Just curious where people fall on this.
I use just a little bit, and I put berries in it (raspberries are my go-to, but strawberries are fine too) alongside some cinnamon.
Basically this is my type of oatmeal:

Hell naw!
Butter, salt, and black pepper for breakfast, but the real answer is cheese and shrimp.

I'm for everyone doin things their own way and reserving judgement and all that, but what is this nonsense.
Sugar is for cream of wheat.

It's not? I thought "grit" was general term/synonym of "cereal". So grit and oatmeal are mutually exclusive?
That poll makes no sense, all civilized people do salt, pepper and butter (maybe even cheese if you're feeling fancy)
Never tried sweet grits, but I wouldn't be averse to it. Another thread of people overreacting to food stuff.
Absolutely not. 100% a southern boy and I've never heard of this.
Salt, pepper, butter, cheese. That's it.

Naw.
Personally, I save the sweet stuff for Oatmeal.
Grits are a savory venture.
A little salt, butter, pepper. Get some eggs and sausage up in there. Sop it up with some toast or a biscuit.
That's the good stuff right there.

In my house:
- Butter + Sugar (often brown sugar) is for Cream of Wheat.
- Butter + Salt & Pepper + cheese is for Grits.

alright then I've never had grits.
Grits - Wikipedia

Grits are made from cornmeal.
I don't eat grits often, but when I do, I put sugar in them. So...yes.
I've yet to have savory grits, despite the fact that my grandmother loves them.

No, oatmeal is made from oats. Grits are made from cornmeal. They might look kind of similar, but the taste and texture is a lot different.
What? Grits are made of cornmeal, oatmeal is oats.
But I don't put sugar in either of them.
It's funny because sugar in grits is actually a real debate.

Sounds like I need to make two different threads now lol. You've piqued my interest.
North Carolinian born and raised. It's a debate. You may have a strong take one way but it's a debate.
it's not a debate anywhere else outside of a few places in the south.
It's not even a debate at Waffle House.
I mean, I grew up with kids eating sweet grits for breakfast. Was never my thing but some people do eat them that way!
I've never had sweet grits but something like cream and honey + berries sounds pretty killer. Even a sweet and savory application like shrimp or bacon and cheddar grits with hot honey drizzled on top would be nice
Seeing folks overreact to food choices on the internet continues to baffle me. Food is not some sacred institution, eat whatever you want

Asking for sugar in your grits is an amazing way of getting thrown out of WH
Kids add sugar to everything. That's just what they do because their taste palettes are super basic and they don't like really salty or spicy things. No reasonable adult is adding sugar to their grits lol
I haven't done it in a while since I had sweet grits, but I liked them as a kid. I'm team sweet or savory.
