Now, cheese grits are good! But they have to be prepared right. Other than that, grits are pretty tasteless, especially hominy ones. Big, fat corn pellets soaked in lye. Yechh!
And, yes, I'm from the "deep south" originally...I'm from Louisiana. I don't think I would ever give a newcomer (and that includes my Yankee friends!) grits as a welcome device. Start them out with something they can handle better. Grits is an acquired taste. I would hate to go to Scotland and have someone expect me to eat haggis!
