While plenty of Texans have grit, I haven't met many Texans who eat grits. Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Virginia--they eat grits. Acceptable additions include salt, pepper, butter, and cheddar cheese. The yanks eat cream of wheat. Acceptable additions include milk and sugar. Texans eat toast with eggs, bacon, and sausage, steak and eggs, chicken fried steak and eggs, biscuits and creamed gravy, Texas toast dipped in cream gravy.... The biggest distinctive quality of a Texas breakfast is how much is put on the plate. It is truly Texas sized.
Oh, that takes me back. When I was in Basic Training, I saw from accross the table some yankee kid in my Platoon put milk and sugar on his grits. I almost threw up.
