love ending it with the dancing. Good editing call. 🤙 Hit the northeast and come to Baltimore once so Daz can either stop hating on it… or confirm his opinion. Life is an adventure lol
I’m sure many folks have told you how to eat grits. You need to add salt, pepper and a pad of butter or cheese. Restaurants usually don’t cook them with salt. They are very bland if you don’t add the salt. But I really like cheesy grits.
I’m in Texas and proper cheese grits are pretty good, it was a staple at certain holiday dinners. Otherwise you can’t hardly beat the good BBQ and steak places. I think most of us are good at cooking it ourselves too, great excuse to get together with friends!
You appeared to have a great experience! I think you made good decisions on visiting private restaurants or businesses. Some ppl on first trip get caught up on seeing or visiting everything name brand or logo place and miss the real things that make a town or city unique or special!
I'm a truck driver through all the southeast and drove most of the US so driving through it I find it quite boring because it's mostly trees then go through a city or town so I do get to see a lot of stadiums and some pretty cool looking big cities
OK, so Daz says if you go to What a burger, you have to order a burger because thats what they are known for.. and what did Daz get at THE WAFFLE HOUSE??? Why are you not eating the grits with a spoon??
If you get a chance, Chicago is a fantastic place to visit between May -October Seriously ! Midwest , 8 hours or less from many great destinations Great Lakes
I will tell you, sugar mixed in with grits makes them really good. Sausage gravy on hash browns is great as well. My fiance works across the street from the Whataburger you guys went to. I also use to live in Fairford England stationed at RAF Fairford and loved the area.
Fun video. Thanks for posting. Funny thing: There are people that have lived in the US their entire lives and are completely unaware that they’ve hit the life lottery jackpot. They whine and cry about the least little things…no pleasing some, I guess.
Grits are from ground hominy corn it is useally used as a filler for breakfast i have always had my eggs fried over easy then on my plate chop the eggs up and put the grits on then and mix it up and it will make the eggs last longer on your belly so your not snacking before lunch time
I remember the video Worcestershire sauce how it’s made and Gaynor saying Bloody Mary is disgusting and in this video she’s said Bloody Mary’s are delicious 😊
Need cheese with the grits!! I mix mine with scrambled eggs….maybe slap it on some toast with bacon or sausage and eggs and make a sandwich. So many possibilities lol
Y'all still gotta try the following, if you haven't already: Southern fried catfish, with hush puppies Boiled crawfish, with taters and sweet corn on the cob. Chicago style deep dish pizza, also Detroit style pan pizza. And have you been to a rodeo?
I second these recommendations. I'd like to add a plate of Carolina pulled pork with some collard greens and whichever carb side you haven't already tried. I'd have mac and chez.
Thank you for saying that sir I know the west coast doesn’t have Culver’s but I’ve had whataburger and Culver’s and for sure Culver’s is the best I’ll put shake shake in between
Is what I kept loudly saying to the TV! When they finally did it at the fancy place, they enjoyed it so much more! And good gracious, for the love of Mike - use a spoon and not a fork! It's as daft as trying to eat ice cream with a fork...!?!
Would love to have a video going over likes, dislikes and surprises on the trip. Also, I thought you were going to a Tennessee cfb games, or did you run out of time?
Really not much insight on how you felt ,what experiences were interesting- like how was it shooting the guns..did you have some hangovers. Don't get me wrong,enjoyed viewing your experiences - just not much insight
There are two camps for grits. Some like it with butter and salt and pepper others like a sweet version with syrup of some kind. Eaten plain would be unheard of.
I'm in the first camp, savory for sure. Maybe add some cheese or jalapeños. Bacon bits? He did mention maybe adding jelly when they were at WH. Kinda same flavor direction as syrup. Which is a huge no thanks for me. But I also strongly lean towards biscuits and gravys going together vs biscuits and jelly or honey. Whichever direction one goes, never eat a dry biscuit. Unless you like choking...
@@jenniferrichards9841 agree on savory. I’m trying to remember back a half century ago my first reaction to grits. I’m pretty sure I did not like them the first time I tried them as a child. But then again, I didn’t like beer the first time either so there you go. As for biscuits, if I’m eating them as a meal, bring on the sausage gravy. If having biscuits as a side, butter and honey will do just fine.
Grits is sort of like starting a dish with plain white rice. The dish becomes what you add to it.
Excellent way to explain it 😊
It is kind of insane to see someone just eat plain grits.
Anybody else put 4 servings in a loaf pan (with herbs and cheese), then slice it to reheat in a skillet? They really are whatever someone decides to make them- blank canvas for all kinds of goodness.
Amazing video. And so proud of Daz for breaking his bad habit of saying chicken burger.
That’s always my main complaint with all menus in 🇬🇧
Hope you folks had a great trip to the US and I hope you make more trips here in the future and get to see more of our country. Despite the politics and the troubles we have here, it really is a beautiful place. Peace and God bless.
Grits & bacon bits
Or other toppings:
Butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, raisins, peanut butter, jam, jellies.

Shrimp and grits are really good too.

Grits you have to add pepper and salt
You need lots of butter and pepper on the grits. Add some breakfast ;sausage, too.

Being from Minnesota I had grits in the army and will never have them again and that was 40 plus years ago

It's amusing watching people describe the texture of grits without using the most descriptive term, gritty
