My grocery store thought that Cream of Wheat was a suitable substitute for Grits
- Thread starter Dalek

This is true somewhat but the tradeoff is that sometimes they don't have the specific brand and package of whatever you wanted, say a variety of lunch meat, and rather than substitute any of the 40 other brands of that same type of lunchmeat they have, they just mark it unavailable and you get nothing at all. You really expect me to believe the biggest Walmart in the region has no sliced turkey?
Then when you WOULD want to just get nothing instead, because you ordered something very specific, like a low carb low calorie wrap, the substitution is a massive stack of full-carb 200 calorie white tortillas.
You can edit the substitutions if they actually fire off the notification in time for you to do so, which in my experience they do not. If they decide it's unavailable though, even if you catch the substitution edit window, you can't pick another brand. Unavailable is just a dead end.
But yeah, sometimes you want a 16oz bottle of sauce and end up with a jug and pay the same price and don't have to buy sauce for 4 months lmao
I had cream of wheat once. whatever. just another porridge that my dad used to make.
grits I've never had, because that's not really a thing in the northeastern United States. and I didn't bother to seek it out.

I like grits but man I fuckin love Cream of Wheat. Maybe it's because I'm a Midwesterner who spent too much time at my grandparents house as a kid watching Price is Right and eating Cream of Wheat, but I love that stuff to this day. And I don't really even have to dress it up, just a square of butter and a splash of milk.
But that said, I eat oatmeal every day almost. I just switch it out now and then for cream of wheat.

The southern US in particular.
But ERA is a pretty bad barometer for food knowledge anyhow lol
I had grits when I was travelling in the South, and I can't say I was impressed.
Cream of wheat, though? I loved that when I was a kid.

True, but even in Washington state, I have come across them in restaurants/hotels way more often than in British Columbia.
I voted grits in the poll even though I grew up with cream of wheat.
First thing I thought of. Well, and Vinnie talking about time it takes to cook grits in Court.
Not the scene I thought of but the idea of instant grits...

While this is true-I will make grits on the stovetop for most ocassions-like yesterday I made a big bowl of shrimp and grits.
But if my daughter has to be out the door in 8 minutes and we are running around trying to get ready? Instant grits and she easts them in the car.
Don't forget the spiced apples, cinnamon, and syrup.
Shrimp is for gumbo and seafood boils, not grits.
I don't even care if this catches me a ban; I'll shout it from the rooftops:
Sweet Grits for Life!
Down with all Forms of Savory Grits!
I'd recently tried grits for the first time after picking up a slightly damaged box of the instant packets at a steep discount. I liked those, but then I bought a canister of the slightly less instant ones, and they seem terribly bland. Am I supposed to dump a bunch of salt in it or something?
One of our most popular dishes at my restaurant, Shrimp N Grits.
White Chedder grits, with shrimp cooked in butter, worstecshire sauce, hot suace, and sauteed pancetta and cippolini onions. grilled bread, green onions.
That looks so fucking good

Damn, my mouth got all watery and shit
Cream of wheat made with milk and then some salt and a drizzle of maple syrup on top is a good ass food.

Beautiful.
Also, reminds me.
There's Shrimp N Grits.
There's Sausage N Grits.
Am I the only one who makes Shrimp AND Sausage grits? Am I a glutton?
yo what the fuck is wrong with those grits in the OP
the black ones sure as shit can
Oof! Confession I didn't even look at the OP. I already knew my answer (Grits) and jumped to the last page and voted.
I just looked at the OP...
What is that?

I ain't gonna lie, that looks good
I mean, they are different but both are good and wouldn't be bothered if I got cream of wheat instead. Nothing was lost.
