grits
Boiled corn meal
Grits are coarsely ground dried corn, boiled into a porridge-like consistency.
A staple of Southern American cuisine, grits are served as a breakfast side dish or as a base for shrimp and other toppings: She ordered eggs with a side of grits.
The word is plural but refers to a single dish: Grits is my favorite breakfast.
