Across the American South, breakfast often means grits: coarsely ground corn simmered into a soft porridge and served with butter or cheese, or as shrimp and grits. Cooked in water they’re light, so the butter, cheese and cream stirred in make the real difference. A 250 g bowl of plain grits comes to roughly 178 kcal.
