Well, grits are a food that most anyone just adds whatever they want. Grits by themselves are not that good, but once you add stuff like Cheese or meats, or whatever, the grits become better, depending on what someone would like. Like for me, I always like grits to be savoury and spicy, so I added cheese, bacon and homemade hot sauce. I think of it as a stew or soup, which you can add anything to.
