They're a breakfast option on most Amtrak services
"Hash browns or grits?"

You should try everything at least twice in this life, but once was enough for me and grits, thank you.

I've just googled grits.
It doesn't sound very nice. I'd try it though.

apparently butter and salt are the garnishes of choice when it comes to grits
I'll be honest and say I've never had them, but I just can't
they look bleurgh

They're like dry, compressed weetabix dipped in sump oil.

that description is a lot worse than I thought they would be
and so now, I shall NEVER try them

I'll go with the hash-browns.

I wish I'd not mentioned them
Partially because of the revoltingness of grits, but mainly because I can't have an Amtrak breakfast this year and have the option of saying no to grits.
