grits and cream of wheat are like little marbles rolling around in one's mouth. They are ugly no matter what you put on them.

Hey, there is the famous Fount Ray Armstrong back among us! Hey, F.R., good to see you. Stick around...we have been having fun fighting about food. If your grits and Cream of Wheat (don't like that, myself) are like marbles, they must not be getting stirred enough to make them smooth when you are cooking them, or you are cooking them too hot. No wonder you don't like them.
