Bobs Red Mill

North of Mason Dixon line......choices are limited. Some form of Quaker may be it. South of Mason Dixon line.......options open up. Some grocery stores may have 3 to 5 choices of traditional grits that take 20 minutes or so to cook. Jim Dandy is one. From memory, can't remember the others. All about the same.

But for the hard core grit eaters, there is another option.......the stone ground coarse grits. Here is one........but there are others like it. These will take you at least an hour.

Yes......polenta is just grits by another name. Upscale Italian food.........a way to get city folks to eat em. When cooled and chilled into a loaf.........then fried.........also known as fried mush. Breakfast specialty treat.

Polenta is Italian poverty food...that somehow went upscale...

My mom used to cook and fry farina, and tell us it was fish, lol I'm well aware of the various poverty foods,,,

I love me some poverty food. It's all about the love you put into the pot not the fancy ingredients.

Give me beans and rice, collards, low cuts of pork, a little smoked meat, an old laying hen and I can make up some good and filling to feed the family.
