They also have high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient. While I
like the products for the most part, I am trying to avoid things with
HFCS in them.
Sadly, Pepperidge Farm products also have it in there...

If you like hushpuppies, you'll find lots of good mixes on the shelves
in the south.

But they are so simple to make with cornmeal, why bother with a mix?

I like polenta, but I know how to cook that. Grits, believe it or

To my way of thinking the almost cornbread like texture of polenta
appeals
to me more than the gloppiness oatmeal texture of grits...THen
there's the
taste differences. Polenta has some ..and grits are very bland.

To me that's disgusting texture and no flavour...What's to like about
grits?

Remember "cream-of-wheat"? Grits are just the corn version of "cream
of wheat" IMO.
Sort of like pablum. You have to doctor it up with some butter and
maybe some maple syrup. Maybe a little hot milk. Or serve it with
just butter along with your eggs and meat.

I don't care for grits with syrup (down here it would probably be sorghum)
or milk in them. But butter and cheese, you betcha! You can do lots of
things with grits but they definitely need to be doctored with at least
butter, salt & pepper. However, all by themselves they contain absolutely
no fat so if you're watching fat content you only have to be concerned about
what you add to them.
