A neighborhood kid I grew up with put mayo in his grits. I couldn't stand to eat breakfast with him. He also put ketchup on his eggs which I thought was gross, too . . . until I tried salsa on eggs, which is pretty tasty. Me, I think cheese grits are an abomination.
I thought that too but i tried them at a restaurant. There's a dish at Pappadeaux that serves them with grilled fish and they were pretty good. They're served with ham chunks in them as well. Mayo in my grits though, hell no.
I have been served shrimp grits that were pretty damn good, too. I just prefer my shrimp sans grits and my grits san shrimp.
I must disagree here. ETA: the andouille cheese grits at Pappadeaux's as a side order is pretty darned good.
