It’s funny because it’s mostly a southern thing here in the USA. Northern folks often don’t know what they are either. Lots of people don’t care for them, mostly because they’ve never had them prepared well. It’s actually dried corn with the hull removed and then ground to small pebble like “grits.” You boil them like oatmeal. My granddaughter is a big fan of mine.

Thanks for the explanation.  Don't think I fancy them.  Not a big corn fan.

I knew what they are but I don't think I have ever had them!

They are rather bland and flavorless on their own. Much better with bacon or sausage or eggs mixed in with them along with salt and pepper and any other flavoring you might like.
