Well, catching up on all the grit recipes - surprised no one has offered my personal favorite; grits and red eye gravy. This was introduced to me by the cocker breeder/handler I worked for back in the 70's. She moved up from the south and brought with her this salty weird ham, which I hated at first but eventually grew to love! It requires authentic "country" ham, which is salt cured and best when sliced 1/4". This is usually prepared as a breakfast meal.
Have ready the grits prepared as usual with lots of butter added. Fry the ham in a seasoned cast iron skillet till browned on both sides. Remove the ham and add 1 or 2 cups of leftover (strong) brewed coffee to the pan drippings, bring to a boil. Pour this thin gravy over the grits and ham. This was always served with fresh southern biscuits. We had this almost every morning when we were headed out to shows and had to get up in the wee hours for the long drive.
