Mushy, buttery, salty popcorn tastes great. Grits have no taste of their own (to a Yankee. )

It's not whole corn kernels that are used. Imagine if you bit off and saved the little pointy end and threw away the rest. Then you boiled those little pointy bits until they had the texture of quicksand... Then boiled just a bit longer because you can... NOW you have grits... Left on the plate without washing, and they have to be removed by sand-blasting. HCL has no effect, nor does wire-brushing.

(You can understand why I'm 'Persona Non Grata' in four Southern States...)
